We will be updating these charts in the coming weeks to clearly indicate auction sites which have hidden their ownership information on their domain name WHOIS records.

Clickable links will no longer be provided to auction sites which are using a privacy guard and have hidden their ownership and contact info on their WHOIS records.

It's been almost 2 years since we updated this chart. The chart was originally started by BBH at FAS in October 2004 and he brought it to TT in May 2005 when he manifestoed from FAS but none of us have had time to keep it updated.

You may want to try the 'Channel Traffic Rankings' chart at Flunkies of Fiction for a more current traffic comparison of online selling channels. Flunkies of Fiction is a new blog started by an outspoken eBay Platinum PowerSeller who wishes to remain anonymous.

The writer of the Flunkies of Fiction blog has agreed to contribute their monthly Channel Traffic Rankings chart to TT so we've retired the Auction Site Traffic Rankings chart which hadn't been updated since October 2006.

I did make one slight change to FofF's chart. I changed their original "you are truly a moron!" wording to "you are making a mistake and lacking in business sense!"
