Most people will be familiar with the television auction sites that offer quality goods for telephone bidders, it's a popular concept that has now made its way onto the internet and you'll find a wide range of different auction sites online all offering bidders the chance to win high value items with low value bids.<br /><br />Participating in an auction site can be a thrilling experience as you are essentially competing against many other bidders in a war of nerves. Who will be the final bidder? Can you hold your nerve until the very end and beat the others? Will you walk away with your prize? Many participants in auction sites love the thrill of the game as well as the chance to win an item at a huge discount - often up to 90% off the recommended retail price! All you need to do is register with the site (this is usually free) and then you either buy your bids or tokens, or you simply start bidding with real cash straightaway!</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Types of Auction Sites<br /><br />There are straightforward auction sites that offer an item for a low price and invite people to place bids before the time runs out. The winner is the one who placed the highest bid before the auction ended. These are sometimes referred to as English Auctions.<br /><br />Dutch auctions have the opposite principle. The price starts at the recommended retail price and is then gradually lowered until a bidder finally snaps it up.<br /><br />Penny auctions work by bids raising the price by a penny each time. The timer is set and each time a bid is placed, a few seconds are added onto the timer so the winning bid is usually the last person who got their bid in just before the timer runs out.<br /><br />There are other variations of online auction sites but the above are the main three and most common types.<br /><br />How to Win on Auction Sites<br /><br />There are strategies that you can use to win auctions as well as relying on pure luck of course! The strategy used most often is to wait until an auction is at its final stages before placing your bid. In the case of penny auctions, bidders need to remember that seconds are added onto the timer each time a bid is placed, which gives competitors the chance to outbid you, therefore the longer you leave it the better. This is the exciting part of an auction site and also a test of your nerves!<br /><br />Other strategies involve using the services of a bid butler who will place bids automatically on your behalf, however part of the fun of auction sites is the thrill of the gamble which bid butlers obviously take away. By far the best bidding tip is to bid wisely. Set an amount and stick with it and always try to go for items you know you have a fair chance of winning.<br /><br />Most of all remember how ever much you would like to, it is unlikely that you will win every auction so try and get a feel for the ones you won't win and bow out gracefully.<br /><br /><br />Article Source: Oliver Brand<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11590561938983295861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034483108537322566.post-21343656643088092202012-05-09T09:22:00.000-07:002012-07-10T09:24:41.249-07:00Hot Deals Online<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most amazing thing about online shopping is the range of deals that are now available to anyone who logs on.<br /><br />Before the advent of the internet, the chance of getting a discount voucher or price reduction on the product that you wanted to buy, at the time you wanted to acquire it, was relatively slim. But now, as the purchasing power of the customer becomes stronger than ever before, deals and discounts are available on almost anything you want to buy.<br /><br />With access to retailers from almost anywhere in the world, the competition to achieve the final sale has never been higher, and when buying branded goods which can't be differentiated on quality, the only true way of separating one retailer from the other is on price, which means the end buyer can now take advantage of some amazing bargains.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Whether the price comes down or the added extras create value you just can't put a price on, it now seems almost crazy to pay full price for anything online.<br /><br />The original concept behind the internet was to share information, and in doing so in the retail market buyers are coming together and combining their purchasing power to further drive down prices to almost ridiculous levels. Thanks to the advent of online penny auctions, like minded people can unite across the globe to drive down prices to a level never previously seen and enjoy discounts and offers that would not be available without the indispensable shopping tool that the internet has become.<br /><br />Though we all want to ensure we obtain a quality product when we make any purchase, there is no need to pay more than you need to, and by shopping around online you can ensure that you get the best possible product at the best possible price.<br /><br />But when you are a looking at hot deals that you think may be too good to be true, there are a few simple checks you can make to ensure that you are not exposing yourself to any unnecessary risk.<br /><br />As with shopping on a high street, it is always best to shop with a recognised or known retailer that you can trust. If you are shopping on a site for the first time, check to ensure that the web page is secure and where possible use UK registered sites that are more likely to have payment protection services should something go wrong.<br /><br />Consider setting up a Paypal account or paying with credit cards that provide further customer protection and always check out online reviews, social networking sites or comments on the site you wish to use to find out whether there has been any feedback from other customers in the past.<br /><br />Once you are confident that the site you have chosen is genuine then you just have to sit back and enjoy and discover a new way of shopping that can provide access to a range of goods and services that may never have been open to you before at a price that you can easily afford.