The Pisstakers web search to compare on-line shopping stores!

We come across lots of funny stuff when we compare on-line shopping stores - not to mention strange products. To show webmasters what is out there and keep your web search time down, we have assembled a load of different internet store options. In some cases, to show you how they work, we use one or some keywords: humor, funny, internet, technology, pisstakers and satire.

Hope it helps monetize your blog or website



Cafe Press: 1-stop on-line tees merchandiser




It seems like everyone with aspirations for an on-line shop goes to cafe Press first . The old internet hands have trashed them a lot of times, saying their t-shirt quality is questionable, and how long did it take for them to get their act together for a black tee?!!!! Having said that, they have a lot of customers, so perhaps they are doing something right.

Secure shopping basket, relevant searches, slick and constant updating of lines, all backed by technology from the biggest and best names in on-line shopping. That all sounds quite compelling. Trouble is, the human element spoils it all - everything is going great with your order until the fricking delivery driver helps himself or it gets "lost" in the post(man's house).

The Pisstakers' great line of clothing and merchandise

Did you know? According to an article in one of the excellent podcasts from Boag World, 70% of all shopping basket experiences end up aborted.

Apparently this is due to fiddly order processes, excessive info requests and plain dumb forms. Well, we can safely say that our shopping experience probably beats 70% of all known websites. Not a bad claim for an upstart!

Inflatable hot spa

with-and-without-wires

This ingenious Inflatable Hot Spa is quick and easy to get ready for use and will take just 10 minutes to set up. According to a couple of customers, this thing is hot and fun and great value for money. It must be, then. Check it out.

Inflatable, portable, ridiculous hot spa?


As someone who has had a jacuzzi/spa/hot bubbly bath on their list of must-have items before they die, I am also stunned at this product. Isn't it a cross between a kiddies blow-up paddling pool and an above ground swimming pool? ie the 2 worst products on earth rolled into one!

There is a stand-up routine from one of the comedians featured on TopFunnies, where they talk about above ground pools. "Have you ever noticed that commercials for above ground pools never last more than 30 seconds."

That's because initially, the people in the pool splash and laugh and genuinely have fun, but after 28 seconds they realise that that is it, there is no more fun to be had. The novelty value wears off by the 30th second and their body language changes, so they cut the cameras before the actors' expressions and body language say "This is the single biggest waste of money out there, folks, don't buy into this crap."

An inflatable spa conjures up the same sentiment. A great idea for classless deprived British folks with a spare £400, but once they get drunk and start dropping wine glasses, that smile will disappear when the damn thing deflates and floods their yard, their neighbors' yards, and the street.

Pisstakers gives it 2 stars


It will be interesting to see how it flies, because this is the flagship product of a new on-line store that webmasters can integrate into their site in seconds. Perhaps I will eat my words as the customer rave reviews pile up, and convince me to place an order of my own sometime in the future. But somehow, I don't think so: "Over my dead body" says a little female voice behind me!

Disclaimer: This is not pay to post, pay to talk crap and no money has changed hands. Hell, I have never even seen this thing, but can only imagine!

TicTap and Amazon

TicTap used Amazon data and seem to have got their act together. This is what you get with the keyword funny.

Here we wondered what Amazon could produce by way of products with a few select keywords.

We specifically asked not to receive any Microsoft products or toys and games. True to form, what did we get on a couple of occasions?

Rightcart: 2-minute stores

It literally takes 120 seconds to get the store up and running, and takes the art of linking content with likely customers to a new level.

In theory, you could write an article on small dogs and have a ready made shopping site to accompany it within a few minutes. Goooooooogle do too, but this cart is new, so it deserves your support. BUY NOW.

Update Although it seems easy, it was a bit of a bind and the convenience factor is lost on us. Perhaps you will have a better experience.
