ebay Tip: How to Word Your Auction

eBay can be a great way to make extra money, and for some, has become a full time income.

Regardless of what type of income you are looking for from eBay, why not make each listing worth as much as possible.

One simple tip for doing so, is using "keywords" in your listing. "Keywords" are highly searched words on search engines. The use of these "keywords" will bring more traffic to your listing, which can potentially mean more bids, more customers, more money!

Where to get "keywords"

Since Google is one of the most popular search engines, I recommend using google's keyword tool.

How to use "keywords"

If your listing is for a antique clock, then type in "antique clock" on the google keyword tool, enter in the "captcha" information, and then click the "Get keyword ideas" button:

This will display a list of common searches done for the previous month related to the phrase that you entered.

If you click on the Local Search Volume link once, it will sort out the list with the highest amount of searches being on top. You want to use as many of these as you can in your listing to bring in more traffic.

However, you don't want to just enter the phrases themselves, you want to incorporate these phrases into your listing, and make them sound natural. I recommend using not only some of the highest search phrases, but some of the lowest as well, to get that specific customer's attention.
