What are deal sites and how do they help vendors or customers? To get the answer, just look at the below scenario.

Vendors Issue:

A vendor launches a new product and he wants to create an awareness about his product. He launches a discount drive – Free trials, deeply discounted prices, etc. But his problem is still not solved. How can he pass this information to prospective customers? Customers will come to the vendor once they know about the offer. But advestising campaigns are just too expensive.

Customer's issue:

A customer always wants best deals for her spend. Obviously, best deals are not always available. As a customer, she wins when she comes to know about some vendor who is providing products/services at a deep discount. But how will she know the vendors who provide such deals?

Solution:

A deal site comes into picture in such a scenario. It provides an advertisement campaign to vendors at a low price (Sometimes free also) and a single window interface to customers to know the deals available at any point of time. Thus, deal sites form a bridge between vendors and customers.

http://GiveBestDeal.Com is a user contributed deal information site where vendors can directly create an advertisement for his product/service (provided some sort of deal is applicable to customers). Customers can use this as a one-stop-shop to know aout all the deals running at a time.

Barry Bonds has been much maligned for unsubstantiated rumors about steroid use but what he's done speaks for itself. He has been the greatest hitter of all time. When you look at the combination of what he's done over a long period of time and his incredible peak level (2001 through 2004) you see a player that is only challenged by Babe Ruth & Ted Williams.

While Bonds plays during an era clouded with steroid accusations one must remember that the pitchers are just as guilty if not more so! Things always equal out in that way.

Bonds is the all time leader in Home Runs, Walks, Intentional Walks, Runs, Times on Base, Power/Speed #, & Runs Created. He's also in the top 10 in RBIs, OBP, SLG, OPS, OPS+, AB/HR, and Total Bases.

Barry Bonds is also the all time leader with 7 MVPs. Second place? 3.

Keep up with all things Barry Bonds at the MLB Blog – Big Show Baseball.

Pro Audio Forum Goers Weigh In: Sellers Feel that Auction Sites are Far Too Greedy. One Member Seeks Revenge.

Sellers are often revolted after receiving their bill for selling items on popular online auction sites. According to ProAux.com President Gordon Brinton, anger and resentment toward those big sites can run deep, particularly among the Pro Audio community. His findings come from seeing many years of discussion and debate in audio related forums over where to sell gear. He puts into plain words what exactly led him to start up his free audio equipment auction site, “We just needed a place to buy, sell, and trade our audio gear without feeling like we’re being fleeced and without a bunch of doll babies and jewelry getting in the way.” Gordon has generously opened his site to the Pro Audio community and is allowing them to buy and sell, (auction style,) completely free of charge.

A live sound engineer, home studio owner, and all around audiophile, Gordon has certainly had his share of auctioning used equipment. He speaks for many when he says he is fed up with soaring End-of-Auction, Listing, and Reserve fees. On some auction sites it is possible to run up fees of over $50 just by selling a single item.

Gordon has decided to fight back by giving away auction space to anyone who wants it. All standard auction business is on-the-house regardless of whether you are buying, selling, or trading. In fact, the only way to generate a fee at ProAux.com is to specify that your listings be given special treatment. Web Address: http://www.proaux.com

Web directories are now in great abundance and run the gamut from general web directories like Yahoo and the Open Directory Project to highly specialized niche directories that may only target specific websites. General directories may contain a variety of categories from art to finance, while niche directories may only categorize pet websites, for example. Some charge for inclusion, but the vast majority are free. While search engines have taken the place of web directories as the tool surfers use to locate websites, webmasters have discovered their usefulness for Search Engine Optimization.

Noble Directory is a human edited, spam free and well promoted paid web directory providing nice strong backlinks to the submitters. The directory at present has 700+ sub-categories within 29 main categories. And the number of categories will be increased soon so that the link submitter gets a link deep into the correct category which is related to the submitted site.The submitter pays for a review of the site, not only for a backlink. It is already listing many authority sites and other quality sites in many categories. The directory is soon planning to provide in-content links through articles in related categories. There is also a web directory blog with directory owners discussing something related to directories.
