What does Today's DOD do?
|
Today's DOD tracks daily deals on the internet. Most of the deals we track are from what are known as 'one-a-day' websites which offer consumers one deal every 24 hours which are usually marked down much lower than normal prices. There are literally hundreds of 'one-a-day' sites on the internet, so it would be almost impossible to view all of the deals daily without the use of a tracker like Today's DOD.

Ok that's great, but what's this?
|
1) Columns - The number of columns in each row of boxes. Depending on your screen resolution and the size of the boxes, you may be able to fit more columns on your screen than the default of three. Note: This option is only available in "Boxes" view.
2) Box Size - You may choose three different sizes of boxes. This is dependant upon your screen resolution, number of columns, and of course your personal preference. Note: This option is only available in "Boxes" view.
3) Sort By - Sorts the deals by whichever method you choose. "Left" stands for time left and "Pop" stands for popularity.
4) Mode - You may choose either "boxes" or "stacked" views. Boxes will look like the example below and are semi customizable. Stacked mode will put the deals to one column to a row, and will look more like traditional deal tracking sites.
5) View - " Hi" is the default view showing all deal information. "Low" is the same as "Hi" mode but without the pictures.

What about all these crazy boxes?
|
 | 1) Site Name - The name of the website that the deal was tracked from. The background color is blue by default, however if the deal is very popular or we decide that it is a really good deal, it will have a red background
2) Popularity - The farther to the right the green bar is, the more popular the deal is. This is based upon the deal age and the number of clicks
3) Coupons / Past Items - If the website has any active coupons, the 'coupon' text will show up red and will link to the coupons. You can view the past items for any website by clicking on the 'Past Items' link
4) Price / Shipping - The price and shipping price of the current item. If no shipping amount is given, then the shipping charges vary based upon location
5) Age / Time Left - The age is the time since Today's DOD first tracked the deal. Time left is Today's DOD's best guess as to when the next deal will be posted. Please note that time left is not always 100% accurate
6) Picture - The picture of the item being sold
7) Item Name - The name of the item being sold. Sometimes there will be red text below the item name which will contain special information for that specific deal

Wait a second, where did 'Free Poison Daily' go?
|
Not every site will show up every day. Some sites don't update when they are suppose to, other times our tracker will mess up from a weird looking deal, and sometimes a rain drop in Nigeria will cause a server error and no update will be made. The site will be tracked again at some point, or maybe you will never see it again. Either way we're doing our best.
