How Often Affiliate Feeds Are Updated and Why It Matters
Some merchants push near-real-time APIs for price and availability, with changes visible in minutes.

How to Structure a Price Comparison Site When Products Fit Multiple Categories
Before menus, filters, or landing pages, the cleanest move is to model the product as the stable record.
