Free Instant Auction Traffic
Here’s an easy way to get extra traffic to your eBay auctions…
…and we all know, the more traffic, the more bids and ultimately, the more sales you’ll get!
First…answer this question:
“Do you look at other people’s feedback ratings?”
You probably answered yes…
So here’s my idea -
“Whenever you leave feedback, put your website URL in the feedback Comment”
If you don’t have a website, no problem, see below for details.
I have only seen this done once! – me.
It’s so easy and EVERYONE looks at feedback ratings before they bid.
So, the idea would be to try and leave feedback for users that get a lot of traffic…
How? – check out eBay pulse and look at some of the highest watched items and try bidding on one of them.
After, you bid and win, leave your feedback with your website URL in your feedback comment.
For example,
**AuctionResourceNetwork.com** – Excellent communication and great eBayer, Highly recommended
You can see how the domain will *jump-out* at the reader.
Also, when you leave feedback for your auction sales, do the same.
Now.., if you don’t have a website, here’s a quick trick on how to direct that traffic to your about me page.
Simply create a free account at NameCheap.com and purchase a domain name, i.e. www.your-domain.com
NameCheap.com only charges $8.88 per year for your domain name!
…then, in your NameCheap.com account, you can set your new domain to redirect to your eBay about me page…here’s how:
Login to your NameCheap.com account
Click the ‘view’ link beside ‘Number of domains in your account’
Click your new domain name
Click URL Forwarding under the Host Management section on the left
Enter your about me page URL in both textboxes and click Save Changes
Viola…you now own a domain that redirects to your about me page!
And make sure you place your new domain name in all your feedback comments.
Ok…now that you know how to get some extra free traffic by using eBay’s feedback comments, answer this question:
“Do you want to know how to turn that extra FREE traffic into cash?”
Yes/No? – Well, I’m going to tell you anyways…
There are a few things you can do…here are 2:
Place your auction links on your AboutMe page so that your new visitors can get to your auctions. Place a newsletter signup form in your AboutMe page as well as in your auction pages and collect leads. Then market to those leads over and over again. I think the second idea is the most powerful…although it takes a little work on your part.
The quick`n`dirty way is to use AWeber.com to manage your leads and use their capture web form generator to capture your lead’s name and email address.
BUT, there are certain rules you must obey in order to collect client information from your auctions pages as well as you about me page.

Website Auction Hub has recently announced the launch of their newly redesigned website featuring the largest collection of established websites, turnkey websites and domain names for sale.

Website Auction Hub features a comfortable forum environment where users can discuss website and domain name auctions from all around the web.

The auctions are categorized in established websites for sale, turnkey websites for sale, for more details visit to www.auction-professional.com and domain names for sale. This list is then presented on the front page so the users can assess the market at a quick glance.
The front page displays auctions as an itemized list with some of the key features highlighted. Users may click on these items to look at the details and to share valuable insight with each other. Since most of the auctions don’t actually take place on Website Auction Hub a truly free speech environment is created where users feel free to discuss all aspects of the website and the actual auction thread can be kept clean for the process of the deal making.

