Bonanzle a raising star
Ba
ck in October Google announced changes to be to their Shopping search engine “Froogle”. As you know I sell on several of the online sties. The top four being eCrater, Amazon, Bonanzle and yes….eBay. Up until October my sales on eCrater were about the same as on eBay, close to 30% of my total sales. Amazon came in a strong second and Bonanzle last.
eBay and Amazon are such huge Brands that you would think the changes Google made would not impact them but I find that it did. At least it was clearly evident with eBay and eCrater. The traffic and sales now generated in eBay represents only 15% of my sales each month. The change could had impacted my overall sales a great deal. Surprisingly, the difference in sales was made-up through the leads generated by Bonanzle. Bonanzle was one of the first sites to announce its full compliance with Google’s changes. For what I have seen its working and doing well for me. Help yourself and Drive traffic to your estore and other marketplaces placing Free ads.
Are you offering your items through Bonanzle? Have you experienced a decline in traffic from any of the sites since Google made changes?

Thanks, if you know of any other sites sending good leads let me know. Would love for you to share your insider info, as you have been in the retail business as well. Thanks for checking in
I have tried selling on eBay some stuff two months ago. It was my first selling experience with eBay and it was very negative. I wasn’t able to sell a thing but had to pay ebay for listing about 100 pounds (which I didn’t and had account suspended).
I think that google’s Froogle soon will start banning results from other shopping carts.
If google is entering the auction market, then I think it will be hard for companies like eBay, eCrater and Amazon to appear in top results of SERPs.
I have heard that Bonanzle is trying to be the simplest marketplace online, with an upbeat community that makes buying and selling fun again. But still there are no results.
I know that Bonanzle marketplace is now conducting its first seller survey. The motto of Bonanzle is “everything but the ordinary.”
I’ve been looking for Froogle on web, but unfortunately it isn’t working for the moment, google is just testing the beta version so we’ll have to wait.
