Ben makes ($5.45) from affiliate deals off of each visitor.
The site is distinguished by a format in which Ben posts all deals, and site visitors leave feedback and comments about each deal, often with a greater emphasis on humor than on deal-analysis.
The results are of sometimes questionable quality.
The amount and quality of user comments declined precipitously in 2007 when a site redesign prohibited postings by unregistered visitors.
