Navigation Bar: With our simple and easy to use left-hand navigation column subscribers find all web merchants grouped into 18 major categories, each with unique sub-categories. In some categories, a slider tool that lets subscribers data ranges they wish to see, such as viewing only e-retailers whose sites attract at least 1 million unique visitors per month. In other filter categories, such as Marketing, Customer Service or Web Site Features & Functions, subscribers check boxes to identify or filter, for example, only e-retailers whose sites offer customer reviews. Either function allows you to select as many criteria as you need.

Vendors and Executives: The Executive Listings section of Top500Guide.com includes name, title and affiliation of all Top 500 retail executives. Subscribers use this page to identify peers or prospects. With this tool, subscribers can view executive listings by company and name. The Vendors section allows users to sort vendors by the retailers they serve and the types of technology and services that they provide.
Search Data: Type a keyword into the search box and the results will display where that keyword is mentioned in any of 1,300 e-retailing company profiles.

Search Vendors by e-commerce solution categories and by company name to determine which top 1,300 web retailers use a particular vendor (and how the total web sales those e-retailers generate) or to obtain the entire major client list a selected vendor.
