In my case it was word of mouth, social sharing, and the good graces of Google. Each individual user is simply worth too little to make a paid marketing strategy viable.
With the traffic I had, I did a lot of A/B testing to maximise conversions.
- Exuma 9y agoHow do you handle scraping the products, do you just fetch all new products once per day? Or do you fetch them all in real time as the user searches
- wriggler 9y agoEverything is done with real time calls to the eBay API. eBay's catalogue is too large to make it realistic to fetch it as a whole and, anyway, as far as I remember they don't offer a data dump (it's been a long time since I checked). Luckily, eBay's API is very fast, but I also worked hard to keep the total response time of my code within a reasonable range.
- Exuma 9y agoAh interesting, that makes sense. Thanks
