I posted the identical ad in the classifieds yesterday at the same time, for several 914 LE cars. In the last 24 hours:

540 views on PP: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread....threadid=300091

160 views on 914club: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=59258

A factor of more than 3 times the traffic.

Most of their P-car FS ads show much higher view counts than ours...Any ideas why? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

"They read them 3 times"...I like that... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

The question is not the general popularity of each website based on webrankings or # of users on the website at any one moment. PP is more popular in that respect because they cater to many more models than the 914.

BUT, my two ads are 914 specific, so most people would only open them (and therefore bump that specific view count) if they were interested in 914s. The hit count for each ad is located on the main classified listing for each ad, not at my links to the ad. I think the contrast is interesting, I just don't know why...

Sellers want exposure, and on PP my 914 ad was viewed over 3X as many times.

More ideas?

i don't think that's entirely true. a *lot* of porsche owners are interested in other porsche models as well.
especially a somewhat rare LE is certain to draw some attention from non-914 owners ...

the pool of people to draw from, at any given time, is much larger on PP than it is here.

i disagree with you that only 914 *owners* will look at 914s for sale ...
