The Title is Everything

An Effective Title is Critical to Your Success
One of the most common mistakes beginning sellers make is not working hard enough on their auction titles. Most auctions are found using search techniques. You only have 45 characters to make an impact. Don't waste them. Try to create a title that makes sense, but cram as many "buzz words" into your title as possible to let the search engines find your listing. For example, if you were selling the info in our PC Performance section on a CD, you wouldn't say "Make your computer run faster". You only have one over used buzz word... computer. You might say "MAKE_ANY_
WINDOWS_PC_RUN_LIKE_2 GHZ_MONSTER!!" See all the buzz words shown in red. Okay, maybe not MONSTER, but you get the picture.

Search Term Suggestion Tool
Need some suggestions for "popular" words to use in your titles? Well, how about using some of the terms people search for most! The search term tools actually is designed to look for popular words to bid on in "pay per click" programs, but just ignore the "bidding" part. It's also a great tool for helping you put popular terms in your titles, so bidders will find your ads.
