Bidding Directories Minimum Bid Amount

Discussion in 'Directories' started by syted, Jun 28, 2007.

    I was hoping to keep my minimum bid on bidforplacement to $1 working on the theory, more submissions received, more chance of increased bids. But this week I've received so many $1 spammy, under construction, gambling, etc. I've upped my price to $5. Seems word's got around that these are cheap backlinks. Have other bid directory owners had the same experience?

    Zorg Links is PR0, so i feel nobody would submit if it was more than $1. but when i get (hopefully) pr4 or pr5, it will rise a lot. to $10 or $15 :)

    because like me, he has spent over $2000 promoting/gaining backlinks. so sensible people know they are paying $1 for what become a PR4 link.

    because i have been promoting and spending $$$$ on it

    this will get minimum 5

    as for me adding bids i can provide proof of each and every bid made on this website

    and i`m sure mikey1090 can confirm his bids for zorg links are also valid

    my bids are 100% valid, except for 3 sites that i added at $1 for free, to help fill categories.

    $400+ is the revenue from my PR0 bidding directory now :)

    I see, thanks for the input,

    but from pr 0 jump to pr 5, it is kind of difficult i have to say, but maybe, who knows, wish you luck anyway. :-P

    when you spend $2000+ buying links, working hard, you can easily get PR5.

    I have been getting alot of gambling sites in particular this week and last but as a few above have said i just delete and refund. I already charge a bit more than most because my bid directory is in £ (min bid £1) and not $ so its $2 really.. but it still doesnt stop the bad submissions. It is easy enough to refund the bad sites.
