Amazon’s Endless Clone - zeeDive - RSS Auction Feeds - SEO Tools - FireFox - Google KeyWords - eBay Top Sellers
Amazon’s announcement of its new shoe and handbag site, Endless.com, is about much more than shoes. Listen in as I examine what I believe the real story is and what it means for on-line selling in general.
Launched by an award winning veteran of Electronic Arts, the new auction site zeeDive debuts with a very interesting and entertaining approach to auction selling. Listen in as I interview zeeDive CEO Eric Metens.
Speaking of Amazon, a simple affiliate site shows us that there is a very powerful way of driving traffic that is almost impossible to resist.
Have you considered placing an RSS feed of your eBay Store or Overstock auctions in the most obvious place of all? Probably not..
Free SEO Tools offers a great FireFox extension that gives you everything you need right where you need it most when searching your competition.
Google has liberated their KeyWord tool so that its now easier than ever for anyone to fine tune not only their web site but also their auction titles….and if you’re not using it, you’re missing out on a lot of free traffic for your auctions.
Collaborating your marketing efforts using a common web site is one way for you and like-minded sellers to compete more effectively on-line….and there’s a site that proves an excellent example of how it might work.
A site featuring eBay top sellers by feedback & category is, of course, tempting…but if you understand what you’re seeing and what it means, then there are tools to make that information pay.
