Web Marketing Tools ReviewsJanuary 04 Best eBay Selling Tip In 10 YearsMore than 90% of people on ebay will find your auction through the
normal search bar located on the top of any ebay site. Which means they
are just going to type in the keyword for what they are looking for and
the auctions are listed in front of them. In fact, study shows that 90% of eBay buyers use the search bar to find what they are looking for. 90% of eBay buyers are a big group of people if you ask me. But do you know on what factors does the position of your auction is determined when a user searches for it on eBay? For example: Lets say I'm selling a beer and wine making kit and my title is: Wine making kit better than beer machine and mr beer. Now any time a person searching on ebay uses any combinations of those words, my auction will show up. Let me give you an example: So if someone types in: 'Home Beer Kit', my auction will show up or even if they typed in 'Beer Home Kit' STILL, the same auction will show up. Test this out yourself, you will be astonished. Now, instead of using the title: 'Wine making kit better than beer machine and mr beer', as this would violate eBay's auction title policy - since I am not selling Mr.beer or Beer Machine, but my own beer and wine kit. I can still use this type of word placement to my advantage. I can use an auction tile that reads: Best Wine Kit Mr Fast Machine Beer Maker. This is 100% legit on ebay and you got all your keywords in that auction title! Including your competitors keywords. Pretty neat eh! Now when people search for Fast Beer Maker, they will find my auction and when they search for Mr Beer, they will find my auction too. What a great auction title tip! I wanted to make a point with this article and that is as long as the keywords your target market is typing for is in the title of your ebay auction, when a user searches on ebay, they will be presented with your auction. Regardless of the arrangement of those keywords. Try it out and test it yourself. Take advantage of your competition or the established brands that are selling what you are. I never would have learned this little trick if I didn't keep testing out different keywords and key phrases. I actually discovered this nifty trick upon accident and was naturally very pleased. Try out different key phrases and keywords that you think people might be using and see which one brings in the most targeted traffic. Also no matter what you are selling right now, you probably have competition. See if you can break down your competitors brand names into different keywords and put them in your auction title. This is a very good of getting targeted traffic that will take action when they see your auction. Plus remember, its not about having high traffic keywords, its about having keywords that convert to sales. The best way to find this out is by testing different keywords in your auction title. Assume nothing, test everything. This is how you become a success in business, especially an internet business.

an affiliate business. To be taken seriously, you need to purchase a
domain name of your own. It is also an important factor when it comes
to branding yourself and your online presence that your affiliate
business creates. Therefore, it is important that you take note of the
5 important points listed below when you have decided upon an affiliate
program to promote as an affiliate business. 1. Avoid “free” domains Your domain name will be your business’s “address” on the Internet, so it’s important that you choose the right one. That is why you MUST get your own unique name, as opposed to one you can get from a web hosting company that includes their name (eg. /YourWebHost/yoursite). With your own domain name, you can easily move your site to another host while keeping your domain name if you are unhappy with the current host’s range of services. 2. Always register a “.com” name first. Everyone remembers a “.com” before “.net”. Even most web browswers, if the extension is not entered, will default to “.com”. 3. Consider registering other top-level domains like “.net” and “.org” No, this is not a contradiction to the previous point. Rather, it’s always a good idea to protect your business and your domain names by registering the less popular top level domains as well. 4. Protect Your Business by Registering Product Names and Plurals You should also go beyond the basic top level domains and register some variations on your domain as well, including plurals and even misspellings. Now, you may ask why misspellings? Because believe it or now, there are “typo-squatters” out there who make a point of registering misspellings of popular domain names just to scoop up the traffic of people who made an innocent typo error. 5. You can create your own sub-domains If you cannot find a domain name that has the keywords you want to focus on, there is another solution. You can take advantage of a sub-domain, which is anything that comes before the main domain. Search engines love keyword-rich domains. Well, by using your keywords in your sub-domain, you can have the same effect.
