Somebody shoot this thing and put it out of its Misery.

  • I don't understand the question. The numbers are the traffic ranks. They mean that that many sites out there receive more daily traffic. For example, only Yahoo has more traffic than MSN. Naxcom and Beckett have long been duking it out for #1 hobby site, Naxcom made a big announcement about it earlier in the year when they dropped down to 7800 or so and passed Beckett, but they have since again fallen behind.

    Meanwhile I have quietly put together my site and yes, LOL if you want, it is nipping at their heals. And yes, I am hiring writers, and yes I am buying cards, and yes I do have a television show in production, called THE BULLPEN hosted by Olymplic Gold Medalist Amanda Freed. Teaser trailer will go up on my site sometime in January.





    << <i>You want to be more visited, not less.


    LOL ok I can agree on that. Then what the hell do those numbers beside each mean then? and if they are meaningless then why did you post them?




    I guess I know more about cards then the internet.

    please clarify

    Thanks >>

    So what you're saying is that there are 22k sites ahead of you and 70k ahead of PSA?

    If that is indeed the case I applaud your company.

    Steve

    edit to add: does this mean the 500.00 advance is forthcoming?

    Good for you.

    <<< Again, foolish because the guy who does actually own that card lives down the street from me here in Newport Beach, and there is no PSA 10 of that issue. >>>

    No 10's of the Wagner? Well gooolly. Newport Beach heh...with the neighbors owning Wagners...you must be one of them rich folk by making tons of money off your website from all them hits and orders.
  • Yes, as of today's date that is exactly what Alexa (a division of Amazon.com and the defacto standard of internet traffic) is saying.

    ... and I thank you for your kind words.
  • Newport is becoming a little hotbed of the sports industry. Kobe and Karl Malone live around the corner from me, as does Malone's agent who is a big rare coin guy as well. Mark McGwire lives the other way from me (in Irvine though) and PSA's offices are just up the street from ours. As I understand it Reggie Jackson has an office somewhere in Newport as do a bunch of other sports agents, though their names escape me.

    If you've never been you should visit. Cute little town.

    <<< If I send you some free cards >>>

    Free cards? Yes! Hey - I'll take 'em if winpitcher doesn't want them. What do ya got? Anything good?
  • I have probably over a million. What are you looking for? Though as someone so eloquently pointed out above, the cards we have are probably less appealing to the people who frequent the PSA boards as they are more modern, with greater appeal to non-sports fans, newer collectors, kids, etc. Nothing of significant value outside of my personal stash... and those you can't have, sorry.

    I am doing a free giveaway to anyone who opens an account right now, get a free eTopps 2004 baseball team card. Nice cards, limited to 2500 for the most part, encased and factory sealed. Seriously, sign up or PM me with your address and I'll sent you one free.


  • << <i>Seriously, I'm tired. If I send you some free cards will you just let this thread die? >>


    So first you come begging for PSA 10's, now you're offering free cards?

    Are you gonna give us POH PEOPLE some charity???

  • Just did this tool's alexa search:

    Traffic Rank for psacard.com: 89,388 th

    Traffic Rank for thebullpen.com: 159,230 th


    Looks like thebullpen.com is REALLY lagging.......

    image
  • That's the trailing 3 month average. Look at today's rank, this week, etc. We were barely online 3 months ago.
  • Just when I think I'm out, they pull me right back in. I am going to go back to "begging" for PSA10's... no free cards for you.
  • I think I'll go stand outside Joe Orlando's office with a sign:

    "WILL WORK FOR PSA 10's"


  • << <i>.....and yes I do have a television show in production, called THE BULLPEN hosted by Olymplic Gold Medalist Amanda Freed. Teaser trailer will go up on my site sometime in January. >>



    What - Ken Goldin and Don West aren't available?
    Sorry, but without the Powerhouse Duo of Collecting I am not watching!

    Amanda Freed, for those interested.

    Bull you should have known better then to come here touting BS numbers.

    Steve

    edit to add: You have now LOST all credibility. Not that you had much to begin with.


    Good for you.
  • Oh Steve, the numbers are solid, the people I'm telling them too.... that's where you'll find your BS.

  • You sure you want to do business with me? According the the genius who 20 minutes ago couldn't figure out that 20k was a lower number than 70k i've lost all credibility.




    << <i>I have roughly 60 extra PSA 10's, 1978 Topps baseball, mostly commons. What are you offering? >>

  • Then you should seek some serious psychological help.



    << <i>I want Yogi Berra, not Amanda Freed. >>

  • As long as your money spends the same then we might have a deal.
  • Why don't you look it up for yourself and tell me? The number he's referring to is three months old. I am talking about today.

    1: If there are more people going to your site than they are here, then why do you think the traffic is being generated from here?

    2: It's not too hard to fool Alexa's rankings. Just search for "tricking Alexa" on Yahoo or Google, and you'll see all kinds of ways to do it. So forgive me if I'm all that impressed. Content is more important to me than a silly ranking, and from what I saw on your site, just about everything is a link to another site (beckett, etc.).
    Who is Rober Maris?
  • I am sure that's true, you can trick anything. There are a million games you can play with Google to get to the top of the search engine. I don't know about Alexa, just what they are reporting. As for site traffic, I can see exactly what point of entry someone entered my site, and where they left to and PSA tops the list right now.

    Finally, you are right most of the current content is in link form, but so is the Drudge Report and its one of the top on the web. We are hiring a number of writers to contribute original stuff now to complement it. Frankly though, there is already a lot of good stuff out there and the main purpose of THE BULLPEN is to organize it in a better manner for the user.... the gateway to the hobby if you will.
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    and PSA tops the list right now.


    Of course it does we want to see what exactly you are BS about.

    and if that is the case then you are condradicting yourself.

    If most of the traffic is coming from here and PSA is 50.000 sites under you what exactly does that tell you?


    Steve
    Good for you.
  • it tells me that I also ran almost a million impressions on google adsense over the past week and a lot more traffic is coming in from all over the place in small amounts in addition to a block of traffic from psacard.com.
  • ...and just when this thing should have finally slowed down and died the thread gets moved to a whole new audience.


  • << <i>...and just when this thing should have finally slowed down and died the thread gets moved to a whole new audience. >>


    By the way, you're a LIAR for saying that I pulled my data from 3M ago. I pulled it this afternoon, AFTER you quoted your fictitious numbers.

    If your website is so spectacular and profitable (ha!), leave us alone over here in the smokey abyss known as psacard.com

    Ciao.
