Im at 50 today but yeah, i'm usually deep in the red for sw hits. And no sw hits are not worth it unless you want to price a couple to draw in visitors. Most of my shop wiz hits are from stuff inflated. so 50 means probably 50 items inflated lol. But then again, there's also those who bookmark my shop via the shop wiz and when they return, it'll get counted as SW hits if their bookmark includes the SW obj link in the url

I am new to this kind of stuff as well.

I'm almost always in the red on sw hits too :P I think it's because a few select main mallers, my malls petpet shop inclusive, wiz price insanely. How they can keep up with a shop like that is beyond me. ___________ [color=gray]Kirsty, aka evil super mod[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, restocker Silverdragon siggy stealer Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]

Im always in the green but I price my items by the SSW and I dont overprice at all

I am not a huge shop like yours, so I have to be more competitive to get the traffic. I get very few hits from my mall. Most hits come from the SW and about 15% from bookmarks. I think if you are satisfied with the amount of sales and traffic you have then you don't need to reprice. IF you reprice more items to be competitive on the SW then you should be picking up a lot of new traffic. But that would translate to more sales and more restocking...

[quote=supre_drake]I'm talking about the top 30 shops, not everyone else's smaller shops - I understand the theory of wiz prices there. Obviously the top 30 shops are all big shops like mine :P Thanks dmitri and kirsty :)[/quote] Ok, first off, that just about pissed me off. For a while there I was in the top 15 shops all the time. I ended up having RL commitments that cut my time down to one day a weekend. Secondly, assumptions are the mother of all f-ups. Don't assume just because someone has a "smaller" shop, they cant be in the "Top 30". That in itself DEMANDS an apology. Sorry D, but that isn't even right, way too f'n elitist.

Yea im usually surprised to see how high the ssw # can be on top 30 :P I price a couple things *close* to ssw and 1 item pretty much AT ssw (main codestones). Sometimes people come in through the main codestone and then buy a couple more. Overall, not a huge effect on sales... except for 1 day, a week ago? One person came in through the main codestone and bought out ALLLL my codestones (about 400 of them, all priced about 40% over ssw :P) That made it ALL worth it :D

The point Kara is making (I think) is the people who are in the top 30 everyday without having to be there from wiz hits alone. People who are getting the majority of their hits daily from the mall and from hut placement etc. Thats simply a fact, 99% of the top 30 are main market shops, the ones that aren't are either on top ad or heavily wiz priced. ___________ [color=gray]Kirsty, aka evil super mod[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, restocker Silverdragon siggy stealer Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]
