Minneapolis, November. 7th, 2006 Wize.com, the Internet's best source to find independent expert and consumer product reviews, has been nominated by Clickz readers as the "Best Shopping Search Engine" in the annual Clickz Marketing Excellence Awards.
Wize.com, which is quickly becoming a consumer favorite for online shopping and consumer research, differentiates itself from other shopping search engines with its proprietary WizeRank™ score.
WizeRank aggregates the collective wisdom of more than 850,000 expert and consumer-written product reviews of more than 15,000 products and distills them into a single, simple number that's easy to understand.
"By aggregating thousands of product reviews from independent sources, Wize helps shoppers compare and decide between similar products," said Doug Baker, founder and chief executive officer of Wize. "With WizeRank, consumers feel better equipped to make a purchasing decision because they can see their target product ranked on a scale of 0 to 100."
Wize.com is currently featuring 12 products with a WizeRank of 100. These products include car seats, digital cameras and computer speakers.
"More and more online shoppers are looking to consumer product reviews to help guide them," said Baker. "As the Internet's leading review aggregation service, Wize.com greatly simplifies the process of finding great products by linking to hundreds of thousands of expert and consumer reviews from a single source."
