Erm, how about you save your bloomin spam for another forum. That site looks like it was put together by my granny and is about as much use as a choclate bash hat. Evil or Very Mad

Come on G you dont think he is interested in joining the site do you? He blatently runs that great website and wanted some people to visit and give him a tenner Smile

Actually... he probably could make more money with just a 'donate me a tenner, I'm in need website, spammed around the interenet' Smile

Hmm... now, actually... there's a good idea Razz

You may also want to run a spell check on some of the text on your site -

So how many unique visitors does your site get? How many people will see my ad for my £10? How can you say that I'll get calls about it the first day I post it?

£15.00 for 2 weeks on bike trader, and i sold the bike withing hours.

Your site has very little content, free ads is the way to go, then £2.50 (ish) for priority ads or some shit like that, then when you progress start charging.

Can you prove that? You'll have to watch out, autotrader is a big company, That could be considered libel. So is Emap.
Lord Emap can afford to sue you with the change thats down the back of his sofa!

How come their mag is in every newsagent or supermarket?

I've never heard of your site until today.

Please. Its not worth getting into an argument on here about it, especially with 'facts' that could be considered for legal action Shocked

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Maybe they do lie about circulation, maybe they don't.

I know they haven't worked for everyone, but biketrader did for me.

It also seems a bit cheeky to only advertise the bikes for 28 days when it's a purely online service.

Also.. from what I can see, your site's been up for at least 10 ten days and has had an average of, to be kind, say 80 unique views a day. That is, in internet terms, a very low amount to justify charging £10 for.

Oh, and a suggestion... get your self listed on some search engines.

Not only does searching for 'buy bikes' not return any results, but searching for 'bikebuyers' doesn't produce your site.
Are you intending to attract people to your site by other means than spam?

Biketrader online does work i have sold 2 bikes within 3 hours on there and bought 2 bikes which were both mint.

I've sold 2 bikes on biketrader, the first one took 4 days and the second took 10 days.

I got about 30-40% more than they were worth both times.

Oh and this was back when they did the special offer, where you got 2 weeks for £15 on the website.
