Free Auction Sites ... worth it for the publicity??

I'm trying to promote my business and was thinking about posting a bunch of stuff on free auction sites. I doubt they would sell but it would give me a chance to put my business link on there. Is it worth the trouble though. How much traffic goes to those sites like webidz and ibid? Is one person a day going to click on my site. I don't think it's worth posting 200 items to get one click a day. What does everyone else think?

Perhaps you should start with a few items and see how it goes. I did sell some things on webidz, but it was very slow and there is not a lot of traffic. The good part is that it free and you don't have those darn fees ebay sticks you with, but it's harder to move merchandise. I would put a few items up on the the different sites and see if they sell and to see if the site is professional and honest. Good luck!

You may not be getting much of a response, but will anything bad happen? I don't think so. I say you might as well do it.
