I’ve spent the past couple of weeks tweaking AuctionLink for use by international eBay sellers.  Besides eBay.com, AuctionLink now works for people or businesses who sell on the Canadian, Australian, and UK eBay sites.

What is AuctionLink and Why Should I Care?

AuctionLink is shortened, easy-to-remember web address that returns your current eBay listings.  It makes it easy to include a link to all of your current listings in your e-mail sig files and Twitter tweets.

Here’s an example of an AuctionLink:

Even more significant is AuctionLink’s potential to help your Listing Performance Score – a key factor in getting to the front page of the Best Match search results.

A Listing Performance Score is calculated by dividing the number of sales generated for a particular listing by the number of times that listing has appeared (impressions) in the eBay search results.  Listings appearing on AuctionLink are not considered as generating an impression.  So, the more sales you can generate while keeping your impressions to a minimum will help your rankings in the Best Match search and sort calculations.

      Auction Link is an excellent idea, but how does it really differ from a standard URL shortener like bit ly?

      Great question!

      Well – for one, it’s a lot easier for your customers to remember.

      Take for example these two links:

      http://bit.ly/6uFXVn
      http://auctionlink.to/saddleonline

      They both resolve to the same seller’s listings. Which one looks more memorable?

      Additionally, AuctionLink resolves to a real webpage which can be spidered and indexed by the search engines. In fact AuctionLink pages are designed with Search Engine Optimization in mind.

      Finally, online since 2000, AuctionLink is the original URL shortener for eBay sellers. :)
