No, I think the hike in visitors is because I have been writing for MakeUseOf.com and I had asked a few people to drop by and visit! So they did!

Hi Ellie, Hi Hyder,

Always love your plugin posts Ellie

Is your hike in visitors today related to using this plugin? As they mention on their site to send visitors…

Just wonder how that works and how much you really get?

Thanks,

Mark,

I presume you mean “3rd party” as in letting other people sell stuff via “your” blog using the plugin. Well that really was not the intent of this plugin as it is more or less geared towards letting individual bloggers host their own auctions.

But if you have the traffic and find people interested to host their auctions on your blog, I assume you can grab a listing fee of some sort. This would probably help them market their products to an audience they might not have.

There is no automated system for handling that though. It would have to be manually listed for the 3rd party, by you.

That, I don't know, Mark, but Hyder should be here soon to answer you! Ellie's last blog post: Review: WP Auctions Gold

Hey, that’s a pretty neat plug-in. I like how you can get a RSS feed generated for the auction.

One question though – when you show 3rd party auctions, do you get a commission from the sale? I mean, you’re helping to sell the item so you should really get something for it…
