Quote:Ummm, if your auction site submits over 20,000 items to Product Search and other CSE's/social media sites and your 7-day GMV is only $143 your marketing and management skills are several levels below mediocre.

The problem may also be that many of Alsoshop's items, specifically many of the used books which account for over 25% of the site's listings, are overpriced in comparison to the competition.

A small sampling (from the site owner's store):
ISBN 0743469852: ASs-$2.00, AMZN-599 sellers from $0.01
0380976579: ASs-$5.00 (for a book club edition), AMZN- 135 sellers from $0.01
0441525628: ASs-$1.00, AMZN-146 sellers from $0.01
0345418808: ASs- (used, $5 auction/$10 BIN), AMZN-42 used from $1.41 and 10 new from $2.95
0380976587: ASs-$7.00 (for a used book club edition), AMZN-143 used from $0.01 and 21 new from $5.29

Devoting 4 main home page top level categories (Avon, Tupperware, Watkins, Rada Cutlery) to products that are widely available nationwide in the US from an army of tens of thousands of stay at home party resellers also hurts STR.

A buyer unfriendly script, difficult checkout process, and the site's failure to understand how to properly address the issue of buyer trust  also contribute to the low STR on the site. PayPal verification of sellers provides an income stream for site owners but does little, if anything, to increase buyer trust.

If you subtract the contest related purchases from the 3/1-3/10 daily sales numbers  you're left with....HEY MODERATOR, where are the "goose eggs" and "invisible to outside buyers" smilies?

does MOO own part of psuu???.. because  the site allows her to break the rules over anyone else

for example when  atomicmall owner goes into bonanzles threads to  stir up trouble and spam.. he is allowed  but when he is in debate with MOO when it is her  doing the rule breaking  he gets 2 cards quickly

in deabate about sites and  traffic  trends    her site on compete.com shows a drop of 55% over a  yr.. in debatge she said that she is certain compete  does not say that.. then when she was told it is THERE  she  tricks and decieves to  attack  on another issue .. she is there attacking and  insuklting.    and lieing .. but the newbie gets banned and she is all fine

does she own part of that site?

also  she said  its easy to maqnipulate  those rating sites.... 2 compete and quantcast says he same thing a  drastic drop over a yr.. but alexa shows the opposite  that brings up red flags since the site is so small and she knows how to manipulate and since 2 says the oppsite  and her proving so much deciet and tricjkering in debate.. could  that one site  diff mean manipulation?

No, but her PSU mod buddy Elgato has a store on Alsoshop

Perhaps she should take the advice she has given other site owners with declining stats and "get off her duff and do some work"  tolensmiley:

Her hard work of flipping back and forth and deleting cookies paid off. Bid-a-lot had an Alexa rank of 23,000 when Mo was promoting the site. (with only 6300 members and 7000 listings ) http://finance.dir.groups.yahoo.com/grou...threaded=1&var=1

well that pretty much clears  this up...

when she came in my thread when i was giving out  what  independent rating sites are saying about diff sites... and saying  the word CERTAIN  she knew for CERTAIN they do not say that she even said compete  for certain did not and quantcast..

compete shows a 55% drop  over 1 yr.. quantcast pretty much agrees with current  reading at 330 and max reading 660 something.. but then when i looked at alexa i see  a  total opposite..

now bringing up her talk about how she works one of those 3.. the one she says she works is alexa  the very one that disagrees with the other 2... i have seen they all 3  pretty much agree generally some diff  but NEVER a  drastic diff  like this is with moos  site.

so what all this means about psuu itself is very bad news...
i see stockmiser there psoting alot  and only in ebay stuff and never in these places  with the  up to no good stuff  .....  but this all shows  this is all up to no good  stuff by psuu themselves to allow this and to work against anyone that  shows the truth on these  tricksters like moo..

if stockmiser knows  this like he may.. why in the world would he stay there helping psuu  harm sellers like this  helping by bringing activity and money for the site??

oh and several of my posts  are gone that shows  bad on MOO and patch..

like  saying who is coming in whose thread

who is  telling the member they are debating with  they are pushing the blue  button..
my explaination on what it MEANS  to tell someones TARGET  directly they are pushing the blue button  when they come in the persons own thread  all that  proves is a cut and dry case of a person attacking a  target...

I explained pushing the blue button  without hitting the target  by telling him  should be the only way to push the button.. the other way is  for revenge and personal attacks and that type  person should be banned

all that explained is deleted

MoRon is living proof that there is an inverse relationship between a poster's PSU count and their IQ.

Their dividends is based on the profits. if enough sellers can and will leave, the bottom line is effected.

No, eBay has never declared a cash dividend and presently intends to continue this policy.
