What happened to all my views?

[beedabee1-2008]

I have been selling on eBay for quite some time now, and I use to have thousands of views on my products.  I had to step away (at least majorly slow down) selling for a bit, and recently ramped up my listings once again.  I also switched my focus on selling books now.  I noticed I hardly have any views any longer for my products.  The most views I have in my store is in the 40's views but the majority of my views are 0 to 1. 

When looking it up, all I could find is make sure you meet eBay's SEO, but I cannot find out a way to be able to do that.  Any help someone could provide would be greatly appreciated.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

The views are all organic now which means there are no more bots viewing your items.  Remember, Bots don't make purchases, buyers do.  My focus would be more on sales than views.  You can have 500 views on one item, but if it doesn't sell, it doesn't sell.  Concentrate on those sales you make.  They're what matters and what pays the bills.  

Good luck to you & Happy Selling.

Hi,

I find it frustrating also.  When a 1963 Mickey Mantle at auction for starting bid of only 19.95 and there are 0 views after a day and a half, one starts to worry.  But overall it all works out.  Good luck to you in the future.

You are actually doing very well for someone selling books - selling books is very difficult here, even interesting, somewhat more rare books as you have - because of the glut. I used to sell books so I understand.

SEO is just optimizing search - having good titles with rich keywords. You have "Vintage History Books Set of 6", for instance - that's not as searchable as having a couple of the titles which people WILL search on. Most people don't buy vintage history books just to buy them - they have a specific interest (I've collected books for years and history is my speciality), era, subject, etc. - what would draw people to look at that listing? Assist them in finding it? Those are the keywords you want.
