Quote:We have been handing out flyers about Wagglepop in our town and surrounding towns.. OMG! Did they shave their heads, too? Talk about hitching your wagon to a sinking ship, or having blind faith in someone who can (and has) close their doors on a whim. Sheesh! |

Quote:he has been putting flyers in all the rest stops he comes to, to help promote this site.. How appropriate. Now people can stare at a Wagglepoop flyer on the stall wall while they're taking a dump.

Great point, Bloodhound. No better laxative than a good dose of bunny-hopping Waggle gospel.

Some are naive and know no better since it sounds good and they like what they see. It can be for any one of a multitude of reasons, but mostly for the wrong reason. |

Quote:Ray must have a short memory if he's using a button with "buy it now". I know BBH told him in November 2004 that eBay had trademarked the term for use on auction sites. Or, he just forgot to change the button and terminology after porting eBay's pages over to his new system. Heh. p.s. is this real? Or did one of you guys write this as a joke?

Frankly, I couldn't care less if these wakkos wanna be a cult. There's freedom of religion in this country. JUST DON'T GO PARADING AROUND LIKE YOU'RE A LEGIT E-COMMERCE SITE, you frickin', bunny-bullet, goose-stepping, Kumbayatic hypocrites! At least the Krishnas and Johovah's Witnesses don't pretend to be something they're not.

Wagglepop has pulled out the sleazy misleading statistics trick as a way to justify not advertising.
To illustrate the trick they're using, here are the Alexa stats for a couple of our sites. Both sites are accessible by more than one domain name site A (both domains are the same site): tulipsandbears.co.uk 29,100 tulipsandbears.com 375,000 site B (both domains are the same site): tuliptools.com 74,700 boinktard.com (not in top 5 mill) If you use the 2nd domain in both of the above examples it would appear that neither site has any traffic. Wagglepop is using this same trick with stats it is showing its members for eBay Express. All of the links on the eBay site and on the eBay Express site, and all of the traffic, for eBay Express use the URL www.express.ebay.com. WP however is showing its members the Alexa figures for the seldom used ebayexpress.com forwarding URL (same site as www.express.ebay.com but vastly different Alexa numbers). WP is nowhere near the eBay Express website in terms of traffic, but by using this flaw in the Alexa system that assigns multiple traffic ranks to the same site if the site has more than one URL pointing to it, WP is misleading its members into falsely thinking WP's traffic is beating eBay Express. The figures Karen WP is quoting below are for the seldom used ebayexpress.com forwarding URL not for the real URL www.express.ebay.com karen wp Wrote:According to today's Alexa Traffic Rank (lower is better): karen wp Wrote:From our perspective, while eBay continues to spend *millions* of dollars on conventional advertising for eBay Express (print, TV, radio, etc.), the numbers we've referred to today clearly show that you cannot create demand with advertising; you can only reinforce it. L.S.O.S.B.
