Getting more Flippa Hits?

I would say promote it on the featured category but that is it is not a start up site. I checked the auction and there is alread a $1 bid which makes it almost impossible for you to edit the auction again.

It is unfortunate but start up sites are not selling at flippa at the moment. It will be better if you promote the site a little and make it earn some money here and there and then relist it for sale.

Most importantly, don't give up just yet. Your first shot at something may not go as planned but that does not mean you are a failure. Rememer failure is never final.

Nicely written auction.

First thing I spotted - you have just over 2 hours remaining and 2 pending bids. In the last few hours of your auction you MUST be attentive to reply to any questions, accept bids etc. Bear in mind if anyone bids within the last 4 hours it will be extended by 4 hours. You can't expect to sell a site if you're not being attentive - displays poor signals to buyers.

On startup sites you should always set a BIN price. Pick a price you are comfortable with - $197 would be about right for this site. This is an essential call to action. Otherwise you are losing impulse sales to buyers who like your site but don't want to wait X days.

A lot of my sites sell at the last minute, you just have to be patient. How many watchers do you have?

Startup still and always will sell all the time. Just check out the "just sold" section: Website and Domain Name Listings Just Sold | Flippa - there just happens to be a lot more competition these days.

If you want to get more traffic to your auction the easiest way is with a featured listing. It costs $29 but I use it everytime and swear by it. People might argue that if you are selling a startup site it isn't worth it - but this simply isn't true. Think about it another way: if 5x as many people see your listings (rough average of Featured vs Non-featured) - do you think you will make an extra $29 per auction? (covering the fee). Of course you will! You need as many eyes as possible on your listing.

I would change the tags of your auction (you can do that when there are bids already). Make it: adsense - blog - website for sale

If you had an affiliate product you were promoting I'd change blog for affiliate.

Hope that helps, these tags are searched a lot in flippa.

Using a featured listing increased my views dramatically. Well worth the money

For a startup site 3 days is fine - especially if it runs over the weekend. If your 3 days won't cover a weekend, then run it for 7 days. 30 days is simple too long to list a startup site for. It is important to keep a consistent cashflow with startup sites to make it a viable business model.

Be careful on the PM'ing other users. This could be considered as spam by Flippa and could have you suspended if you PM the wrong person and they report you.

Front page - agreed.

Regarding posting your auction on other forums - be careful with this too as it is against Flippa TOS to list your site for sale elsewhere (can anyone say monopoly power ), so technically you can't do this. Used to be a common tactic on DP until they recently stopped people direct linking to Flippa auctions.

One way round the TOS issue: Post a site for sale on DP for example, give all the details from your Flippa listing, but don't disclose the URL (ask them to PM you for it). That way when they get in touch you can send them to your Flippa auction - keeping them and you happy

Always feature it. With an auction copy like yours I would expect at the very least 15 watchers and nearer 25 on average.

Thanks for all your help guys I used these tips to list my site :-)

If you check out the signature you will see the listing. Just wondered what you guys think of it and how much you think I can realistically expect for this site as I have never sold on Flippa before?

It is a genuine site with real clients and its making real money every month (£875/month).

Any tips/help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.
