DFF categories are 3 levels deep ( first level / second level / third level ). Each level has been given its own unique category number. DFF's full list of categories with its numbers can be found here: TAB delimited text file or XLS Excel format.

DFF understands that most affiliate websites are focused on a certain subject or topic. Because of this we believe it is important to be able to control which Merchant / Store to display and which to not display. Afterall it is very unlikely that all affiliates to have 100% relationship with all DFF's participating merchants.
Once an affiliate joins DFF, they will be given a login and password to our Affiliate Control Panel (ACP). From there affiliate can apply, select and deselect certain merchant(s).
DataFeedFile.com has created a full featured price comparison shopping engine that took 5 experience programmers 1.5 years to create. Not to mention the hundreds of human labor hours spent identifying and categorizing products.
DataFeedFile.com has a total of approximately 25 million products as of today (8/28/2006). About 2 million has been identified and normalized with UPC / ISBN, have proper description and product pictures.
In order for an affiliate to re-create DFF tool and provide a similar shopping functionality, the affiliate would need at least 6 high-end servers, 2 years development time and hundreds of hours organizing product information. Not to mention the daily routine updates.

DFF provides these example in three most popular dynamic website scripting languages PHP, JSP and ASP.
