Pressbox (Press Release) -
More and more people are listing incredibly bizarre auction items. From chicken dung and toasted sandwiches to a giant orange dot made of 149,225 pixels.
People are spending large amounts buying totally bizarre items off auctions sites.
The casino that paid $28,000 for a 10 year old toasted sandwich, were they hungry? No, they did not buy the sandwich because they wanted the item, what they were buying was publicity.
These bizarre items can create media frenzy when auctioned; from appearing in local newspapers to as far as national, and even international television.
WorldFirstAuctions.com for the first time brings it all together. Specialists in bizarre auctions they seek out media attention for their auctions, this is to the benefit of their buyers. One off auctions can create a massive traffic surge which soon dies down after the excitement. WorldFirstAuctions.com is different they create a constant traffic flow for each of their auction winners.
How is this done? WorldFirstAuctions.com places the winning bidder’s banner permanently above the item on the item page. On the front page of the site there are various links to the item pages including an index featuring all of the items and a just sold section which highlights recent sales. A banner displays on the sites main page which rotates through all of the winning bidder’s banners.
Winning bidders have a one of advertising cost, which is the cost of the item they purchase.
Search Engine traffic is expensive to buy and usually charged per click. If a competitive product is being advertised, even paying $1 per click will not give top results.
Auctions are different, they can be listed for a small one time fee and they always give greater exposure as the auction is ending.
Auctions can yield hundreds of thousands of clicks, all from quality traffic that is responsive and ready to buy.
Each auction held by WorldFirstAuctions.com increases traffic to the WFA site where it is shared amongst the winners of previous auctions.
The orange dot auction which is currently being held at EBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9532678362 is the first of many auctions planned by WorldFirstAuctions.com. An orange dot tee-shirt is expected out next week for site enthusiasts to buy.
