I'm searching for where my placement is for some key words and phases for offshoreelectrics today, so I type in "water jacket for neu 1521", this site pops up.

http://www.shopwiki.com/detail/d=Neu_1521_Motor_Aluminum_Water_Jacket/

I have no affiliation with this company at all. I see no ads for competing products, so why are they doing this? What am I missing?

That IS odd. They use your images, prices, and description. At least they direct traffic to your store.
Speaking of OSE jackets, Steven, when will the Feigao 380 Aluminum Water Jacket be in stock? I really need one for my offshore warrior!

Looks to be similar to price watch or tiger direct - they get paid by sponsors selling other stuff depending on the number of hits.

Ah, so they try to gather a ton of products for some cross selling?

its like a store that uses cookies to look for every body's information about selling stuff.
I bet if you click it and go through every thing it will take you right to your website and you will get a order.
like i could type in anything, like Chev silverado cab corner, and some website is selling it but it shows up there,

I see it now. Must be some very cool software to be able to copy all the text and pictures so nicely.

Steven, this is all database driven, the database is setup in a way that it gathers information from all the websites it has been pointed to and then it outputs a page that looks like what it was programmed to do... it is cool stuff (from a web developer points of view).
Someone is making money by sending people to your site but ONLY once the transaction is completed on your end. They have ways to get all that information...
I'll send you the person behind the website via PM.
