I can't even remember the last time I saw something for $3.21 that I wanted online - let alone 322 things.

Quote:total items sold 1,355
1 buyer accounts for 23.8% of all sales
2 buyers account for 35.8% of all sales
10 buyers account for 74.0% of all sales
the 10 largest buyers are all AlsoShop sellers
6 of the site's top 10 sellers are also ranked in the top 10 buyers chart

average sales price $3.21

translation #1: merchandise with an ASP of $3.21 attracts very few buyers from natural search

translation #2: AlsoShop is the poster child for seller-to-seller sales

translation #3: the lack of outsiders buyers indicates board junkie MoPuppet should cut back on her forum posting and buy a SEO for Dummies book

translation #4: the lack of outside buyers and the use of usability school dropout phpProBid are related

translation #5: forum spamming isn't a substitute for traditional advertising campaigns
[/quote]

Translation #6: ASs (like many "eBay alternatives") is a FUN alternative to soap operas for lonely hobby sellers who just wanna have FUN--it's a social club.  It's not a viable sales channel for anyone who is actually running a real business and needs to generate revenues to pay the bills.

Mojavelyn's marketing plan to attract buyers to AlsoShop apparently consists of spamming multiple forums and social bookmarking sites

another lie from Mojavelyn Wrote:Submission to all the major shopping aggregators

Mojavelyn telling PSU user that AlsoShop has far better exposure in shopping searches than Atomic Mall (which she claims isn't listed in many of them) Wrote:Not every site is is like that. some actually do submit to google base and products and other aggregators, and more.

Got the links to where AM items appear in the sites you claim?

A little test to prove MoPuppet is full of wombat poo poo about AlsoShop's exposure being better than that of AtomicMall (and I'm throwing in results from one of my stores because AQ Ray is right about me being jealous of the fact that AlsoShop's monthly GMV is less than I sell on a really bad day )

references to site in Google search: Zen #3 85,000; AtomicMall 47,700; AlsoShop 37,500
pages indexed in Google search: AtomicMall.com 30,300 AlsoShop 25,100; Zen #3 6,570
references to site in Yahoo search:  AtomicMall 46,800; Zen #3 38,500; AlsoShop 9,100
pages indexed in Yahoo search: Zen #3 22,218; AtomicMall 8,053; AlsoShop 605

google base listings: AlsoShop 20,188; AtomicMall 20,181; Zen #3 11,189
thefind: Zen #3 16,098; AlsoShop 3,137, Atomic Mall 500
Pronto: Zen #3 6,317; AtomicMall 0; AlsoShop 0

With the exception of Google Base and a handful of listings on TheFind, AlsoShop is nowhere to be found on the 10 most heavily trafficked shopping search sites: Yahoo Shopping, Nextag, Shopping.com, Shopzilla, Pronto, Smarter, PriceGrabber, and Like.com. Mo's spammed claim that AlsoShop  submits "to all the major shopping aggregators" is bullwombat poo poo.

The one thing that Mo does excel at doing is automated spamming of Google Groups: AlsoShop 112,000; AtomicMall 6,370

Quote:monthly GMV (based on 5 1/2 months) $790

How inept would you have to be to only generate $790 monthly gross from 24,000 listings?


edit- I looked at Google Groups.

Dear Group Manager,

Please delete  @alsoshop or forbid it from posting here, its behavior
has made it difficult for other students to benefit from this group.
Thanks a lot!

I am a TAMU student

There are 842 AlsoShop spams in the newsgroup for TAMU students.

Spamming student newsgroups and Anime forums is a great way to permanently alienate buyers. :

Hee hee.  Wagglepoop has nothing to worry about. The day is more than half over and there's been 1 sale for 1 cent on ASs.

AlsoShop latest sales Wrote:Item #:67907  09/15  $0.01
Item #:64854 09/14 $6.00
Item #:31774 09/14 $0.9

Alsoshop apparently allows identity thieves to register on their site. In.my.full.legal.name. Can you say, "COPS"?

EDIT so the Plundies don't feel left out: Big spender Marktard's wonderful new feedback import mod cost $10.

Wrong...
Those mods don't cost anything when the owner of both sites sells them  ;D

It doesn't look like the feedback import mod cost pimpmaster much more than $10 either:

AlsoShop sales stats
cumulative GMV (Apr-Sept)  $4,348[/quote]

September 12th $4,348
September 17th  $4,454

5 days $106 GMV sold on ASs. $21 daily GMV.  $2 gross per store.  40 cents daily gross per store.

eBay alternative? -nuh uh. Competition for Wagglepoop? -nuh uh.  ASs GMV is barely beating Ewaey's sales and Ewaey has been closed since July.

According to Quantcast her plan is a failure with a capital F.

Monthly US people
Wagglepoop 31,300
Plunderhere 6,900
Alsoshop 896

56.5% of AlsoShop's daily uniques are from Germany? :blinkie: Flip a coin: A. the German traffic is garbage traffic from a traffic exchange  and/or B. some boinktard(s) is visiting ASs via proxies to inflate the unique visitor count
