Shopzilla, Inc. is the parent company that owns both BizRate- and Shopzilla-branded shopping search engine products. Currently, BizRate-branded banners are provided to Affiliate partners for website placement.

What products will be displayed in the banners?

The banners for Affiliate partners are currently individually created at BizRate based on relevancy to the content on our Affiliate partner's websites. For example, an Affiliate partner, whose website featured an interest in digital cameras, would be provided with banners that feature digital cameras more prominently than other product categories.
