Interesting. It seems like, if you had more traffic, it would work better. You have the typical chicken/egg problem of a marketplace: just not enough matching.

Interesting. It seems like, if you had more traffic, it would work better. You have the typical chicken/egg problem of a marketplace: just not enough matching. The same problem dating sites have.
One possible approach: limit your site, to only 1 university, or only 1 topic (law or something). That might increase that match rate.
- noahc 15y agoThe other problem is that one university might call it PS101 and the other one PS1001 and they might use the same book, but he would never know.
- sixtofour 15y agoAllow listing by text book, as an alternative to course number.
- meric 15y agoGood point; I shouldn't done some maths before I started. I thought by hiding how many users this website has, new users won't be daunted by the lack of other users. But no. Limiting my site will only serve to decrease traffic, I think this might be counter productive. I'll think of ways I can increase traffic further cheaply.
