Atlantic Tradeboard Traffic & Contest

Atlantic Tradeboard Contest

In celebration of becomming the highest trafficed trading site for Atlantic, there is a 10 million gold contest running the month of October. Details towards the end of this message.

The Atlantic Tradeboard has the highest traffic out of any other trading site for the Atlantic shard, including Tradespot. Not only does this forum have more active users then the Tradespot, they are almost all Atlantic shard users. Here is a breakdown of the data according to Alexa (lower number is better):

Traffic Rank for hot-guild.com: 92,563
Traffic Rank for cynfamily.com: 464,917
Traffic Rank for onlinegametrader.net: 478,155
Traffic Rank for tradespot.net: 2,797,130

Not only does the HOT website recieve vastly more traffic then our main competitor, we also have a much higher vistor page rating. This is an average of how many pages a person will see when they visit a site:

Page View Average for hot-guild.com Over 3 Months: 32.5 (up 2%)
Page View Average for cynfamily.com Over 3 Months: 5.6 (down 36%)
Page View Average for onlinegametrader.net Over 3 Months: 1.6 (down 53%)
Page View Average for tradespot.net Over 3 Months: 4 (down 25%)

So what does all this mean? It means overall www.hot-guild.com recieves more traffic then www.tradespot.net. That means your listing is viewed by more people and has a better chance of getting noticed. On top of that we offer features which Tradespot doesn't:
  • Listings & ICQ viewable by unregistered users
  • Post your listings for gold or cash, we don't care
  • Undercut anyone's price all you want
  • No moderators/admins gaining an unfair advantage through special color listings or sticking them at the top of the page
  • People can reply to ask questions or add comments
  • Your listing can show up on other pages, not just the Tradeboard Index
That last one is a big one! Sometimes you are just reading a topic and suddenly notice someone selling something. It has happened to me a couple times now and is very convienent. There are plan to expand this feature in the future to further increase listing exposure.

There is just no reason why you shouldn't be posting your stuff for sale on the Atlantic Tradeboard, so go get started!

On top of all the above, the montly Atlantic Tradeboard contest is returning! This time there is a total of 10 Million Gold in prizes. The grand prize winner will recieve 5 Million Gold. Five first prize winners will recieve 1 million gold each. To enter the contest simply post a list on the Atlantic Tradeboard. Each listing counts as one entry. Enter as many times as you wish, but make sure your previous listing scrolls off the front page before re-listing.

Re: Atlantic Tradeboard Traffic & Contest

Hot boards are very entertaining as well... and Link I switched to firefox and lost my password somehow. When I tried to get a new one it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Re: Atlantic Tradeboard Traffic & Contest

Could you be a little more specific then it didn't work? Did you get a confirmation page saying an email was sent? Did you check your bulk/spam folder to make sure it didn't end up in there?
