I guess they should have included : Displaying 1-24 of over 1000 results.

Nice Post indeed.I guess Indian web entreprneurs have decided to go with mass maketing for indina users as most of India are “utility” users with most of them using net for mail,chat and info search (and porno ).To get attention from these users they are using traditional mass media marketing.

And yes this strategy is working to bring users to their sites.My assumption is that most of users are first timers on SNs as existing user are slow movers.

Will these users wil stick to these advertisers.We all know product these advertisers permoting are not “best”.Amy be fisrt time users stay for a while but once they get aware about the other better product their will be change of loyalties.

Postive point here is all this mass marketing will create mass marketing of “web 2.0″ and will attract new users on sites which will help all net entreprenuers.

Firstly! Awesome post! Should accept you have been doing some work on this.

But i’m not sure they would agree with you. I think its fine to show up “over” 1000 results as the count while having over 100,000 profiles for the search results.

If i am looking for a person say “x” and it shows up as a 100,000, would i want to go through all the pages and look for “X”? nah

Also, the number of pages being 42.. i think the afore mentioned explanation would hold good for that too.
If you want all the numbers showed up, may be you should let them know by feed back, see if it works.
I’m sure they have that many users, you should try scrolling beyond the 42′nd page

I have been on the site for sometime now, and completely love it. I see new people joining all the time and the videos and photos are pretty cool too.

You should probably check it out!

nice post explaining the number of member on bigadda. but i think u misunderstood what the bottom of the page says.

It reads… ‘Displaying’ 1-24 of 1000 member profiles. If effectively means at any given point and time the site is throwing up over 1000 member profiles. They have a basic ‘search’ filter on top of the page. If you use/ modify the requirement, you’ll get a different result set upto a 1000 odd profiles.

besides i did register and have been using the site over the last 2 weeks now. there are different profiles that come up if one notices carefully every 20 – 30 minutes. these are all NEW members that keep getting added reqularly.

i’m not great at puttin up explanation in numbers, but am pretty certain they have over 100000 members. and since they’re ad campaign is all over the place, there is NO reason to believe OTHERWISE.

over n aobve all this, they have soooo many vidoes and photos, one can spend the entire day watchin em… that too while u find new friends to mingle with.

so yes, i feel bigadda is quite happening, YES.
CHEERS to BIGADDA!!!
