How do I get more impressions?

[quickbuys2024]

Hi ,   Does anyone know why some listings get way more impressions than others?

Some things are more searched for.

That's it.

That's all that really matters.

The listing(s) that is most interesting to buyers will get the most views.

Do you think all listings should have the same number of impressions?

You're dropshipping from China.

Dropshipping from Alibaba is not allowed.

Why do some get more views then others, more people are looking at those listings.

Don't know but impressions are meaningless (this does NOT mean that customer viewed your item).  

This EBAY definition of what impression means   "We count an impression when a link to your listing appears on eBay.   At this point, the buyer is ONE CLICK AWAY FROM YOUR LISTING PAGE."

EBAY wants seller to believe that hundreds of thousands of buyers have viewed their items.   This is sort of like saying there were 1,000 customers "standing outside your store" (doesn't mean anything).

Are you talking about Search Impressions or Non-Search Impressions?

When a buyer does a search and you listing appears on a results page the buyer looks at it's an Search Impression.

A Non-Search Impression is when eBay displays your listing on other listing pages (yours or a different seller), in marketing messages, side bar location and other places on or off eBay.

For the Search Impressions it's dependent on your keywords matching a search query, maybe because people are searching for the item or an item which is not what they are looking for but does match some keywords and appears in the search results.

There is no direct correlation between impression, views or sales other than the more impressions you get the more likely they will results in page views and potentially sales.

All the numbers in the Traffic reports need to be taken as a whole, only looking at one of the numbers (Impression or Views or Conversion) on it's own doesn't tell you that much.

Personally the key number for me is the conversion rate, all that Impressions tell you is that the listing is visible and seen.

The simplest explanation might be that some listings match more searches than others.

Thank you for your reply.  Now my account was restricted mc011, is drop shipping really not allowed? I am drop shipping with Eprolo, any tips on getting my account reinstated?

Impressions and views are just that...impressions and views.  I would think being a seller you would be more concerned about getting actual sales.  Impressions and views don't pay the bills...sales do.

Happy Selling

It is highly unlikely your account will be re instated, especially with 3rd party drop shipping.

Good luck in the future
