Actually I was referring more to the few articles that are posted like this one http://www.offers.com/guide/article/genealogy/. I believe offers.com will be rolling out more content like this in the future. I am not sure how they decide what topics to cover but I am guessing its related to the shopping aspect of the site and content that will help with SEO.

@steve

I was referring to the info from the “Editor’s Review” section (eg: http://www.offers.com/booksonline/doubleday-r/review/) being similar to the offer information listed in the affiliate network.

By “editorial content” as mentioned by Peter, I expected “review” type content, rather than the specs as provided by the advertiser/merchant.

Do we have different understanding of the phrase “editorial content”?

I am not sure what info you are suggesting is scraped. All of the content in the Service Offers section is original. The Coupons and promos in the Retail section come from the Affiliate Networks, however the expensive categorization of those are all done by in-house editors.

I was looking for “the editorial content” and the sections listed under “Editor’s review” looks like info scraped from the offer info.

Have been navigating through the rest of the site and had difficulty finding the original content (if that is the reference to “editorial content”).

Can someone point it out to me?

Tks.
