it's an affiliate site - I really well done one too

It's like the price comparison site's, they let you search on their site but you get redirected to the original seller to check out, they then get a % commission

It is remarkably well done. Owned by a company that does Webdesign, SEO etc...so perhaps they were bored one day

So I assume its all perfectly legit as far as google is concerned....thought that there would have to be some sort of clue that basically its a mirror of pets at home

Well unless the page content has been copied (which I very much doubt a web design / seo outfit would do) then it is a seperate site in it's own right - just as confused.com is seperate from the insurance companies that it directs traffic to.

Page content is just a straight copy and not very good either as it brings across the the bullets etc from the PAH site but without the formatting

No big deal really but it just seems all a bit wrong. In fact its nothing like confused or similar.....it is just a big front for pets at home. Doesnt seem to link to anywhere else

I meant the whole find it onsite and then pay elsewhere system was similar to confused, the price comparison sites do exactly the same thing except with multiple vendors.

Maybe someone should do a comparethepetshop.com

There's nothing wrong with what they are doing - the business model has been around for many years especially... And some people make a good living from it...
