You've asked an interesting question here and I suppose I'm one of the ones best qualified to answer because I've seen and often participated in just about all the others. SFI has them all beat by a country mile and that's why I've pulled out of just about everything else to devote my efforts completely with SFI. Some say 'don't put all your eggs in one basket' but I see SFI as a basket where I can place a lot of eggs without much worry.
"How does SFI compare to other online businesses?"
Many online business are flash in a pan. They show up and make a splash on the launch and then they often seem to fade into obscurity. SFI has stood the test of time on the web by being a growing concern for 17 years. I think that online years compare to bricks and mortar years nearly like dog years relate to human ones and 17x7 over a century. :-)
Online business also tend to concentrate on only one thing at a time. The exceptions like Google, Yahoo and SFI have become diverse because they only added new services after the other(s) were doing well. Now SFI is a number of excellent goodies like pricebenders, tripleclicks, eager zebra, PPA, and ECA rolled together. Add to that the vast assortment of commissionable items and you have a program that you can do almost anything and everything with.
So to answer your question in one final sentence I would have to say - "No other business can compare online to SFI because SFI beats them all the rest, hands down".
