I'd choose WP over PH or ASs any day. :blinkie:

I just love sellers who always tell me "you should use this site instead because it's FREE". Yeah. That would work out perfectly if my business plan was to sell NOTHING. Pay nothing, list my stuff, sell nothing, still pay nothing. Fantastic. Sign me up.

Oh, and must not forget that it's NEW! Because NEW FREE sites generate so much more sales than free sites that have over a million listings and some presence established.

I'm going to give ASs members the benefit of the doubt and assume that they're all legally blind and thus were unable to see the stats staring them in the face on the site's home page when they registered. Why would any seller join a site with sales stats like that? : Smile

Why would any seller suggest that other sellers join a site with sales stats like that thinking that site is going to be "competition" for other sites?

Because it's Mo and Ray, and everyone knows they know what they know, as long as you don't know!
Everyone knows how terrific she she did on Plunderhere! Didn't you know?
She was able to get the monthly sales per store from about $5 to $17 in less than a year. Now that's progress. It only proves how great she was since PH is now a ghost town for buyers since her departure.
Now don't you go doubting Mo and Ray again Amy... Happy001

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
