If you don’t know the secrets behind eBay’s new search algorithm, Best Match, you are losing sales!
 
In the Spring of 2008, eBay unleashed a secret new algorithm that determines the order in which auction listings are ranked and displayed on their search results pages. 
 

The results were immediate and astounding.  On the forums, sellers reported that the page views for their listings were down more than 60% after the first weekend that Best Match was made eBay’s default search sort order.

Why?  Because under Best Match, their listings never made it to the top or even the first page of the search results.  Ever.

That’s a problem!  Because without bidders, there’s no bids.  You might as well just send eBay a check and not bother with the effort it takes to create and post your listings.  The results are the same.

This free book reveals the secrets eBay doesn’t want you to know.  It exposes what’s required to get the top spots in eBay’s search results so you can get the bids!

Learn:

  • The four major factors that influence rankings in Best Match
  • How to find and evaluate the keywords to include in your auction listing’s title in order rank highly in the search results
  • How your shipping and handling policies might be punishing your Best Match rankings
  • Best Match mistakes to avoid
  • How to bypass Best Match and drive traffic to your listings from other marketing sources
  • How to better convert browsers into buyers after they find your listings

This book represents my effort to consolidate all of the credible information regarding the Best Match in one spot.  I tracked down the search algorithm patent application, combed the internet for interviews in which eBay executives and developers mentioned specific functionality of  Best Match, read blog and message forum posts detailing other sellers’ observations of Best Match, and conducted my own analysis based on personal experiments with the search results.

  9. Hafiz on February 23rd, 2009 3:44 pm

    I was going to download this book but then I read the comments . It looks like that some one has posted all the comments with different users names for just for advertising purpose. There is nothing like discussion in comments mean book is dependent on these types of comments so I am not downloading the book.

  10. Doug Feiring on February 23rd, 2009 4:36 pm

    Hafiz,
    Suit yourself.

    Please note that I’m giving the book away. Not sure why you think I would go through so much effort to shill a free book.

    Doug

    Hafiz,

    No offense, but it is rather presumptuous of you to malign other’s for your self-serving purpose in the light of unsubstantial facts. If you have unpleasant comments… pls. do keep it to yourself.

    People here read because they want to learn and appreciate what the author of this website has to say. It is a community site built upon educated people with common interest & sentiments. It is a pity you couldn’t fit in.

    As for Doug, that is his cup of tea…
    This is his passion & joy…
    This is who he is….
    So please respect the guy…
    And perhaps you would earn that respect!!!

    I just downloaded & started reading this ebook. I have read through some of the comments posted about it & look forward to reading. As for “Hafiz”, I agree with the people going against him/her. You shouldn’t judge this site OR anyone else’s site until you look into it more. Sure, this ebook could be crap, but don’t say it is until you’ve read it. Maybe it will help you a little. Maybe it will help me too. I hope it does.

  13. Doug Feiring on April 16th, 2009 7:05 pm

    Michael,
    I hope you report back here after you’ve finished whether you think the eBook is “crap” or not!

    Doug

    I have read your ebook and found it very valuable; to be truthful,I did not plough through the appendix. I am a novice, on the brink of starting out as an eBayer. The tips and warnings you provide in the book are really enlightening.You include many helpful web links, most of which I have visited. To me the information provided in the book is a real ‘Eye Opener’ and has marked my card very well concerning the design and hosting of listings. Many thanks for providing this very relevant publication!

  15. Thomas Steele on June 26th, 2009 7:43 am

    I really appreciate your research. I have read most of the book and found it to be very enlighting. I have read other books on marketing strategies that only confirms the information that I have found in your book. So thanks again. You have been a great help.

    Respectfully,
    Thomas Steele

    You must have taken so much time out of your life in order to help others; I have just downloaded the eBook and will read it very soon. Even if I learn nothing and the book is absolute rubbish (I doubt very much!!!) I just want to give a personal thank you to Doug who has decided to help others with his experience and knowledge totally free of charge, my hat comes off to you! Thank you so so much.

  25. Ed on June 15th, 2010 10:39 am

    Hey,

    great post, you know eBay really stopped a lot of sellers in their tracks when they made best match the default search format!

    And this report will open a few eyes on how best to utilise it!
