eBid June Newsletter 6-27-09

Here is most of it.. (from eBid, not me

)

Welcome to our June newsletter. It's been a very busy month for us, so much going on it seems to have flown by in a flash.

In the coming week we will be moving our operations to our new Dallas data centre. In testing we're seeing over 250% improvement in page load times for our US users and over 200% for the rest of the world.

Moving to the States works out a lot more economical than hosting in London. We are able to host up to 4 times the number of servers in Dallas than in London for the same cost. A much more reliable 24hr data centre support will see a faster and more reliable eBid very shortly.

We will also see an end to our us.three/four/nine/ten.ebid.net URLs. From the changeover everything will be www.ebid.net or uk.ebid.net and so on.

At the same time as installing and setting up everything in Dallas we've started work on building the newly designed site. Our design company finished work about 2 weeks ago and we have taken receipt of the final proofs. These will now be built into our templates over the coming weeks.

Our apologies for the late arrival of the Ninja Lister. I know a lot of you have been asking where it is. Once we have all the bugs licked we will put it up straight away.

We are now up and running with our new system of uploading your items to Google Products. You can expect your items to be showing within a couple of hours now instead of days. You will also see them being sold by your eBid Store or your individual eBid username instead of just a generic "eBid.net".

What? You don't understand what was said or you don't know what Google Products is?

Doesn't currently affect you as you have no Buy Now listings running.

LOL
No clue what it is ...sorry.
I mean I know what Google is but didn't know what Google Product is.

How about "Google Shopping"? Same thing. Also "Google Base", sometimes. If you click on the "shopping" link in Google, where "web", "images", "groups" etc is, you should see it.

Also sometimes called Froogle (though I think that is a defunct name).

Does anyone know what the "schedule" is now for the automatic upload to Google...once a week, every so-many days, etc.???

As soon as you hit submit on your listing, it starts the feed to Google. It will take 2-3 hours most of the time before you see it in Shopping.
