Social Networking and How It Draws Traffic to Your eBay Listings by Avril Harper

‘Blogging’, ‘Podcasting’, just two of many recent buzzwords designed to help encourage social interactivity between online buyers and sellers and representing great ways to market your products and services without having to pay. Anything that promotes your business effectively, not just on eBay, has to be worth considering and today I’ll show briefly how to attract heavy traffic to your eBay listings, completely free of charge.

Blogging and podcasting work very well, but nowhere near as well as the latest buzzword marketing concept. SOCIAL NETWORKING. Social networking simply means corresponding with people online via various sites that attract millions of visitors daily and give you your own private space from which to talk about yourself, your hobbies, less blatantly about your products.

Sites like My Space, You Tube, Squidoo, and others provide a valuable forum where you can post comments about anything and everything, legal of course, and sign off with your name and web site details. Some private postings are viewed millions of times including one on You Tube, showing a man demonstrating a simple dance routine which has been viewed four million times in approximately four months. These signature files, also video clips and other communications, not only prompt people to check out your site but they also create active links back to your site which in turn gets your site lifted higher in search engine rankings. Imagine four million back links to your site from a dance step routine that continues outside the social networking site and maybe includes a product teaching more dance steps!! Just fictitious, that bloke with the dance routine has my mind spinning with ideas!

I won’t go into details about why search engines like Google will favour your site in search listings over others with fewer or no incoming links, just be aware that it does, subject to no rules being broken. ‘Black Hat’ search engine optimisation, the stuff that does sometimes break the rules, must be avoided at all costs, and can get your site banned altogether from search engine listings. A simple signature file and offer to help fellow members in social networking sites is completely acceptable and can generate hundreds or thousands of incoming links to your web sites, including your eBay listings.

Be careful though, and remember most auction listings are short term and should not be used for incoming links. Instead link your posts to your About Me page or your eBay shop or a specific indefinitely listed eBay Shop product.

So what are you going to say in these postings? Well naturally that depends on which social networking site you place your postings and what products you hope might interest fellow members.
