Hi
Where are you trying to search?


I just did a google search using your title
"STERLING SILVER 9 STONE CORAL BRACELET
and you came up in the top 3 product listings.

Now, if you are trying to get your site to show by just typing STERLING SILVER you have a Lot of work to do to get those results


Good Luck

Hi Kenny, I was searching within ecrater..I did type in sterling silver and other keywords and I used to be able to see my listings, now I went through every page and I couldn't find any of my jewelry listings. I entered sterlinggems and my listings came up I'm wondering if I can't find my listings how could any buyers find them. I even tried updating my listings a few days ago and still nothing..Thank you so much for your quick response..gigi

Well its my experience that newer items are listed first in general searches.
If you just type in Sterling Silver, then however many people have listed items with Sterling Silver in the title AFTER your last listing will come up before yours in the ecrater search.

Updating an item will not move it to the front of the ecrater search either.

Thats why its good to spread out your listings.

Also, I doubt many buyers will be searching through eCrater itself.
most searchers will likely find you through google, or MSN.

I started with
COLLECTIBLE TEDDY BEAR
http://www.ecrater.com/search.php?keywords=COLLECTIBLE+TEDDY+BEAR+
Just to see if your store is there at all. That shows up just fine.

I then searched
STERLING SILVER 1.25ctw MARQUISE
That shows up -
http://www.ecrater.com/search.php?keywords=STERLING+SILVER+1.25ctw+MARQUISE+&cid=0

So I searched
STERLING SILVER 1.25ctw
and that shows up
http://www.ecrater.com/search.php?keywords=STERLING+SILVER+1.25ctw+&cid=0

So I thought I would look for something older -
STERLING SILVER NAVAJO
That shows up
http://www.ecrater.com/search.php?keywords=STERLING+SILVER+NAVAJO+&cid=0

search results for: STERLING SILVER (8443 results found)
I wasn't digging through 8443 items to find yours but since all the others are there - I bit they are there too.


Just thought I would mention that SOLD images are not to be left showing in your store for more then 2 weeks. If they are older then 2 weeks you need to hide or delete the items.

Gigi:

Pretty, pretty Just wanted to added, using all capitals can be a real turn off to buyers, might want to go back and revise those listings and your texts to lower case.

Good luck!
