Promotional Products

I have finished another huge cURL scraping project. The cURL really isn't the hard part now, it's all the string replacement it takes to make the other site look good inside my site. (For those that are going "OH NO, HE CAN'T DO THAT!", they both belong to my boss, so it's okay.)

This is a section of a site to help small businesses or even large corporations find the logo imprinted or logo imprintable promotional products. These are often given away at trade shows, or as employee incentives. We have also had inquiries about ordering branded items for resale such as movie merchandising or other memorabilia You can see it here: Promotional Products

There is a search feature here:Stress Relievers I defaulted the search to "stress relievers" because they are so popular.

This is now an example to myself of what NOT to do. The problem was that I was scraping for content. If I had to do it over again, I'd scrape it for data, probably using DOM manipulation. (when I wrote this post, I'd have looked at you like a cow at a new gate if you asked me about the DOM)
