Sales picked up during Chinese spring holidays, back to poor sales since return

My sales picked up tremendously during the Chinese holidays between Feb 1 and 14. Now that they are back from vacation, sales have plummeted again, which began back in April last year. It is my belief that my products do not get seen due to the relentless spamming from Chinese sellers, which has been made worse by the pay per click. They spam every keyword, and now if I search for similar products to mine, I just get loads of other unrelated items because I am assuming the keywords they are using for their products. Anyone else notice this? If your products aren't seen, your sales will fall, and that is what happened to me. Also,  if I were to use pay-per-click to complete I would have not enough profits to make it worth my while.

Your Harley, Davidson and Motörhead lights show up first in search when using regular, common search terms.

your make your own sign listing shows up pretty well, also. The problem there is just price. It is much more expensive than the one other that I saw on the first page of results. That seller is not in China – that is an American seller. I know, it is popular to blame China for everything, but your main problem has nothing to do with anyone in that country

I agree with you on those items, its my large signs, I experienced a large increase in sales when thay were on holiday because my listing came up in seaches more often. I cannot increase my promotion fees, click or standard because I would be working for nothing. My point is they clutter the searches with tons of irrelevant stuff by using keyword spamming. I stand corrected , it isnt just china its the way advanced promotions works, sales have died for a lot of sellers since its implementation and if we dont pay out more of our already very thin profit we can get stuffed because china will, they dont have the over heads and get concessions from some countries.
