New Bid66 Coupon Code

Last week Bid66 ran a promotion on Facebook for a coupon code to their site. The Bid66 Facebook page asked their current fans to spread the word about their Facebook page. Once their fan page reached 100 Facebook "likes," Bid66 would release a new promo code. Their fan page reached their goal yesterday and just released the coupon code: FACEBOOK100.

The coupon code: FACEBOOK100 is worth 5 free bids and expires in 6 days on 10/31/11. This is a value of $2.50. However, items on Bid66 usually sell for around $0.10-$0.60 so you can gain even more savings.

To enter the coupon code just go to http://www.bid66.com and login. On the right side of the home page click on the gray button "Promotion Code." Then just enter FACEBOOK100 for your 5 free bids.

BidRivals Focusing More on Europe and Australia - Less on US

The online penny auction site BidRivals is shifting their business away from the United States and creating a larger focus on the European and Australian markets. BidRivals will still have auctions for the US but will have much more for Europe and Australia. The penny auction site also will be ending their affiliate program with 3rd party sites in the US. Their affiliate program ends on October 24th 2011. BidRival's core markets are in Europe and Australia. Only a small percentage of their customers are from the US. By focusing their efforts on their core markets they hope to strengthen their market share in those countries. BidRivals will still remain one of the few global / international penny auction sites. The movement away from the US market just goes to show how competitive the penny auction industry right now. Hundreds and hundreds of penny auction sites have popped up in the last 2 years and 99% of them have gone out of business. Even the larger sites like Swoopo, BidFire, Bidash and BidRodeo are out of business. Sites there are still open (with the exception of Quibids) do still struggle. For example, Pointnbid's auctions usually always end at <$0.25. The owner is most likely losing money every day. The economic recession has drawn people to find better deals, thus turning to the penny auction market. However, if customers are not winning enough, they usually do not return.
