I think the real question here is whether Google does anything more to promote your items in search if you pay 11% VS 9%? There is no way to answer that. That being said, I doubt that they do. They just help themselves to an extra 2%. So, your wallet becomes a little lighter, and Google’s becomes a little heavier.

I don’t think any percentage 9 or 11% would help. It looks like the traffic here overall has dropped 90%. Where is everybody????

I just came back to Bonanza a few days ago. I had a booth here a couple years ago and there was alot more traffic then. I think Bonanza now has things geared more toward thier “PRO” membership. It’s a money game just like everything else in life. If you want the traffic and sales, you’ll have to pay for them. The atmosphere here has changed too. I can remember getting on here in the evening and talking with a dozen people. I have been on here a few days and have yet to have 1 person speak to me. I really doubt i’ll be here very long.

I think I have 13, but I don’t think it makes a difference. My views are low, but I don’t do any social media stuff. I think my items are optimized well for Google Shopping, but I haven’t had much luck lately.

No luck here either. People are viewing my items but no sale. They are literally window shopping.

According to my Bonanza page I had 4397 item views this past week. I don’t have Google shopping or anything. I have a Facebook Page and Pinterest, which draw very little of the views. I signed up for 9%, didn’t see any change in views after a couple months, at that time around 3500, so I went back to Google generic from which I get nearly all my views and sales. I only had 26 booth views last week. I have had slow sales, lately. I must say, in all honesty I could work my booth more, but I don’t have the time…nor ambition. ;) The social aspects of Bonanza are probably not as they use to be, due to a large degree on the restructured forums. Now if you want to interact, you have to go looking for people, which may not be a bad idea, since it gets us into other booths.

No difference here.

I don’t think it makes a difference, 3.5%, 6%,9%,13% or 17%. My items don’t show up in google searches at any level. No sales and no views this month..

I too signed up for 13% – and the only way I see a difference in views (most being bots) is to send some items to eBay and usually if I send 5-10 items I get at least one sale. About 10 days ago I sent 6 items and sold one almost immediately. But be prepared to use free shipping.

I can’t get any views either. My items do not show up. It is really bad around here. I am thinking about jumping ship come January.
