eBay Sucks – Other Auction Alternatives

After the “Why eBay Sucks) – Here’s the list of other bidding websites.

Amazon - Everyone knows this site, I won’t have to explain much. They pay you every 15th and at the end of the month via a direct deposit to your bank. I alos read an article that Amazon is projected to get more hits during the holiday season than Ebay. Good for Amazon !

Overstock - They have surprisingly introduced an auction portion of there site to compete with Ebay I believe it’s working slowly.

Ebid - An Ebay alternative that has been in-the-making for quite some time and they are always improving and expanding locations/territories served.

Auctionaddict - At first seemed to be a dinky site that wanted to fight Ebay but they seem to be filling out in content , since the last time I checked them out.

Ubid - Another great site like Ebid only I beleive they have been in the game longer and their site looks very sleek very worth checking out !

1) The more outbound links I have on my website & articles , the better my page rank will be ?

Answer>> No this is not true , in certain cases if you have nothing but “link farms” and no real content Google may actually penalize you for it thinking it’s spam.

2) The more affiliates I have the better?

Answer>> Yes & No , This question is tough to answer because this is more about preference. Pointing to a website with low-PageRank may be considered a “leak” of PageRank “juice”.

Answer>> Yes
