Are you pairing only 2 people for an auction?


Yes, that's the idea. In the event that another user is not available at the time a user joins an auction, that user is paired up with a bot.


I doubt you connect users at all. With bots you can control your cash flow.


Why limit to only 2 people?


No reason really - 'cept to study one-on-one auctions.


Are you trying to "study" auctions or make money? You need to be more explicit about the goals of your site and as other people suggested: hire a designer.

Another really bizarre aspect of your site is the use of Adsense. If this is supposed to be a real business why attempt to make some small pocket change off Adsense? It's really quite confusing.

These things all add up to make you seem untrustworthy. 3 things to do:

1. Clarify your purpose. 2. Clean up the design. 3. Get rid of Adsense.

Unless you're a content site that is living off ads it makes no sense to have Adsense. Given that you're running a gambling site, the inclusion of Adsense just makes it seem even more obvious that you have this naive get rich quick ambition.


4. Move it out of the jurisdiction of Costa Rica... no?
