Feedback How to perform MEO (Marketplace Engagement Optimization)

I love the Digital Point marketplace, it's where I spend most of my time.

I list sites for sale from time-to-time and I am trying to figure out how to crack the code for getting my listings shared via email and the homepage.

It seems some of my listings get shared hundreds, if not thousands of times all throughout Digital Point - while others only receive the organic views inside of the marketplace.

I have done a few experiments - and the only thing I can figure out is the more traffic a site has - the more it's shared.

If this is the case, that's a faulty system because a lot of the established sites on DP are using bot generated traffic.

I think it's awesome to have a free marketplace to list websites and domains. However, I think the promotion of threads should be reserved for premium members.

If a member isn't "premium", they can pay $10.00 or so to add their site to the "featured" pool.

You could have an algorithm that only shares websites marked as featured, and then throttle them based on if they have analytics displayed, adsense displayed etc.

The more transparent your listing is, the more times it will be promoted by DP.

I strongly feel that this will put more money in your pocket, because it's adding a HUGE benefit for premium member, that will actually pay for itself. So, that adds value without costing DP anything.

Also, people will absolutely upgrade their listings to "featured" if they feel it's worth it.
Why not spend $10.00 to get a faster sale? I sure would.

Also, the real digital property investors here can jump straight to the featured listing section and get past the lower-quality websites that don't provide much value.

I think this is something you should really consider. Your marketplace is freakin' awesome - but it could be even better.

Also, think about all of the authority sites that would want to blog about a major overhaul like this - it would bring in some natural backlinks as well.

One more thing, I love the affiliate link option you have added to the ebook marketplace. Any chance of integrating that to the sites area?

If I see a high quality site for sale AND the seller has added an affiliate commission percentage - I could refer people to the thread and make a couple bucks if one of my referred users buys the site.

I don't know of any other marketplace that offers an affiliate system like this, so it would be ground breaking.

Let me know your thoughts, I am super excited about the possibility of any of this actually happening.

 

Awesome!

That's exactly the answer I wanted to hear.
