Some of you have horses and horse products that you are marketing from your website. Auctions if done right can lead more people to your website and more traffic leads to more sales.
Many smart business people use auctions to help herd more people to their websites. But you do need to read and follow the auction site’s rules carefully and stay within them.
One of the ways that I have found myself lead from the auction site to the lister’s site is through their “about me” page on the auction site or from the listing sales copy itself. They listed their website address and the fact that I could find more info there about their products and how the product works. If the auction site doesn’t allow live links you can just leave off the beginning part of the link (http:// and www.) and put in a simple text address like this: horse-logos.com Of course you want it to flow with the listing sales copy like the following examples…
You can find more info about this product at horse-logos.com. There you will also find free articles and free e-reports to help you increase your knowledge on this product and how to achieve the best results with it.

I have also been lead to view the auction lister’s website through them posting their website address in their logo image and even in the product image. In your product image, near the bottom you can add the text: copyright by yoursite.com visit for free info sheets.
You can always try to get them to visit after the sale by posting your website address in your thank you for buying email with a good reason they should visit — free article, etc…
Some smart business people sell cheap information products (e-reports, ebooks, audio files) on the auctions site (some listings starting at only a penny) and then send an email to their customers with a link to their download page on their website that has info or a great offer about their other products.
With a little thought and work you can use auction sites to round up more traffic for your web site.
If you already are doing any of the tips and know any more I would love for you to leave a comment. Thanks!
P.S. Don’t forget to add a few live clickable links to your web site in any of your information products you sell/auction or give away. You want to keep driving people back to your website. And it never hurt to tempt them with a sweet offering — like $ off their next purchase.

A highly recommended site is elfingo.com for online auctions. They are the new ebay. Many smaller sites like this offer buyers far better deals than ebay ever could. Buyser also save a ton because this site charges little or nothing depending on the day. One more reaso I like elfingo.com is because they don’t take a part of the sale at all. No commissions or final value fees. A+++ elfingo.com
Thanks for the info. I’m currently writing a ebook about buying and selling horses and I’ll be sure to add a link to Equine-Bay.com.
Thanks again
