below are some helpful tips for Buyers to make best use of our website.
Research the competition
To gain an understanding of how much competition there is for each keyword/phrase through various ad networks and agencies use the free keyword tool at SpyFu.com.
Search results return the average cost per click, number of advertisers, average clicks per day and the average pay per click advertising cost per day for a given keyword or phrase.
Focus on targeted sites
You should be looking to attract targeted traffic from websites relating to your niche. Aim for sites within your general category. If you are having trouble finding the perfect website aim for one which may be less targeted but with relatively high traffic to compensate.
Take details into consideration
Prior to making any commitments read all terms and conditions of the listing in detail. Weigh up the considerations carefully because you cannot retract any bids.
Ask questions
When unsure about something contained within a listing or if you wish to know more details feel free to ask the Seller a question (public or private).
Do some research
Be sure to view the Seller's Reputation Rating and comments to get a picture of their trustworthiness and reliability. Check the listing's analytics (if provided) to see if they meet your needs. Use the Domaintools.com Whois Lookup tool to gain more information about a domain.
Confirm the owner
If you are in doubt as to the Seller's identity, prior to placing any bids or submitting payment ask the Seller to upload the Bidswamp Banner on the Ad Space up for auction linking to their auction page, this is to confirm they have control over the website.
Have your banner ready
If you make a commitment to purchase Ad Space make sure your banner is ready for placement within the required time. If you are unsure whether your banner will be completed in time, ask the Seller if they are willing to extend the time of ad placement before placing any bids. Generally sellers are flexible in this regard.
Look for verified Sellers
Sellers who have a Verified Seller seal displayed beside their username means they have undertaken our verification process.
A Verified Seller means the Seller has completed a transaction with us using their credit card or PayPal Account.
Payment methods
Be sure that you are equipped to handle any payment method required by the Seller prior to placing any bids.
