I agree. Google searches are pretty good, but a lot of times you come up with tons of junk sites. If the first page of Google results is not what I want, I usually click the Groups tab to perform the same search there. Those two types of searches usually get me what I'm looking for.
Check out my site which heavily uses the Amazon web services. Instead of doing the typical top ten lists, I have my content rotate through the top 30 or so products. 10 chosen per day in many different categories. You can find the site here: dealsites.net
Many online deals come from other sites than Amazon, so check out a dynamically updated list from multiple sites. You can find the daily top ten items and search across multiple deal sites. Here is the real-time deals. I find that it's a good snapshot of every deal on the Internet in any given day since the data is all pulled from sources that a human evaulated.
However, when search engines do start doing deep crawls, especially if they do POSTs and GETs, then the bandwidth of the web site will go up tremendously. While it is important to get crawled, what happens when your site uses more bandwidth for search engines than users? Also what would prevent other companies from developing thier own search engines? Then you might have 20 or more search engines doing deep crawls every month. Many websites are operated on low-cost low-bandwith hosting plans.
For real. I've been running dealsites.net for a while can hardly get any traffic from the search engines. My site has a lot of content, but for some reason the search bots rarely hit my site. What can I do to fix that? I've got some links to my site, but how else can I get more traffic if I can't get into the search engines? The word-of-mouth doesn't travel too fast!

If this sort of thing is common, can anyone recommend any review sites that they trust?

Real-time deal updates
Well, This link probably won't paste in correctly, but Amazon shows 55,395,164 incoming links at http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/
I'd say the web services created a TON on incoming links to Amazon.
Sorry to reply to my own comment....

Although this book is probably good, I found a lot of good PHP Amazon Web Services code from: http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Using-Amazon-Web-S
I think they have other examples in languages other than PHP too.

I agree that the search engines do not index dynamically generated pages very well. This page on my site http://www.dealsites.net/index.php?module=MyHeadli nes&func=view&myh=menu&gid=22&pid=2&eid=504&tid=30 0&context= hasn't seemed to attract any of the search engines yet. I'm not sure why, the data changes hourly and I have a direct link to that page on my site.

This is the content the visitors come for.
