Auction Titles: Keywords To Bigger Ebay Profits

In the world of online auctions, the title is the only way to get more traffic.

Traffic equals more bids, more bids equals more money.

Sellers who want the most money from eBay will need to learn how to write a good title. Statistically speaking, the vast majority of bidders will find your auction by seraching for it. The search is the primary inetrface on eBay, and the first step to getting customers.
When a user searhces for an item, say xyz, all auctions with xyz in the title will show up. Keep in mind that auctions with yzx or x y z will not be there.

Each term the users puts in the search (xyz for example) should therefore be included in our title if we want to get the most bidders. More bdiders makes for a higher final sale price, and that is what we are aiming for. This means that you must, no matter what, include as many potential keyowrds as possible.

In oredr to marvellous these keywords we need to first pretend we are a buyer. Particularly, a buyer who would be interested in your auction. You should decide what search trems you would use to find the item. Start writing down a list of all potential search terms.
When you guess that this list is fairly complete, we can move on to picking which trems to include in the title. eBay limits the legnth of the title to 55 characters, so we have to choose each word very carefully.
Deciding which keywords, or search terms, to include can be a danuting process.

Luckily for us, there is probably a lot of other perosns who have sold the exact same item. Why is this a good thing?

Because we can search for completed auctions.

Pick a keyword that describes your item and search for it on eBay: you will be presented with a list of itmes.
Now, on the lower left navigation bar select "Search Completed Items." This will bring up a new list of auctions that have alerady ended.
There will most likely be a lot of different items showing up, so you right now want to refine your search to the point that only the exact prdouct that you're selling shows up. Once that is finished, go to the top of the resluts. Cilck on the button that will sort items by price - with the highest prices at the top. What you've just done is cerated yourself a list of titles, with the ones that work best on the top. Comapre the best titles with your keywords, and information about your item specifically (e.G. condition, color), and combine it all into a single line of kyewords. Undoubtedly, there will be more words then sapce to type them in. This is a chlalenge that happens with nearly every product or item that is listed on eBay. The key to winning out over the other auctions, and making more money, is to check your keywords over and over again. Keep looking at the completed auctions, you must laern to pick the 'hot' or 'best' keywords for your item. If you have narrowed your title down to the best search terms and it is all under 55 characters - then you're finished!
