Views on Auctions…Accurate?

[iluv80smusic]

Hi,

I’m a Power Seller and I have some 7 day auctions listed, but it seems like the “Views” can’t be accurate. Too many times the auctions might only have 1 view or 0 views. It almost seems impossible since I put viewer friendly descriptions in the title to generate views.

Am I doing something wrong? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

The Power Seller program was retired a couple years ago.  But I see you are TRS and that is a good thing.

Views go up and down all the time.  Sometimes they are right and sometimes they aren't.  Sometimes their are people out their viewing our listings and sometimes their aren't.  

I'm not sure what "viewer friendly descriptions in the title" are exactly.  I assume you mean that you write your titles with the buyer in mind and what words they would likely use while searching for what you are trying to sell.

IMHO you do a great job with your titles.  My only suggestion would be to use the All Cap words more sparingly.  My rule of thumb is only 3-4 words in all caps and ALWAYS words that are the most important.

We get a lot of our traffic from Google.  There was a time that Google would downgrade a listing in the search return if there were too many all cap words and/or words that were repeated.  IDK if these are still important to Google, but this has served me well over the years.

I think you're actually doing well, considering how slow CD sales are (I go through bouts where I sell CDs and they are slooooow sellers).

My big, fat opinion: Your description template really could use some updating - clashing colours and fonts, big white space, threats of what happens with non-payment and the statement that you only take Paypal are a bit off-putting and 2005. You're in a really tough market as it is, and I would try to stay more current and present your information, which is a GOOD thing, in a more current manner. You have a lot of competition, and a lot of it is shopping on mobile.