<br /><br /><br />Article Source: Oliver Brand<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11590561938983295861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034483108537322566.post-89979723206061088542012-05-08T09:04:00.000-07:002012-07-10T09:05:19.521-07:00Selling Your Old Internet Projects<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have ever made a website, the chances are that you have old projects and sites sitting around. It happens. Over time you may have started and stopped numerous times, leaving some sites behind. Having an inactive websites or online business does not mean that it isn't profitable. It just means that you directed your skills and daily attention to more pressing issues and projects. In fact, your old project might become someone else's livelihood. They say one man's garbage can be another man's treasure. That cliché is also true with domains and old URL's.<br /><br />How to sell your website? There is a large industry of reselling online businesses, websites, and domains. One of the most popular ways is to list your site on an auction site. These listing services are very efficient and have a large following of buyers.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a huge demand for websites; listen to the commenters and bidders. You list your domain and supply an outline of information about it. There are sites that allow you to set a reserve price that must be met before an auction sale is final. Setting a buy it now price is also common.<br /><br />Did you do any SEO? If you applied any SEO, your website could be worth some serious cash. Don't forget that Google trusts old domains, so they age similarly to wine. It is best case scenario if your site has been receiving consistent traffic with SEO modifications. This being said, it might not be too late for that. You can do it yourself or find an SEO firm, but there is a lot to be said about a quick on page optimization job. I recommend using search engine results to find SEO experts; it just makes sense. For example, do a search engine search for "seo development" to find an seo development expert. Since SEO isn't done on most websites, it really adds value to your auction. Who knows, maybe your bidding war will begin with discussion on your SEO. Many of the listing services to sell websites have public comments on each site's auction page. This means that potential buyers can ask you questions. This gives a personal element and allows you to go into more detail about your site. Don't worry, these bidders realize that many websites fall to the wayside. They are interested in receiving objective information about whether they should buy your site.<br /><br />Is it worth anything? There isn't a fool proof way to tell exactly what you should list your site for. However, taking the time to research current and past auctions will help you get an idea of the value. Remember, Google trusts old domains with higher rankings. This means that a new blogger's site might only be worth $500, while a basic (and old) golf course website might be worth $10,000. These prices really depend on consistent traffic and backlinks. Make sure you list all of the great things about your website. Avoid being apologetic about past traffic (as it will be visible.) Give an objective perspective and bidders will really trust you. If you catch enough interest, you'll receive comments. As long as your conversation with bidders stays beneficial, you will probably get bids!<br /><br />Was it a business? Turn-key operations are a big ticket item on these websites. There seems to be no shortage of people willing to pay huge amounts of good will, the amount over its appraisal value, for established businesses that are likely to make the money. If you can offer a seamless transition from your ownership to theirs, you have the sale. Even if your business only profited $100, it gives bidders the confidence of "doing it better." They want your old business to make their changes and reap the benefits. Let's face it, those are the perspectives of the bidders.<br /><br />Setting a price. Do a search engine search for "URL appraisal" to get your ballpark valuation. It really pays, however, to do research on your chosen listing service's current and past auctions. A quick search for "sell website" will direct you to several popular auction sites. Comparing your site's stats (given by using a number of those URL appraisals and "Google Webmaster tools") with the stats of auctioned sites will help you get a realistic idea of what you will get for your domain and/or business.<br /><br /><br />Article Source: Jacob A Hines<br /><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11590561938983295861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034483108537322566.post-32063046077049074382012-05-07T09:01:00.000-07:002012-07-10T09:02:39.225-07:00Things That Make You Sales On eBay<div style="text-align: justify;">

I decided to start selling on eBay and the first thing that came to my mind is that I should look for a huge wholesale of several items and then sell them on eBay. This was going to make me a fortune or so I thought. I did not realize one very critical element was missing. What I was missing is the idea that not every product on eBay can make you lot of cash online. The simple answer is that people have different tastes for products that they buy online and the best thing that I should do is to understand what the customer wants and not what I want to sell. The first thing that I should have done first is to know what people want first and then sell to them what they want. I would also need to find out which product is very profitable. This is because there is plenty of competition nowadays on several different niches and so making a good profit margin is difficult.<br /><br />This is where the research part is very important because I would then know which niche to go into and the right price for the product.</div>
