How often do you expire your deals?
I just went through my list of deals and expired any of my deals that were least a month old and no longer valid. Does anyone else do this? How often do you do this?
Thanks for doing that!
Every day....doesn't everyone....lol.
Seriously...We are here anyway. It is not hard and saves the mods work.
Almost every day, with exceptions to the weekend.
I often think about leaving mine for provide fellow users the opportunity to raise their tattle score.....buuuut if I'm honest with myself, I have to admit that this is just a foolish excuse for laziness as there are plenty of expired deals out there...
When someone posts a question like this or why people don't expire their deals. I'm easily manipulated like that.
@thunderthighs: Hah! :)
I try to keep up with mine, expiring them as soon as I notice that they've expired. I don't think it would be very nice of me to leave an expired post up there for others to see, then they get disappointed, and I wouldn't want that
If I know it's expired, I do it when I find out. I do, however, at least once a week go to my oldest non-expired deals and delete a page or two.
Doing this, I've found from time to time new deals to post.
I try to check every day. Some deals, like songs from Google Play, seem to last forever. I usually try to expire those after about a month.
@morriea: I do mine pretty much every day as well. I surely don't post anywhere near as many deals as some other users on here, but I try to go in and check out the deals I've posted and see if they are still valid for people.
Nothing is more frustrating than when you search for a deal, get excited, then find out the deal is no longer valid and the OP never expired it here.
sounds like I have been pretty lazy doing this once a month! I will start checking my deals every few days.
I try to do mine no less often than once a week, usually twice a week or if I know that a deal is supposed to expire on a certain day, I try to check it the next day and expire it if needed.
I try to check mine about once a week, or if I know a deal has a short lifespan take care of it before that.But if I click on the link and the product is still available for that price then I leave it there.
Never
I'm in the once every week or two category. I might not check for a while, but once I get started I get stuck on expiring and tattling for a while and forget to do other things. Hyper-focus, you know.
Not nearly as often as I should.
I rarely post deals, but I pay attention to the expiration date and expire them shortly after.
Edited for poor syntax. :)
i'm with iggz...never. honestly though why does it matter? what % of users actually search for deals rather than simply perusing the first couple pages of popular and top?
Ok, they're done. I hope you're happy. =P
I post the Kindle Deal fo the Day, so it is easy. Post the new one, exipre yesterdays.
when they expire.
Daily, or sooner if I know they will expire before then.
