Oversee.net Purchases ShopWiki

Oversee jumps into retail vertical in big way.

Oversee.net, parent firm of DomainSponsor, Moniker, and SnapNames, disclosed today that it has purchased shopping comparison network ShopWiki Corp.

The network of 11 country-specific shopping comparison sites will be the cornerstone for Oversee.net’s entry into the retail vertical. Oversee.net by now has comparison engines in the travel and financial services sectors with LowFares.com and CreditCards.org.

ShopWiki.com is ranked #527 on Compete.com, which estimates the site receives over three million unique visitors per month.

ShopWiki Corp was backed by investment firm Generation Partners, a firm that “gets” the online content space. The firm also invested in Demand Media, which owns eHow, eNom, and Hotkeys. Demand Media went public this stretch.
