I cannot see why Programme Monthly should refuse your advert.
They accept adverts for auctions, fairs, dealers lists / catalogues all of which are in competition with them. |
That's true in a sense , but these would be private sellers rather than professional sellers. I just wonder if offering a free service to advertise on line would be met with much joy ? Also , if you offering a cheap/free website then how are you going to pay for an advert in PM ? |

There is a small advertising budget available, so a few paid ads here and there isn't a problem. Long term (even though I hate them), I may have to include the Google Ad sense ads on the page to ensure things stay free for sellers and buyers alike. I will keep them off as long as humanly possible.
The site has had over 1000 visits in 24 hours
This bodes really well for the poularity, and increased Google ranking. I am not naive enough to think this volume will continue at this rate, but its a great start.
The equation is simple to make sure sellers get the best out of it - the more hits, the higher the google ranking. The higher the google ranking, the more searches on football programmes it tops. The more it tops, the more interested visitors hit the site.
A special thanks to people who have already been listing. Hope it has been intuitive and simple enough for you to do.
Cheers

I advertise in PM and it costs me about £5/month for wordage only @ 8p/word. Can't see any reason at all why they would turn down another ad - they need the money like anyone else.
Any chance of an "other memorabilia" tag on your new website for people like me? |

I totally agree. This sounds like a professional enterprise. |

Quick question for you Mark.
What is likely to happen at the end of the 60 days if there is no sale ?
Its been great so far, and I hope more FPC members embrace your project. |

Good question. The ad will be set as inactive after the 60 days and no longer show up. You can re-list from your dashboard. The idea is, I want to make sure the site has up-to-date and relevant items for sale. We have all done it where you have sold an item, but either not deleted, or marked as sold. This is pretty much a catch all to make sure they get cleared out.
There is nothing more frustrating than getting lots of people on the site but the items are out of date, or sold
You will get an email letting you know if/when any ads have expired so you don't have to keep loggin in to check.
You may well win the prize for the most active lister!
I understand this won't be for everyone, but hopefully the fact its free will tempt a few of the undecided. Nothing to lose, right?!
Cheers

Hi Pete. I have added Other Memoribilia with sub categories autographs, badges, photographs and others. Please let me know if you want any further subcategories so you can categorise these items further.
Thanks for the info re PM. I am looking into it.
Cheers

Thanks Mark, I've created an account & Dashboard, now need to do an ad which I'll try later. I may need your help as I'm not very IT savvy!
Cheers! |

Looks good Mark. Have registered on the site and will list a few items soon and see how it goes. Hope it's a great success although it is very difficult to compete with eBay. |

Just to let you know another forum member tried a similar site a few years ago and it didnt make it.
Looking at the site it looks good, but youve just copied ebays categories, no dealers or dealers websites sets there categories like ebays, ie League and Cup go together except Semis and Finals (& maybe minor Cups), also like ebay you have no Europa League.
Also why have you launched a site but put nothing on it????? |

Hi, thanks for your points. The categories are based on those on eBay as it appears to be what people are used to - no point re-inventing the wheel. I will happily add Europa League categories. With regard to the dealers lists, I have added a new page which will be a portfolio of dealers websites. Before I put it live, i need anyone to drop me a message with their website address and a little bit of info on their site. This will feature a live thumbnail picture of their site for more exposure. Not sure if this is what you meant, but its ready to go.
As to why i set it up with nothing to list...I saw people were asking if there was an alternative to eBay and decided i would set something up. Its a medium for people to sell, not for me to sell.
Cheers
