BIGGER, BETTER TRIPLECLICKS SEARCH ENGINE DEBUTS
TripleClicks.com is now utilizing a brand new, vastly improved search engine. The TripleClicks search engine has been rebuilt from the ground up and incorporates a multitude of new features to make searching easier and more user-friendly. And, wow, is it FAST!
Search results now include:
* Regular product listings
* ECA listings/ECA TConnect pages
* Pricebenders auctions (both current and upcoming with minutes-until-start indicated)
* FAQs
It also supports finding pages like "My Account" and "TCredit Ledger"--as well as product categories. Plus, it supports searches like "Ships to me" and "Ships to me for free." Local pickup searches also work great now.
TIP: One of the most powerful ways to make searching fruitful is to use one or more of the filters (located in the left sidebar). Also, don't forget that multiple sorts are available--which can further speed up finding exactly what you're after.
You can try out the new search engine now by heading over to TripleClicks.com and entering a keyword (or keywords to narrow your search) in the search bar located at the top of every page.

NEW PRICEBENDERS BONUS BAR AND BID LOG
We are now testing two new features at some of our Pricebenders auctions.
1. Bonus Bar
The new Pricebenders Bonus Bar is a live, realtime progress bar that sits atop each auction.
When bidding reaches the end of the Bonus Bar, we LOCK IN the price you'll pay if you win. Now matter how much higher bidding goes, your purchase price is locked at 77% off the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price)!
But that's not all. Six times along the way, you can win FREE TCredits in our new Pricebenders Flash Drawings. To enter the drawings, just bid at least once in the 5 minutes prior to the drawing (earn one drawing entry per bid during the 5-minute time period). Limit: 3 drawing wins per auction.
With Flash Drawings every few minutes and multiple chances to win hundreds of FREE TCredits every day, Pricebenders is now more exciting than ever before. And now with a minimum guaranteed purchase price (the price you pay if you win the auction) of 77% off MSRP, it's never been a better value!
Note: The Bonus Bar is debuting as a beta test on Choice, Silver & Gold, and SFI 2 auction tiers (https://www.tripleclicks.com/indexAuctions.php). Assuming testing is successful, the Bonus Bar will be added later to ALL auctions.
2. Alias Bid Log
Since Pricebenders debuted in September 2010 (with the exception of Big Dog auctions), we have always provided a live bid log of the most recent ten bidders with actual names of the bidders. Unfortunately, due to continually growing abuse, we are now testing the use of alias' in the bid log.
How has it been abused? In short, members use the bid log to INTIMIDATE other bidders. For example, we keep finding members who "just happen" to have the same first name and last name initial of some of our biggest, most well-known bidders. Knowing that many bidders will flee from any auction where these "heavy hitters" show up, these members are clearly attempting to scare off the competition and win with dirty tricks. We've identified other scams as well, all using forms of intimidation to win auctions unfairly. This hurts TripleClicks, all of our affiliates, all of our Pricebenders bidders, and it makes these auctions unfeasible for us. It must be stopped now.
Like the new Bonus Bar, we will be first testing Alias Bid Logs on the Choice, Silver & Gold, and SFI 2 auction tiers.
Note: So as to provide full transparency of the bidding process, once an auction ends, a list of every bidder--with both their real name and their temporary* alias--will be provided on the Latest Winners page (click "Bidders" link at https://www.tripleclicks.com/PBlatestWinners.php).
* A new alias is assigned for each auction you participate in.

ASK SC EXTENDS WINNING VP TO TOP 10 MOST POPULAR ANSWERS
Effective immediately, the second runner-up prize for the best Ask SC answers are now extended to those affiliates whose answers rate third to tenth most popular (as voted by affiliates).
So, for each question published, the affiliate whose answer receives the most votes (total of YES votes minus NO votes) will receive 100 VP. The author of the second most popular answer will receive 50 VP, and the authors with the third through tenth most popular answers will each win 25 VP. In the case of ties, both authors will receive either 100 VersaPoints (if tied for most votes), 50 VersaPoints (if tied for second most votes), or 25 VersaPoints (if tied for third through tenth most votes).
