Ebay Pulse, offers a a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks and cool stuff on eBay. You can find it at: http://pulse.ebay.co.uk

One of the benefits of eBay pulse is it allows you to see some of the most popular keywords which members are searching for.

If you find a large number of users searching for a term that is relevant to your item, it would be wise to include the term in the title of your auction. By default when a member searches on eBay, the system only searches for the specified keyword in item titles - not in the item description.



Ebay pulse also allows you to see the most searched for keywords in each ebay category. You can select this by selecting the relevant category from the pull down menu.



On some categories you can choose to go deeper, viewing the popular keywords in sub-categories.



If used correctly. you can use eBay pulse to drive more traffic to your auctions. Remember to only include terms within your ebay auction title if the term is relevant to your item. Otherwise, you run the risk of eBay pulling your auction for keyword spamming.

Nice work!

It's also worth keeping an eye out for the pulse across different ebay sites such as ebay.com, ebay.com.au etc - to pick up regional variations of keywords for the same item.

We did some research using the sellathon tool at sellathon.com on custom computers. Interestingly, most people used the category search - only 15% typed in a keyword to search

That is interesting, traditionally it's been the other way round with most people doing an eBay keyword search. Perhaps we're seeing a change then in the way people use eBay.

Hey Mark,

A pretty good tip there, and so right you really can drill down and pinpoint what sub niches are hot within the broader markets, then drill right down to the most popular products within them niches, BUT the best thing to do then is source a very simular product from a wholesaler and sell them especially if these hot sellers are branded they pull in a lot of traffic, but because yours is non branded, you can sell it cheaper stealing the crowd!

That is if you list it in the same categories as the other sellers, and to take it one or two steps further, look at the best of the best sellers listings of the branded version check out how they list their products in detail , from title, description and policies, then translate this to your own listing structure without copying it directly, and for the title use the same keywords they use at the start of your title this is known as "Frontloading", this will help pull your product up high in the best match search results, people do not realise that best match is the default search results format now, tap into it, but it all starts with "eBay Pulse"!
