    I doubt that anyone will bid over $10,000, but time will tell

    I suspected that, so in reality this bid of what is it? 5k could be a bit of a red herring. Let's wait and see perhaps.

    Well since Google is going to be punishing directories that sell links, who the hell is going to want to own a "buy a link" directory.

    Waste of money, too bad cause I liked the site

    Granted, but the high bid of $5,000 is by domainpubber, a member here and also hte member that bought idk.in, so his bid is valid, can't attest to the other ones.

    Wise move selling up, i had the foresight to get out of the whole directory game back when TLA and John Chow got slammed.

    Booby is right - the $5000 is a valid one. The others below that are from reputable members who have accounts on DP and also own other directories.

    The "buy a link" can easily be changed to Link Advertise or simply Advertise which is what I have said all along.

    Bidding Directories should be seen as a source of advertising!

    Wasn't saying anything other than there is always the possibility of false bids if it isn't properly policed. Used to happen a lot with paypal. Good luck to the fool who does bid a stupid amount even if they are a respected member of this community. They'd still be a fool to buy something not worth anything in my eyes, but hey remember this is just my opinion, nothing more.

    Interesting, exactly who or what are you talking about.

    Do you care to elaborate or just post silly remarks without elaboration?

    vicdigi, did you not read the last two response before mine on the post you started? Didn't know I needed to elaborate on that. I was talking about the bidder who paid $5,000 for a site that doesn't even rank #1 on its own name. Go read the two last responses before mine and I hope for your sake you can follow.

    Followed and easily clear what you have written but when saying 'What a Fool' you best state who you are calling a fool and make it clear.

    Its business. I would buy johnchow.com or text-link-ads.com even though they dont rank in google for their own name. With revenue and traffic sites can be worth over $xxx,xxx - so calling someone a fool for bidding on an auction for a good site shows how immature you are....

    Site is no longer fo sale anyway. Its staying where it is...

    While we're on the ZORG subject...will you be updating the ALS on your site? I noticed that they haven't been updated in a while. Many sites still shows 0 for all, eventhough they've bid a while back.

    Sitepoint is a bitch of a place to sell a site, more than half the sites sold result in the buyer not following through. There are some serial offenders but they never get banned.
    It's very hard to find if a bidder has done this before as you can't see what auctions they have made posts in or bid on.

    I have read the reviews about sitepoint. 75% of these site also seem to provide fake traffic stats.

    yes! GOOGLE!! google is already a huge monopolistic company, which can face MRTP cases world wide, and get banned and finish up!!

    This is internet, and google is not the internet, a site which gives traffic, provides sales and conversions, will always be a success, ranking in google dosenot matters!!
    cheers!
