Check out www.perfumy.com.au
It lists all the fragrances and perfumes from major online Australian stores
You may search any title, filter by Store, Budget, Compare prices etc..
Happy browsing and keep saving :)
Feedback is welcome
NOTE: I have no affiliation with any items/stores listed on the website
It's spam because OP already posted the exact same thing, but for shoes. Not did they bother marking their association with their website despite having being here for eight years already and therefore being very familiar with the OzBargain rules
Oh doh, I didn't look into their post history. Cheers for the clarification.
Why is it exactly spam?
I have two different websites with two different purposes. So where exactly is the problem?
Store association? Read the title buddy! It clearly says "I Created"
I will let admins decide
I can read; thanks. It seems you can't as I detailed why it's spam. I can also see there is no 'Associated' tag. Go look at your other post, 'buddy' and learn how to post as an associate
@kerfuffle: It's spam because OP already posted the exact same thing, but for shoes. Not did they bother marking their association with their website despite having being here for eight years already and therefore being very familiar with the OzBargain rules
That's your comment
I still don't see where you explained how is my post a scam!
@choker: Once again, you can't read. Nowhere did I say it's a scam. I said it's spam.
All your posts here in the past eight years have been some some of promotion post as an associated user. You don't actively contribute to the OzBargain community.
@kerfuffle: Oh goodness
I created a tool that can potentially help users grab a discount
For Perfumes and Shoes (my other post/website)
How is it not the best contribution for a website like OzBargrain and how exactly is it spam?
Haha.. help me out please
@admins
They may be learning web dev?
@lizzle
I get what you mean
The website you are talking about, there are similar websites for food industry, insurances etc.. They are professional companies
My website is just a hobby/side project that I like to work on in spare time
I make no money off it and don't intend to either
It's just an automatic program that does everything automatically and publishes on the website
Maybe one day..
For time being, this is all I have to offer
Thanks for your feedback though
Op asks for Feedback, feedback given, and it's good feedback which will make your site much easier to use.. but you then say it's all you have to offer… If you can't change it, what you asking for feedback for?
Lol
Feedback received and acknowledged
Did you read the line "Maybe one day.." ?
I agree, this isn't spam, it's actually a useful site for me (needs refinement). No idea why all the hate. If it was posted under Deals instead of Forum, then yeah ok it would be spam.
Also, I looked up what an 'associate', and it says if you or family/friends have a relationship with the store….this site is just to filter products and prices and has no association with any of the stores.
So what if there is a separate site for searching for shoes?
I think this is the second own website you try to promote, but why you don't declare that you associate with the website?
The title clearly says it "I Created"
This is proof that not all people understand about associated when making a post. Some people just want to contribute spontaneously without thinking about the associated thing or whatever.
Mods should guide people. Rather than maybe deleting posts or maybe showing anger in words, guide people to understand how to make a "proper" post. Also not all people ever think or know about using search function whether there's same post or not. Deleting posts could piss people off and not contributing anymore.
This is from general average people's perspective. Mods need to have higher level of patience and not to be harsh to any posts. Smile :)
But tbh mods don’t have the time to coach everyone here, also to their credit they heard what op had to say and they didn’t ban his ip, even though it seems like he has/had multiple accounts. His last post was taken down coz it was posted by a ‘ghost account’.
Also, op has been on Ozbargain for quite a long time now.
Having said that, I am a little critical of my fellow users, there’s a general theme here of being rude from the get go rather than just politely guiding someone.
Having multiple emails is common. So, people may think it's okay to have multiple accounts for everything …
Wait, op has/had multiple ozbargain accounts.
I thought that was against the rules, no?
@Gervais fanboy: I did have multiple accounts which I wasn't aware of. Got banned yesterday. Spoke to mods/admins and issue is now clear. The other accounts are already deactivated
Hope that clears it
@choker: Mate, I wasn’t scrutinising you or anything.
Neoleo seemed a little misguided with his assertions, so I was trying to clear things up with him.
I wasn’t critiquing you and am actually very grateful for these two websites that you have setup for us.
@Gervais fanboy: This is by far the nicest comment I have received. Haha. Thanks mate. I am glad my websites is helping people
@Gervais fanboy: Not misguided. I have read previous comments of choker and other people in his posts. In fact, if you check my previous comments, actually I kinda asked/gave him some good input for improvement of the websites.
@neoleo: Bro
Mods should guide people. Rather than maybe deleting posts or maybe showing anger in words, guide people to understand how to make a "proper" post.
Just fyi, mods didn’t take any his last post down coz there was anything wrong with it. They took it down because op’s other account got flagged as a ‘ghost account’.
Having multiple emails is common.
Yeah, I don’t even know what you are on about with this one.
Anyways, you can have the last say after this. I don’t wanna argue.
@Gervais fanboy: About the mods, think of my previous comment above as a good input/feedback.
About multiple accounts, it's common for people to have multiple bank accounts, sim cards, multiple gmail accounts or other emails, etc. I do it as well.
I think you're trying to reinvent the wheel here. Your web-scrape sites are redundant, given that there's already sites that perform what you're trying to do much better such as "Fashion Lane".
I'm assuming most of us here are happy to just add keywords and get notified when deals are posted…and have a bit of a chat at the same time.
The only purpose in creating a scraping site (outside of hobby-coding) is for affiliate commissions.
If you're going down this route, consider scraping deals from sites such as CamelCamelCamel, rather than freely driving business to Myer, for example.
You may think there's no harm in posting affiliate links here, but opening the flood-gates will result in OZB being reduced to a spam site with people all competing for commissions.
Just…don't post it here. Also realize that YT and IG is saturated, so if you're serious about making money long-term, you'll need your own unique/fresh products and branding to set yourself out from the crowd. If it's good enough, it'll be stolen. If fashion wasn't cutthroat and affiliate marketing was easy, everyone would be doing it instead of OF.
Sorry for the black-pill, but I do wish you luck and hope you can generate some passive income with this.
My allergy kicked in as soon as I saw the word "perfume".
I know this has been marked as spam by some, but in case you're genuinely trying to grow the website/help people - I think it would be a lot easier to use if a particular product was only listed once, and all suppliers/sellers of the product came up on one page for easy comparison. For example if I search Marc Jacobs Ever So Fresh, I'd prefer a single product to show for the 75ml, 30ml and penspray (so 3 total). Within each product page, it could list each website and their link.
My (dental) workplace recently started using a similar website called Invedent for ordering dental supplies, and they do basically the same thing - pull data/prices from a bunch of suppliers to make it easier to shop for the lowest price.
Great concept, but could be refined to make it a more user friendly website.
