It's time to tweak the WSO section
With the change in ownership of the forum, it seems to me to be the perfect time to tweak the WSO section; especially now that the price has been cut in half down to $20.
I believe the reduction in price will spur even more bumps and new WSOs, both good and not so good in quality. IMO, it will further clog the system. Whether it means an increase or decrease in overall revenue for the owners won't be known until changes have been in effect for awhile.
But there is something that can be done to the WSO section that I think will be a very positive thing.
I would suggest having the WSO section "decentralized" or broken up into subsections according to the IM category of the topic that the product or service being sold would fall under. So, for instance, the WSO section might have the following single topic subsections:
Don't pooh pooh the idea because you get hung up on how many categories there should be or what they should include - those things can be worked out and tweaked over time.
Some might say "I like browsing through all the WSOs." Great. Just do it one category at a time - the same number of WSOs will still be available.
By lumping "same topic" offers together, it will be easier to compare and contrast the various offers showing up in a category.
The advantage I see in doing this is that the churn of the categories would all be slowed down giving the sellers more time before a bump was needed. Sellers in the less popular categories would have to bump less often. It would help the buyers as well because they wouldn't have to wade through so many WSOs that held no interest for them.
I am against trying to develop and enforce a quality threshhold or ranking - not because I like low quality offers - but simply because quality is a subjective label and I see this exercise being a real nightmare to judge and enforce.
Let's make good use of this transition time to make the WForum even better!
The best to all of you,
Steve

- MMO (make money opportunities)
- SEO, linking
- PPC, CPA
- PLR
- graphics, images
- web sites, themes
- ebooks, reports, Kindle
- affilate systems
- list building
- online services, coaching
- yada, yada, yada
