TRAFFIC DROPPING ON BAAZEE

[devshoppe]

HI ALL!
ON SUCH A BIG WEBSITE WHERE MILLIONS OF PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN LOADED ONLY 180+ ITEMS ARE HOT...SOME OF THESE R HOT DUE TO FAKE BUYERS TOO.
THERE IS A SUDDEN DROP IN TRAFFIC ON BAAZEE.
ANY COMMENTS?

I totally agree with devshoppe, Sales have definately taken a back seat and new listings too have DROPPED.This kind of sudden drop was never expected specially after the merger between BAAZEE-EBAY.

Hi
I am very much agree with this. The Entire Sale is Down from the Last few Days & the Auctions are closing at a very low price, and it seems to be very dificult to be continue for a long time, if the situation remains same. Since we r the super sellers & our last week's sale is just a single product. I think The Bazzee is planning for their own revenues, not thinking for the sellers. We think the situation will improve after the merger with ebay but the things r getting worst.

Yes, we too have noticed a sudden drop in the visits, bids and subsequent sales of our products.Hope this trend reverses soon!

I agree that Traffic on bazee is dropping, as I myself have now reduced buying products from baazee.

My view is that baazee is in favour of seller & sellers are also not happy with this website. It means there is really something wring with baazee.

Please comment

Baazee is always focusing on getting new Visitors on its site all the time and here are some specific initiatives undertaken as a part of our Strategy.


Portal Alliances: Baazee has tied up with Big Portal sites like Yahoo India , MSN India and Sify.com as and Advertising and/or Shopping/Auction partner to attract new users . The integration is in progress and very soon you will see more users getting diverted from these sites to Baazee.com

This program will help us grow and get new members/websites as an advertising partner thereby helping them make money and in the process get us new Users.

The Baazee AD comes as a Sponsored Link in Google India for a the relevant Keyword. For eg: when a visitor Searches for a keyword “auction” on Google India , he can see the Baazee Sponsored Link displayed on the Right hand side of the Search Result page .

“I also look forward to suggestions / ideas from you on how to grow the traffic to Baazee.”

I fully agree to Devshoppe the traffic has dropped this might be because that baazee define bid increment has stopped many sellers to list high value or even medium value product on baazee as it i not possubl to recover price including heavy EL fees.And one paisa no reserve is main feature of baazee.It is not only important to get the traffic but there should be more attractive offers also to retain the traffic.Baazee should reconsder on the issue.

dear piyush ji,
hi! well...b4 planning anything to get new visitors,u should do something to satisfy the older ones.Ur policies r b'coming worst day by day, both for sellers as well as buyers.One more thing , at present there is almost 500% increase in workload...we have to relist items again & again + inbetween some of listings remain unlisted due to human errors(i.e while manually relisting ,we loose some inbetween)& due to all this some listings apperar even 4-5 times , whereas some never come again on this site.
so,better u work on winning the trust of present users,otherwise one unsatisfied user(buyer or seller),will spoil 10 more & effect in negative publicity...hope u understand the logic now

Well I think a newspaper ad campaign should be launched or a tv campaign. Baazee has been advertising in the papers inviting sellers to sell and make money but not buyers.
