You’ve Got To Act Fast
By Max | April 23, 2007
Check out this listing on Sitepoint, that I just ran across. The site is getting about 5000 uniques per day which is quite a bit of traffic. He claimed $500 in revenue but was not running any CPM ads on the site, which would probably bring this up to $1000 based on the level of traffic he claimed. Unfortunately I missed out on the bidding because the site was quickly sold at the buy it now price of $10,000. In fact it looks like the winning bid was placed within 1 or 2 hours of being listed. The early bird does get the worm I guess. 
My suggestion would be to incorporate Sitepoint ads into your daily (at least) routine. You can add them to your RSS reader, or get them emailed to your normal email account which you check frequently. This will help avoid missing good deals.

It always makes sense to put in a standby bid in these situations in case the first bidder doesn’t come through.
