I use to have my listings showing up in Google search and I felt I got a good portion of my sales through that avenue, now nothing I have checked, checking specifically and non-specifically is showing up? (Items that have been up, not just recently listed)
When I do a specific style search, page 2 of google search will pull up the general brand + ebay.co.uk and ebay.ie, and just the relative brand, not item. So it's picking up at least the brand on other ebay sites but not even the brand let alone specific item on US Ebay.COM ?
Checking another item for example, I do see some ebay.com listings showing up in image search from a seller who has been selling their items for YEARS-- so, like old listings that have been started, stopped and recontinued but, not mine, and the seller has been steadily selling, stopping, vacationing and then coming back and continuing on with the same item ((And the times the item was not available, it would still show up in recent google search, while mine that had been listed for some weeks, and active, has not.)) So like maybe before this change happened, if there was one, it's holding onto the same old listings but just hasn't upgraded?
I haven't been able to find any discussion about this recently, is this just my listings? 😮
I used to name my image files years back with the title and I thought that was getting them into google but I think I stopped that when I saw them in there regardless some time back. If there are a list of new requirements now that someone could point me to that might help, that would be great.
Also, this is a somewhat separate subject but I noticed a listing I had wasn't getting many views, but did get a watcher with one of the few views quickly.. I just realized one small word in the title was mispelled "des" instead of "de" because the item has been called both commonly , however it wasn't even the main part of the item title, I thought it was a bit similar to saying "hte" instead of "the" or "le" instead of "les" something else I would consider minor if there was still a correctly spelled main and goodly (long) portion of the title included......yet the item didn't come up in ebay search AT ALL... I thought if ebay couldn't find any matches, they would at least pull up items matching the rest of the words at least, for their *similar* matches?
This item was on auction with only a couple days left, so I was left pondering last night if I should stop and restart the listing due to the lack of views and findability. I probably won't since I do have the one watcher who knew how to search in the way that would pull up the listing, but my point is I seem to keep running into this complete lack of promotion of what I'm selling, because I can't fit all these characters in the title or something else I can't figure out, apparently since I'm missing a tiny portion or something or something is off, I'm not to come up at all.
Example, not showing up in Fragrantica's search engine because I have something labeled L'occitane and not L'occitane en Provence, though even in Ebay's search engine L'occitane by itself is listed as a proper brand name. I just don't get it, like I'm trying to chase this runnaway ghost of these exact specificities. Whereas Ebay seemed to once be a little smarter and did a little bit more work for me~
Thanks for any input
