Quote:Nothing better than FREE SEO. Even if WP was free you might not get any SEO benefits for a looooooong time. WP only has 2 pages indexed by Google (both of which are in the supplemental results not the main search results) and 2 pages indexed in Yahoo (one of which is a bad link). Google PageRank of 0.

Methinks it'll prolly stay there, too. Not much of a rush to list from anyone.... My guess is he's decided to charge fees to try to keep the folks out with 50,000 items to list with a push of one button. Obviously, folks do not trust the situation -- or him -- so they're lurking, not listing. There are now 21 stores as I speak...only 3 more than last night. I would guess that auctions will not fly. Those who list will prolly only do 30-day fixed price. I know Ray was before my time, but why would I PAY to list on a brand spankin' new site . . . that comes complete with baggage? That's a good way to put it! ![]() |

I realized the SEO may not be there for some time to come BBH.
I was making the point about FREE SEO from others feeds. I think I'm sill listed on a dozen or so of all those FREE sites that popped up after the fee increase. Once in a while I'll even get a stray sale from some of them. ![]() With WP I was thinking more of the people who will end up just showing up because of word of mouth. But the more I think about it. No need to be a wagglepopper. Got it going on with out it so far.

Altho it wouldn't surprise me if more stores were opened as a domino effect. You know...the 'well, since everyone else is doing it...' syndrome. Might take a while, but it might happen. Sales? Who knows.

Quote:There are now 21 stores That's 21 stores more than there would be if people would take their heads out of their...... um . Why spend a minimum of $9.95 monthly to open a store on a site with no traffic when the stores won't even be included in the main site search? Nobody is going to see those stores. If you want to spend $9.95 open a web site where you'll get more traffic than you will in a WP store.

I can't believe anybody would even consider joining WP again after everything we saw, heard and went through the first time around. It's mind blowing to say the least

RE: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
I couldn't resist. The Kool-Aid was flowing too strongly. I posted the A. B. part of BBH's post #66 on the WP thread at SRG and added a C. "Ray Lied about deleting everyone'spersonal info last year" and a link to the auctionbytes story. I'll probably be burned at the stake because earlier in that thread someone called the WP 2 doubters a bunch of 'whiners and complainers who were jealous of anyone who did anything' //groan//
The reaction everywhere--except the SRG thread-- is apathy. The loudest Popper cheerleaders from WP 1 seem to be sitting it out. There are more stores from the SRG members on WP 2 than from the Popper Class of 2005. Angel Wrote:I can't believe anybody would even consider joining WP again after everything we saw, heard and went through the first time around. From the SRG thread, I got the feeling that half were unaware of last year (the other half were aware but returning anyways). I don't think most of those people are aware that there are 100s of similar alternative sites--or even that Amazon offers auctions. Last year's crop had little knowledge of the world outside eBay before flocking to FAS in January either. |

Here's the latest from the Stores thread, with the Whois info following. Very interesting, unless RR just wanted to protect his privacy... but why pick this group?
