Hot Selling Items For Ebay Auctions

-

Many people who are trying to start an eBay 

business spend a great deal of time trying to figure 

out which items sell the best on eBay. Many of these

people have elaborate systems for determining this 

information, and many others purchase expensive 

courses that teach them how to find this information 

as well. None of that is necessary. Everything you 

need to know is right in front of you – on the eBay 

website!

Take a look at any category, and you will see the 

word ‘hot’ beside some items. These items are not 

marked as hot sellers randomly – there is a method 

to the madness! Items only get marked as hot when 

there have been more than thirty bids placed on 

the item. All you have to do is wonder around the eBay 

website for a while to find an item that will do well. 

However, most power sellers will agree that there is 

more to figuring out which items sell best than this. 

In fact, they claim that it is a science. A great way 

to start your search for items that will result in a 

successful auction in the future is to do research on 

the auctions that were successful in the past. You 

can view old listings that have completed at:

http://listings.ebay.com .

A new way to determine what items sell best on 

eBay is ‘eBay Marketplace Research.’ Marketplace 

Research will allow you to view important statistical 

information on the buying trends at eBay. This 

product contains all of the data one could possibly 

ever need to determine how well – or how poorly – 

an item will do in an eBay auction. There is a small 

fee for using the eBay Marketplace Research tools, 

however.

Another tool that will be very useful in your quest for 

finding hot selling items for your eBay auctions is the 

listing of popular eBay search terms that is found on 

the site. This list can be found at: 

http://popular.ebay.com/ . This list is divided into 

categories, which will make it easier to determine 

how popular your potential item may be. 

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that an item will 

do poorly, or that it will do well without doing your 

homework on the item first. Some of the strangest 

things sell for the highest prices, while items that 

would sell quickly in any other environment just sit 

there. Almost any eBay Power Seller will tell you 

that the key to a successful auction rests in the 

amount of research you put into the items you 

hope to sell.

The Future Of Search Engine Rangkings

-
How do you plan for future changes in search engine rankings? It would be great to have a crystal ball, prying into the plans of the search engines and how they may change weights of algorithms and the like. For those of little SE understanding, algorithms are formulas or rules set up by SE’s to determine ranking. Each rule then has a different weight or percentage of importance assigned to it. A good example of this is currently Google’s high weighting of linking over all other factors or rules. So knowing this how do we get ahead of the game? Do we simply keep up with the Jones (Google) in current time and not worry about future changes? Or do we allow for future changes in algorithms so we don’t have to go changing thousands of pages later on? For me I will take the later…. and this is how it’s done…  We simply build in all factors that the SE’s currently rank sites on, a few they may use into the future and concentrate on ones that are the most sensible…. here is a list doma

Book Review Warriors Wokers Whiners And Wheasels

-
We all know a Weasel. You know, that person that threatens to take down your organization by using every sleazy tactic in the book to advance their careers regardless of how it effects others. Warriors, Workers, Whiners, and Weasels: The 4 Personality Types in Business and How to Manage Them to Your Advantage by entrepreneur Tim O’Leary takes a refreshing look at the different personalities we encounter and how to handle them. The premise of the book is that essentially everyone fits into one of four personality groups – Warrior, Worker, Whiner, or Weasel. O’Leary defines each as the following: Warriors, who confront change, see possibilities, innovate and manage to win! Workers, who deal with the ups, downs and challenges of everyday corporate life dependably, and who can reliably implement the change and direction established by the Warriors. Whiners, who get through life by complaining about everything they do, who profess negativism and dissatisfaction wherever they go, and bla
