This is great, trying to unravel the CD/NM thing. There are two IDENTICAL sites on the web. ONE called "netmarket" and one called "everything 4 less" . They are IDENTICAL except for the title and except for the fact that the only way I can seem to get to E4less is through the broadcast.com portal. I can get to Netmarket through any search engine. In the customer service section both state the netmarket is owned and operated by CD. It does look like they have some kind of marketing agreement with NM to essentially hawk the same site under a different name (E4less). It seems almost like a controlled experiment to me. Let NM do a marketing blitz for a piece of the action and see if the increased traffic beats their own site or something like that. Maybe they will make other deals with other portals to get to the same site, but call it something different for each portal. The portal hypes the site, calls it their own, and gets a piece of the action.
