Annoyance - people making my hits in the red!

Disclaimer - I merely need to rant, this isn't aimed at anyone specific, past, present or future people! It seems everyday now someone different is on a mission to run 1np sales on the shop ads board. This down right pisses me off for the following reasons 1 - Often the person would have shit hits otherwise anyway - so stop faking at trying to look a good maller and actually go out there and put effort into making your shop amazing (disclaimer - not always the case with all people who do this) 2 - You are making my hits in the red due to mass clicking of the misc option and other option. I HATE being in the red, red is ugly, I was in the green for everything except sw, (working on that :P) how dare you people who do this make my page have ugly redness :( 3 - Yes I full on admit it, I want a shot at that top spot!!! I refuse to be a hypocrite and run my own sale though! I so needed to get that rant out of my system

Get a bigger shop :P Not much you can do while your shop is that small. Work on increasing your shop size to a market size and then join a mini mall. Exposure will still be crap, but will be significantly better than now.

What so you can not make a profit... probably make a loss, and temporarily have high hits before looking like a complete failure because once you stop the board your hits will stop moving!

[quote]So true on the ssw pricing thing Even when my shops stocked to the max, on a very popular day the most wiz hits i've ever had is around 70 and I thought that crap loads (there are very few items I even deliberately wiz price)[/quote] yeah that's how much i get. usually around 30 - 70. The majority of mine are mall/other, then followed by hut hits and that ranges from 70 to 200, depending on whether i'm in main, or out of main, etc. And i probably wont get rid of topshops, and that's what cloaking is for :P Plus it's really useful. For instance, when i'm having horrible hits, i can check against how others are doing and if they all have lower hits than normal, I can blame neopets or the marketplace for being a slow day,etc On the other hand, if everyone has normal hits, then i know the problem is more local

[quote=kirsty_to_stay]Ugh I see even more up now! I really don't see how it can be earning you all profits, unless there are some good lurkers on those boards. Half the people that actualloy post on the 1np sale boards are just begging, scavenging cheap skates[/quote] I agree kirsty, 1 np sales are buying hits like what happened to Nicann and why she left. Its pretty pointless and its really for ppl who can't make up there own hits because they need 1 np sale advertisement to get it.

Come to Novi Pier Imports

Is it really because she was questioned of her 1NP sales?

The majority of my hits are normally from the wiz. I don't have much luck until very recently when I accidental ended up with a bunch of hut hits. I guess maybe I can handle it because I have to much time on my hands with my work being so slow.

I know this thread is old, but I've found a bit of humour in this. I try to get in a few 1np 'sales' every now and then. Partly because my shop doesn't do as well as (maybe yours, and) it should do. 1np sales make me some easy NP. But also because it draws attention to the mall. Occasionally I'll have a chuckle at how 'yay, I'm at the top of the top shops list' but it's always short lived, and is very obviously not a 'well-to-do' shop with an average of between 15 and 35 hits (outside of the 1np sales times). Also, I've never advertised these sales in the boards. It's all via the wizard. I'd rather have people actually searching for an item buy it and see the shop/banner/mall (thus 1 customer per item), rather than one person in the boards buying up every 1np item in my shop to repeat the process in theirs (and my effort going to waste).

If she is not here, why not ask her? =) She is not here because of her own choice..Let's leave that 1 np thing be..Please. :D
