Xoobie.com.au – Another Australian Auction Site
Looking for aAnother Australian auction site to check out, xoobie.com.au.
So, what is it like?
First impression is : What the heck does that name mean?! Xoobie is a wierd one. BUt these days, names for products are either going to be descriptive, or bizarre and hopefully catchy and memorable. What is Xoobie? Its bizarre alright, but catchy and memorable? That depends on how big they get I think…
The site design itself is nice a clean, although I would like to see more evidence of listing and bidding activity on the front page. There is nowhere immediately noticeable that displays the number of listings. You have to browse around to find a few, but quickly realise there aren’t too many yet.
There are a few things I would change. The logo is a little big, you don’t want site visitors to have to keep scrolling pages down to find content. Also, they can probably improve their SEO a little bit with page titles, URLs and internal page link titles, image titles(but the site could be a ‘package’ install that might require some hacking).
In any case, there is over 5,000 pages of content indexed in Google, so they are off to a good start. 730 listings so far.
I wonder how long it would take me to get 730 listings if I started a new auction site? Probably quite a while! But I wouldn’t start a ‘general’ auction site, I think I would do it a little differently…
To the guys at Xoobie, good luck!
