Poll: Who is to blame for sellers leaving Wagglepop en masse?

He's just screwing around. I'm sure of it. He thinks it's funny / cute / original / fun to get a rise out of people.

It's just a word for word repeat of WP-1.

zzzzzzzzzzz

WEBSITE TRAFFIC SECRETS OF THE PROS: THE TRUE DOMINO EFFECT
Banning deepriverman statistically proven to improve website traffic

Two sites that have banned DRM are showing a clear domino effect in their traffic patterns as these sites' traffic surges, overwhelming all naysayers in its path!

Alexa 1-week stats 9/8
powersellersunite.com 26,929
tuliptools.com 78,355

Alexa today stats 9/8
powersellersunite.com 30,691
tuliptools.com 72,708

Traffic to one site that has failed to ban DRM is sinking fast and the site owner who failed to ban deepriverman may soon be forced to rename the site FLOUNDER.COM!

Alexa 1-week stats 9/8
wagglepop.com 89,435

Alexa today stats 9/8
wagglepop.com N/A (not even in the top 100,000)

The statistics clearly prove that the owners of PSU and TT did what the wise do! Those two site owners have seen the light!

NOT banning him will most definitely shut you down as a forum. Tongue

Happy...NOT Wagglepop campers.

WP's Karen attempting to explain why the site has done no advertising:

Quote:The revenue we are generating just barely covers immediate operating expense as noted above, but we have glaring upgrade needs which, as we address them, will likely put us back to expensing more monthly than we generate from the site in terms of fees.

Additional staffing costs money. Programming for the multiple new feature requests costs money. Staffing. Training. Equipment. They all cost money, and that's not even including the compensation payable which has already been deferred, or any recuperation of invested capital...

We've outlined it, and said it time and again. We have a plan in place, and while some of it is dependent on increased revenues for conventional advertsing, much of it is bold, innovative, and unconventional.

We are not a large corporation with near unlimited funds for advertising...

Sellers respond with complaints of few sales and low traffic:

Quote:I will give my store a few more months and then call it quits. I have been checking my items also and the only watcher for them is me. I feel that "I am invisible" to the shopper. If they don't know I am here, how can they buy my merchandise?...something seems to "not quite be right". I don't know what it is. There appears to be no attempt by the management to advertise THEIR SITE...

Quote:It's even hard to find any mention of wagglepop on google other then the direct link. Buyers find my auctions immediately through google for the Y or E, but nothing for waggle.

It's just not worth my time right now or money...

Quote:I'm just like some others here, no sales, no one has even looked at my items here...

Quote:Not only am I not selling, no one is looking. I didn't expect much, but the only hits I'm getting are from me checking to see if anyone has even stopped by to look. I'm going to give it some more time, but something has to start clicking in the next couple of months, or this is just another waste of time.

Quote:First let me say...We have 2 stores here, well over 300 listing going and not 1 sale...

Quote:I'd also like to point out that there are many examples right here on this thread that are causing people to have second thoughts about Wagglepop. If we can't even open our mouths and ask a reasonable, business question without being attacked - yes attacked by the masses, then that's just ridiculous. I've been watching all the boards on this site and am appalled at the lack of common courtesy I've noted from this so-called "community".

This is more like the elitists. ugh.

$10,000/mo and we can't even have a clue about when advertising going to happen? give me a break...

Quote:No Business will survive with just word of mouth!...

I have been faithfully on this site, doing my part, for 1 month now. I have been monitoring my Counters, and it is shocking to see no visitors, at all! YES... I am probably the most patiented person on earth, but still and yet, Sellers DO budget, and cannot rely on their other businesses to support another business. My WP Store has got to support its self, bottom line! ~ I know Keywords, Prices, and all the stuff to get sales! But with all these things, nothing will happen if, there is no exposure!...

Quote:I'm a bit confused If we are hitting 2007 goals, then I assume WP had plans financially to sustain itself to then. But seeing how the numbers are way ahead of schedule and virtually self-sustaining already, I'm confused where all that other life sustaining capital went that was going to be used to sustain the company for a year...

Honestly, I'm confused by what exactly is the plan. Because I have a website already that comes with a full shooping cart for free, and it costs only 16.00 bucks. Granted that is more than 9.99 but no FVFs...

The reason people pay to be on a auction venue is that it is supposed to increase traffic to ones listings. If the projected time frame for advertising is 6 months or a year, well, why wouldn't I or anyone spend that time promoting our own site?...

If the philosphy is the 9.99 is for space until some undefined time. And it's the sellers job to pull all the buyers that would buy from them no matter where they were located then that is a bad plan. Simply because I can post to froogle already, I can send customers to my own site. I can and anybody else can for free (plus web hosting) set up the a E-commerce site with froogle feeds....
