I'VE BEEN RETAILING WOMEN'S CLOTHING FOR MOST OF MY LIFE. RECENTLY I BEGAN SELLING ON EBAY. I RESEARCHED TO DEATH, THE BEST TECHNIQUES AND READ EVERYTHING I COULD GET MY HANDS ON.
EVERYTHING I READ SAID TO EMULATE POWER SELLERS & USE USEFUL KEYWORDS IN THE LISTING TITLE. I READ NOT TO USE FILLER WORDS LIKE "LOOK, SEXY, WOW..." AND GOOGLE SEARCHES WILL ALSO PICK UP YOUR AD. I WAS TAUGHT TO USE ALL THE SPACES AVAILABLE IN THE TITLE TO EXPLAIN MY LISTING PRECISELY.
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF MY ADS -
"VICTORIA SECRET BIKINI TOP M SWIM SUIT PUSH UP"
I NOTICED THIS LISTING WAS NOT GETTING ANY VIEWS SO I SEARCHED FOR "VICTORIA SECRET BIKINI TOP" AND MY LISTING DID NOT SHOW UP. I CALLED EBAY AND THE FIRST REP COULD NOT EXPLAIN THIS. MY QUESTION WAS, "DOES A PERSON HAVE TO SEARCH FOR ALL THOSE WORDS TO FIND MY LISTING?" SHE COULDN'T ANSWER. SO I HUNG UP AND SEARCHED "VICTORIA SECRET BIKINI TOP" AND GOT OVER 1000 RESULTS. THEN I SEARCHED MY LISTING AD WORDS EXACTLY AND GOT MUCH FEWER RESULTS.
I CALLED EBAY AGAIN, HOPING TO GET A MORE KNOWLEDGABLE REP. SHE TOLD ME KEEPING THE LISTING TITLE SIMPLE WOULD BE BETTER FOR MY SEARCH RESULT AVERAGE.
I JUST TRIMMED ALL MY LISTINGS TO JUST THE BARE BONES OF WHAT A PERSON MAY SEARCH FOR. I TOOK OUT WORDS LIKE - "HALTER, PUSH UP, LACE BACK, BEADED, ONE SHOULDER, ....." THAT I THOUGHT BROUGHT MORE RESULTS.
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THE LISTING TITLES TO ME!!!!!
