MallAgent.com announced its powerful MetaSearch engine has now been released as a free component to be added to any website.

During a recent interview with CEO, Mike Gehron, he said, "We just released several complimentary features designed to help web developers." Gehron went on to explain that anyone can now improve their websites by incorporating the MallAgent.com Metasearch box onto their own page.

"Our free search box searches 32 of the largest search sites on the web - and it returns results in seconds. What that means to website developers is that they can effortlessly put the full power of MallAgent on their sites, guaranteeing visitors will have more reason to visit more often -- and more reason to stay longer!" Gehron noted that MallAgent was already offering a URL registry service free of charge. "We automatically post your URL and metadata tags to the largest search engines on the web, and that makes it easy for new visitors to find you. Try it now," Gehron said, "register your URL with us, wait 48 hours, and then enter your name in our search box. We think you'll be surprised at how many sites where we will have you listed!" Gehron added, "Check back periodically, some sites may take a little longer than others to have you posted."

MallAgent.com is already known for offering the best comparison shopping on the web in addition to other unique features like the multiple mortgage site checker and its new MP3 search site. "We had a number of inquiries about where to find music sites with easy downloads. We're happy to say, that we now have the most comprehensive listing of those sites on the web! If you're a music lover," Gehron said, "you've got to check this out!"

The comparative shopping site market is among the hottest business to customer markets on the web. Over the next three years the total number of consumers making web-based purchases is expected to grow from 31 million to 183 million. And while consumer spending will double in the upcoming year alone, the number of online merchants will triple during the same period.

MallAgent.com offers a powerful way of organizing the myriad on-line shopping sites the consumer is faced with today.

Gehron concluded by saying, "Can you remember the last significant purchase you made on the web? Take the MallAgent.com challenge! Go to www. mallagent.com and enter the product name and model number into the search box. We are confident that within 30 seconds MallAgent will have identified a source for your item that will be lower than what you paid for it originally!"
