The IdeaMarketers bidding system is a unique method we've developed to let you benefit from having your article on our popular home page and channel category pages. (IdeaMarketers has an impressive Alexa ranking of 26,828 and is the longest running article directory on the Web established in December 1998 and still run by the original owner! For 3rd-Party stats go to Quantcast.) Every bidder gets something with our system. Our home page and channel pages are sorted from highest to lowest "bid," then by the date the bid expires, and then by the date the article was submitted. So in essence you get to set your own pricing for what you're willing to pay. Your positioning on the site depends upon how much you've paid (aka bid).
The home page features the top 40 bidders in each of these 2 groups:
Group 1 (left column of home page):
Business, Marketing,
Technology, Finance, Travel and Tourism
Group 2 (middle column of home page):
Education/Nature, Entertainment/News, Home/Family,
Writing/Publishing
and Personal Development/Lifestyle
Choosing a Channel Category
The channel (category) pages are sorted in the same manner as the home page except they only show articles for one particular channel (ex: Business, Marketing, Technology, Finance, etc.)
When you submit an article, you select a category. That category determines your channel. For example any category with LIFE in front of it goes in the Lifestyle/Personal Development Channel. Anything with HOME in front of it goes in the Home/Family/Parenting Channel.
You can edit this category later - even after your bid is placed. We do monitor these, so please do not place your article in a category that it doesn't relate to just to get first page positioning. We'll reroute your article to the proper category and this could affect your positioning.
BONUS EXPOSURE!
) will appear next to your article
AND if you have given a picture URL in your writer profile account, a picture
of you will be featured with your article to make it stand out!
How Long Bids for Promotion Last
All bids last for 1 week, but you may choose to submit a bid for several weeks at a time using our quantity option on our bidding form. For example, you can place a $5 bid to last for 10 weeks for a total of $50. If you bid again on an article you have already bid on before it expires, any time remaining is erased and the bid starts over. For example, if you bid $30 for a spot on September 15th to last 1 week and come back on the 19th and bid $50, your bid in the system will be $50 and the effective start date of your bid will be the 19th.
Can I Bid for Longer than 7 Days?
Yes, you may place a bid for multiple weeks at a time.
How to Bid From within your writer login area, whenever
you add or edit an article, you'll be given the option to bid for placement. There's also a
Bid
for Promotion link at the top of the member menu. When bidding, you'll be shown current bids for top positions
for each category so you have an idea of what the category positions are going
for so you can place an appropriate bid. You'll enter your bid amount, the number of weeks you'd like to bid for, choose whether you'd like the article proofed or not, then press the Calculate button to get a total.
Once you've calculated the total and have the bid the way you want it, scroll down and submit the bid. You'll
then be given a bid confirmation number which you should write down. Then click
the Paypal link and pay for your bid. After your bid is successfully paid for,
you'll be taken to a page where you can put in your unique confirmation number
to activate your placement in the system. Q&A Q. Can
I still post articles for free? A. Of
course you can still post articles for free as you always have! People will
still be able to search the system and find them. The bidding system gives those
who want prominent positioning exposure on our popular home and channel pages.
It's a great marketing tool for those who have back-end products to sell or who are trying to increase their
search engine positioning through prominent placement on our popular site. Q. I placed my bid and paid through Paypal,
but my bid isn't there. This usually happens when, for whatever reason,
Paypal doesn't send you to our confirmation page to enter your confirmation
number. Please give us 2-3 business hours to complete this process and then if
your bid still isn't activated, you may email us at webmaster@ideamarketers.com
. Please note that our home page is on a periodic update so it may take a
little time for your bid to appear. Current Bids Here are the current bids in the system. Notice that you can only bid in whole dollar amounts! Please be
aware that these bids are subject to change. This is a live bidding system. We can't
guarantee that by the time you place your bid that these bids won't have changed.
