Free Website Content - Deal of the Day Websites
Deal of the Day
By Sharon Housley
With the economy in a questionable state,
everyone is looking for a good deal. Savvy business owners
have jumped at the opportunity to carve out a niche for
themselves in the struggling economy. Coupon and Deal-Of-The-Day
websites have become extremely popular. Everyone is getting
into the action, from large conglomerate websites to small
specialty shops, and many now have some sort of Deal-Of-The-Day
special where an item is offered at a significant discount
for a specified and limited period of time. While the Deal-Of-The-Day
websites were originally designed to capture impulse purchasers,
many financially-conscious penny-pinching shoppers are now
monitoring these sites regularly, in search of good deals
on products they might need.
Everybody loves a bargain! Where should you
look for a bargain?
Software Deal Of The Day WebSites...
Software Deal Of The Day
Software-DOD.com features popular software
titles, with a new discounted application available each
day. The software discounts range from 10-90% off of list
prices, and the featured software is only available at the
discounted price for twenty-four hours. Software-DOD.com
also includes "second chance" offers, which are offers designed
for people who missed the primary Deal Of The Day offer.
The second chance offers are still discounted below the
normal price, but not as deeply discounted as the primary
Deal Of The Day offer was.

Bits Du Jour
Every day, Bits Du Jour offers 24-hour discount
deals on Windows software applications or web services.
They feature deals at a substantial discount, and the discount
is available for that day only.

Give Away Of The Day
Every day, GAOTD offers one software title
that will be a Give-away title for that day. The software
will be available for download for 24 hours (or more, if
agreed on by the software publisher), and that software
will be absolutely free during that time. The GAOTD featured
product is not a trial version, and not a limited version
- it's a registered and legal version of the software, and
free for the website visitors.

(there is also a "game" version of Give Away Of The Day
available at: http://game.giveawayoftheday.com
)
GameDuJour
Game du Jour is a "One Deal a Day" website
featuring indie and casual PC games. Every day of the week,
GameDuJour.com sells one popular downloadable game at a
deep discount. But the clock is ticking, and each deal expires
at the end of the day. Visitors to GameDuJour.com can download
the GameDuJour game, try it, and buy it at a big discount
until midnight Central Time. Then it’s a whole new game
— the clock is reset and another game is offered at a bargain
price.

Electronics Deal Of The Day Websites...
Woot
Woot.com is an online store and community
that focuses on selling cool stuff cheap. It started out
as an employee-store / market-testing outlet for an electronics
distributor, but it's taken on a life of its own, offering
a variety of items, typically electronics and techie toys,
at discount prices for a single day.

Yugster
Yugster is a website that sells cool stuff
at prices that typically cannot be beat. An item is Yours
Until Gone (YUG)! Everyday they offer a new product at 6am
EST, and when it is gone, it is gone. They also offer an
additional unique option -- if you register and become a
"Yugster" (free), you get their daily offers a day before
everyone else. Just log into the Yugster website as a registered
Yugster, and you'll not only see that day's Daily Offer,
but you'll also have access to a special "Sneak Preview"
offer for the offer scheduled for the next day. Registered
Yugsters can also receive emails containing a heads-up on
items available, and access to additional and special "private"
offers that aren't included on the website.

Atomic Deals
Atomic deals is a reverse-price auction. The
price of the offered item drops continually, until the item
is sold out. Each day, new products are added to the site
with three new deals going live every midnight CST. When
an item “goes live” the AtomicDeals falling-price auction
begins, and the price starts to fall. The price will continue
to fall until time runs out or until the item sells out.

1 Sale A Day
1 Sale A Day is a daily deal website, offering
one deeply-discounted product every day, hence the name
1SaleADay. The product is only available for a 24-hour period,
and expires daily at midnight (EST). It is then replaced
with a new discounted product for the following day.

price. When the item is sold out, the deal ends. New products
are available each day.

Daily Gem Deals

that sells only authentic, high-quality jewelry at deep

prices. Instead, DailyGemDeals offers one product at a time,

for 24 hours, ending at Midnight EST. Once the 24-hour period
ends, the next product is featured until the following night.

price -- the quantities are not listed, and when the items
are sold out, the deal ends.

release a new item every 24 hours at 9PM EST.
