Today I want to talk about making money on the web. As is the custom, You should know that over 50% of our income can be directly attributed to sales made because of our Intenet marketing efforts, but I am not a pro blogger and spend much of my time doing real work. Today I interviewed a blogger who remains nameless and is very secretive. Blavish has been blogging for two years and is making some money from the web, he won’t tell me how much but he does nothing else so I assume it’s enough.

1. You are unable to see the goods you are bidding on at Bid or Buy. You are reliant on the honesty of the seller.

2. If you are unhappy with the service of the supplier and you negatively rate them, they will revenge rate you. Bid or Buy management have no problem with this concept

3. The ratings system is poor and is no indication of the real quality of the seller. Many people give positive ratings else they get tit for tat poor ratings. Bid or Buy management benefit from this bad rating system

4. If you complain vociferously about the poor systems at Bid or Buy they will just Ban you. If you are not in the forums you cannot scare off other potential buyers.

5. Its an auction where you can be bidding on an item made to look good in theory but a poor quality item may be despatched. In the time in the forums and on Bid or Buy I saw many complaints poorly handled.

7. Many of the sellers are unethical. Seriously they resort to blackmail in order to get positive ratings.

If you want to attend an online auction like Bid or Buy you are taking huge risks. Real life auctions where you can touch and feel the goods are a risk, but buying an article from some faceless individual with no real come back. Is that not a real risk?

I paid for a membership at Bid or Buy and enjoyed it for two weeks after being banned because I was less than complimentary about their systems. I am going to warn everybody about the dangers of bidding on items at Bid or Buy.

Making Money from Bid or Buy

Bid or Buy has a flawed rating system

I advertise Bid or Buy through offerforge. The statistics from the offerforge show me that Bid or Buy is gaining great exposure but I gain buggerall in return. From 2130 impressions of the advert I had a 21% click through rate, thats a whopping 450 click throughs with nary a registration.

Is the Bid or Buy affiliate system also flawed. Statistics tell me that a buy in rate of 2% is expected. So 0 out of 450 leads me to believe there must be a problem.
