Catwise Yoshikawa Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 And would be better if you didn't play with relevance settings. Right now I just see a mix of 0-10L and 2.000L items. And the things I was following sales and rank position are nowhere now... Also notice firt time clicking that banner I had items per page changed to 96, not sure why ^^' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rya Nitely Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I quite like the 96 items per page. It's easier to scroll down than to click to the next page and get bored before they finally get to my item. At least this way my item stands a chance of being seen. Why oh why did I do the homepage feature a week ago for a halloween item? Well, I learnt the lesson again about not ever doing a homepage feature again. A category feature might have stood more of a chance with that banner now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Vandeverre Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm not getting what you're saying about not doing a featured ad. If you had started running a featured ad in the Halloween section a month ago - your item should be a top seller now - and as a top seller it should score on the page 1 or 2 of the general Halloween search or what is basically the same search that the banner takes you to, a bonus of a 96 product listing....so definitely should have made it to page 1 or 2 there. If you had run the feature listing even earlier than a month ago - you probably would have guaranteed placement. The banner ad is like a sign in the shop window to lure people who did not necessarily walk down the street to go into the Halloween shop, but saw it on their way to the shoe shop. If someone specifically wanted pumpkins and decorations - they will probably type in Halloween or Pumpkin to search or they will go directly to the Celebrations category and choose Halloween. The banner is not detracting those - they knew where to go - the banner is catching others that were not on their way there. You ran your item on the market home page? I think that most here would say that was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Vandeverre Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 I just did the same search for the general Halloween section and the listing order looks the same to me. Having 96 on page is a huge bonus - convenient - wish they would do that on all the pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rya Nitely Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Yes Mickey, I made the mistake of running it on the market homepage thinking that people might not even be able to find the halloween section. They would need to know that it is under celebrations - holidays - Halloween. But now that there is a banner ad taking you to it yes I should have run it under category. My mistake, live and learn.

But if you have a featured in that category you will have less possibilities to be seen, cause that carousel moves every time you go to next page ;-) Imagine how many times your will see that carousel if you use 96 items per page ^^ The thing is no matter when you bought featured listing, cause they could change/reset/whatever relevance settings and your item in page 3 would go nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
