Adbuddy Referrals Auctions

There has been a few changes to the prices and conditions lately as the larger paid to read programs compete for business - Clix Media drastically reducing prices and Bux.to allowing for smaller buys. Now Adbuddy who were not selling referrals are entering the fray with an auction system:

We've been getting lots of questions about purchasing unreferred AdBuddy.Net members. To answer everyone's question, "YES" we will be selling unreferred members. :) We're going to go about it a little differently though, and we think you'll like it. Instead of offering a fixed price for a block of unreferred members, we're going to be auctioning them off. Yep, AdBuddy.Net auctions! We're currently hard at work creating a light weight auction system within the AdBuddy.Net "My Account" area. We should be done with it by the end of this week, and ready to launch by early next week. Here are some highlights of the new referral purchase system:

1. The system will be auctioned based.


2. All referrals put up for auction will be "Active" site members.


3. We will NEVER sell referrals with 0 (zero) clicks (like some other sites).


4. We will provide real-time click data reports for each block of referrals we put up for auction.


5. We will provide "Sign-Up", "Last-Login", and "Last-Ad-Viewed" date information for each referral being sold.


6. Referrals' usernames will remain "private" until auction is over, at which time the referrals will be linked to the auction winner (once payment is made by auction winner).

I like the idea that referrals will all be "Active" site members. One of the problems with other sites has been that very often amongst referrals bought could be a big block of inactive users. Look to the Adbux forums for discussion on this issue. I guess there are going to be some people very busy right now getting their spreadsheets ready for the auctions to come!