Tips on picking a good domain name
Domain Nameless?
So…you’re feeling like the king of the world! Captain of your universe! Except without a domain, the WWW just calls you “Hey You!” and that doesn’t bode well for business. Well, as a web developer and entrepreneur – perhaps I can help you in your quest to become master of your domain.
Your domain name is an extension of your business, in some cases your domain IS your business. Either way, your first choice should be the name of your business. An important fact to remember is that you are going for brand recognition. You need a name that is unique to your own venture. An important concept to notice is that the popular web sites like eBay and Google didn’t name their web sites auction.com and searchengine.com. Yet, everyone now associates eBay with auction and Google with search-engine. Although, there is an auction.com and a searchengine.com when was that last time you visited either of those?
It is important to brand your business and your web site with a unique name that is all your own. However, there are ways to increase your traffic without compromising recognition. For instance, if your domain name is Splishker.com and you sell rabbits. You could brand your business as Splishker, but also buy rabbits.com and have it point to splishker.com – eventually those people looking for rabbits will start typing in splishker.com because that is how you branded your site. So you don’t need to give up creativity for recognition. You can have your snake and feed it too. Or something to that effect.
So really – in the web world you have a little more leeway than in the brick and mortar world. It would be impossible for a business to change their sign based on what you are looking for as you drive your car down the road. But on the web, you can do just that. So choose the name of your business! Get the domain name! Even if its spixlapat and then hide all of the generic stuff. You see, “A toe’s the same by any other domain name.” Congratulations! You are now the master!
Finding the Right Domain Name for your Business
A domain represents the unique name assigned to an organization or individual on the Internet. For instance, we are all familiar with names such as google.com, microsoft.com, and so on. A particular name (domain) may only be owned by one person or company. To use an analogy, a domain represents your “street address” where you live on the Internet. It uniquely identifies where you can be found. Having a straight-forward, easy to remember domain is crucial to your business success.
The domain name is comprised of several parts. The last part of the domain (e.g., .com) is referred to as the top-level domain (TLD). In theory, the TLD represents a type of entity. For instance, .com stands for “commercial”. It was originally meant to be for commercial enterprises (business), but that has become something of a misnomer as even people with personal websites use the .com TLD.
Other popular TLDs include:
> .net – originally meant to signify Network organizations such as Internet Service Providers (ISP)
> .edu – Education establishments (colleges/universities)
> .mil – Military
> .org – Non-profit organizations
> .gov – Government organizations
> .biz – a business
> .name – individual/person
> .info – information service
There are others as well such as: .aero, .pro, .coop, and so on. In addition, there are TLDs assigned to countries (e.g., .ca for Canada).
Before you can launch your site on the Web, you will need a domain name. There are literally hundreds of millions of domains already taken so you may have to be creative in finding the name you want. It can be frustrating at times, so brew yourself a pot of coffee or grab your favorite beverage before you sit down to find that special domain that will become your address on the Web.
Several months ago, I was attempting to acquire a domain for a customer. I tried just about every combination of his actual business name to find one that was available. As is becoming much too common, I ran into a brick wall. Out of sheer frustration, I just randomly pounded my fingers on my keyboard and came up with sdfsdfsdf.com. I submitted that to the domain search. You probably know the punch line. To my total amazement that name was already taken. At that point, I decided I needed to take a walk around my garden.
But there is no way around it. If you plan to put your own site on the web, you will need to identify an available domain. Once you do so, you should purchase that name immediately as it may not be available the next day. If the name you want is already taken, you will have to find a different one. For instance, if you wanted the domain CandlesForSale.com, that is already taken. However, the name CandlesForSale.biz is available (as of the date this article was written). You could select the .biz name, or try to find an alternate such as Candles4sale.com, candles4u.com, candlesonline.com, and so on. All of those of course, are taken. By trying the different combinations you would find that candles-forsale.com is (currently) available.
It is much easier to find available domains ending in .biz,. info, and so on. The major problem with using any of these is that people are just inherently conditioned to type in the .com extension after the business name. If you did register the candlesforsale.biz name mentioned above, it is quite likely that people surfing the Web would type in candlesforsale.com instead. That of course, would lead to a competitor, which is not what you want to do.
Selecting just the right (available) domain name for your business can be a frustrating process, but it is important to get it right. Many people I have spoken to don’t seem to realize that your domain name is part of your branding; it represents who you are on the web. In many cases, the domain name is the first piece of information a potential customer may have about your business. Your domain name is every bit as important as the logo you put on your business card. If all else fails, check some of the domain auction sites to see if there is a good match available. You will have to pay more than normal, but in the long run, it may just be worth it.
Be creative, stay patient, and don’t break your keyboard as you go through this process.
