What's great about this site is you've got prices, reviews, locations, phone numbers and all the other information you need about each vendor right in front of you. You also don't' need to register to use the service, which is nice. All you have to do is put in your email and it will tell you when the price starts coming down. Despite the fluidity of the front page, however, once you go a few layers into the category structure it gets ugly. Advertising, as you can probably tell, is a major profit for cnet.
Every page has at least four different types of advertising on it.
Less experienced users may find themselves clicking misleading links and find themselves at some affiliated or sponsored site. It isn't much of a problem, but it gets annoying when you're on a 56k. So you're an impulse buyer. You see that game in the window, go into the store, read the flap and take it home. You won't want to read this section then.
