Hey Folks,
For the past two years I have been doing internet sales for a friend of mine's auto salvage yard. We were asked to sell his engines on an ebayStore. The url is
www.product-solutions.net.
This has worked pretty well at the current 2 cents per item per month listing fee, but ebay has since gotten greedy and will start charging 10 cents at the end of august.
We are in the works of designing our own website.
I am looking for all options to generate solid traffic, and leave ebay completely.
Things were fine on ebay, we run 6800 items, we were getting nearly 6000 hits per day doing no extra advertisement except froogle and google base.
Then ebay changed the promotion of stores, we struggled to get 1000 hits per day, now we are seeing 1600 per day but its not worth the money.
Our product is used automotive parts from a salvage yard.
I remember seeing a website a year or so ago that would submit classified ads to thousands of physical newspapers for a fee around 700 dollars. Do any of you folks know what site this was, and if it is even worth it to go this route?
My second question would be this. My goal for this site, is to get at least 10,000 hits per day. Is this an obtainable goal, or am I just dreaming?
Thanks to everyone,
Justin
