Yeah this is the biggest impediment to this being a really great idea, the database is just never going to be complete. It works well for me with national brands, especially a lot baby supplies, but it has a lot of really glaring omissions.

But if it did work a bit better or even if the handling of omissions was better it would be an affiliate sales gold mine.
