I understand driving traffic but after 2 weeks , signing up for 19 percent advertising I am getting 0 views . Small amount of views I could understand, but 0? As far as I can tell I have all settings correct. Google feed does show some items when searched, Bing says it’s uploaded but I find nothing and Nextag has been saying within 24 hours for 3 or 4 days now? I have many items that are in demand with limited availability across all internet sites.
Is there some setting that I am missing?

For several years same is true for me =pointless have advertising level above 9%. If my items can be found in a general Google search, not worth the higher adertising levels than the 9% that sends to Google Shopping. Bonanza is a pay to play site. I won’t pay to play their game!

I’m sorry Bonanzajon, but you can post those links time and time again and it all comes down to only Bonanza making money – off memberships. We sellers promote out hearts out on all and any social media sites we can find.I’ve even handed out “business cards” at my garage sale! And no matter who I talk to I still get “Bonanza? Never heard of them.” I have compared this site to a real estate agency. You are the broker, we, the sellers, are the listing agents. It is up to the listing agents to bring in customers or real estate listings into the brokers. But even real estate brokers do advertising. There may be a couple sellers here who do well, but the majority of us don’t. Like many, I too just sort of “store” my items on here. I promote but I know damn well nothing is going to sell. There’s no traffic! And adding google traits is impossible if you’re selling collectibles and vintage. This site has SO much potential but you just rely on sellers to bring in the customers. I would be willing to pay higher fees in exchange for more traffic. It’s a very user friendly site, easy to list, communication is good….this place should be taking off. But no one knows it’s out there still (from whom I’ve spoken with). Ok, stepping off my soap box.
