RE: featured plus poor results

[coastwindchimes]

Hi, I used to use featured plus once in a while a long time ago, and was always fairly pleased with the increase in traffic. But now I tried it the other night, and so far am very surprised by the lack of traffic.

In fact, some of my store listings are getting as much traffic, which is to say almost none. I have tried changing the category twice, with no improvment yet. Has any body else tried featured plus recently with better results, or know of any tricks to increase traffic? Tim.

I have used featured plus 2 0r 3 times, and I don't think it was worth it.
Home page featured was a good way to increase traffic on the .ca site, but that is now gone, and I tried it once on .com and was not impressed.
With the home page featured on .ca I would list things and get double what they didn't sell for as a buy it now listing. Example an older used laptop computer I once had as buy it now for $199 US did not sell, put it on home page and got $390 US for it. I wish that option was still available because usually no more than 50 people on the whole .ca site would use it at any one time = tons of exposure, lots of hits, and lots of bids.

The home page featured on .com is well used and there are way too many items there so when I did use it, I maybe got $10.00 more than I would have listing it regularly. Not exactly worth the I think it is $40.00 or something for that feature.

I use bold sometimes and that seems to help, its only $1.00 and I tend to get 20%-30% more. Other than that I notice very little difference with other add ons.
