Some friends set up an auction site. <snip>

How can our site get more clicks?
The sellers can use many method to receive money,such as e-gold,moneybookers,paypal and so on.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Huofo!

Please note we do not allow member URL drops here as per our TOS.

The main problem is you're competing against the hugest of the huge - eBay.

To get people to use you, rather than them, you're going to need some kind of unique selling point - something that sets you apart and says you're different.

A straight copy is simply a waste of time.

I have a friend who set up an auction where the lowest bidder wins and people bid using tehir mobile phones through sending SMS txt .

His challenge is traffic too.

Plus he had to take th site down a little while while he acquired an auctioneers licence.

With an auction site you need to have loads of people bidding. otherwise the items will never sell.

It's a catch 22, buyers attract sellers and sellers attract buyers.

Try and auction of something so strange that it gets media attention.
