“Catherine Gillespie of Artists in Buffalo says god-looking website are important.”
No, we haven’t gone mad after all the New Year parties. What you’ve just read was a shameful typo that appeared on the Buffalo News website. If the people who are paid to write the news make fundamental typos that end up in final copy, imagine how many typos the rest of us make.
Our Cow Department of Made-Up Stats estimates that across the Internet, there are more than 500 cowzillion typos that nobody has spotted. Scary stuff. How, then, can we put these typos to “god” use? Well, the subject of this review might just have the answer.
This baldy is Tony. He currently ranks as our third-favorite baldy because he has created the website Auction Intelligence. From the homepage:
Who Else Wants To Know How To Find, In 4 Easy Steps, Every Misspelled or Mistyped Listing On eBay, Which Cannot Be Found By Using Any Normal Search Tool, Therefore Attracting Very Few Bids By The End Of The Auction?
Despite being trigger-happy with his shift key, Tony has come up with a great concept. You can get started right away with Auction Intelligence.
Type in what you’re looking for, decide to include or exclude the correct spelling from the search results, choose a regional eBay (US, UK, Aussie, Canadian) and then search away. We tried searching for a “cow alarm clock”. To our disappointment, you can only search for one term at a time. We should have read the tip underneath the search box.
The error message we got told us to watch a demonstration video. To do so, you have to enter your email address and have it sent to you.
We think this is unwise. The video should be on the front page. If people want to sign up for updates, that’s all well and good, but having to sign up to watch an instructional video will put people off.
Saddened that we wouldn’t be able to find an alarm clock, we searched for “Playstation”. A window popped up with our eBay search results of numerous variations of the word “Playstation”. Sure enough, there were a bunch of games and gadgets with no bids and minimal time remaining. No real bargains yet, however.
Next, we stepped up our game and searched for “IBM” and “Apple”. These terms produced error pages; likely they were too short. How about “Toshiba”? Nothing worth writing home about.
Finally, we tried “Panasonic” and “Technics”. We found lots of Lego. Searching for a single term limits the usability of Auction Intelligence, but we have no doubt that if you play around with the website, you will be able to find some bargains. You should give Auction Intelligence at least a few minutes of your time after reading this review.
What we’d like to see from Tony is the ability to search for multiple-word phrases as well as some testimonials on the front page of cool things that people have found and bought. As we said, the tutorial video should also be on the homepage.
Overall, the site needs a relick - new logo, better colors and perhaps a picture of Tony wearing a hat. We made the last one up, but a new logo and colors would make a world of difference.
Tony is definitely onto a “god” thing with Auction Intelligence.

oh dear! Goog job most of us have a spell checker!
Nice! I am assuming he will be using his ebay aff to monteize.
I think it is a great concept but until multiple search terms are allowed I won’t be using it that often.
loL. tHAT WAS a grEAT posT. Very funy John. The baldy and Cow depsrtment of made up stats made me laugh!
Speaking of typos.. I just ordered $500 worth of custom-made mousepads for giveaway’s etc.. After they arrived and after i gave a few away, I got an email from a member of my website pointing out that there was a typo/grammatical error on it.. D’oh!
I didn’t notice it said “god” until you pointed it out…
Umm….I was going to write a great comment here, but I’ve decided to build a website around it…More to follow.
Your right its good to have a nice looking sites. Its a great way to get free imbound backlinks to your site.
Well living in Buffalo, NY we all know that there is one newspaper here. They have no comtition so tipos doont reely mater. Everybody will read them anyway.
I actually happen to have the only “God-looking” website. And by “God-looking,” I mean a “sweet succulent view from heaven looking down through God’s retinas.”
