I just tried to search google with some of the key words used in my listings. And nothing is showing up. None of my listings, not even my store name. I was wondering why? Can anyone help me with this?:(

Hey Crafty,,I do know for a fact that it can take up to a few DAYS for your items to begin
to show up in search engines. We DO submit them..You will be there, you'll see!! :D

I signed up and started listing last week. So there should be a few things showing up now. Shouldn't there?

Well..perhaps so..let me go check for mine, as well. :)
Thanks, Tazz

We submit to Google Base/Froogle twice a week. So if you have any items with buy out enabled, they would show there.

Your store pages can get indexed very quick, or sometimes it can take a while. If you just opened a store and placed say 20 items in it, it would probably take 3-4 weeks (or longer) to get indexed. As your store link is buried 10-20 pages deep on the store pages, and deeper site pages get indexed less often.

To get more exposure for your store, you will need to build link popularity for your store... Which means having links in various places that direct to your store. You can do this by adding your link to your signature here in the community, starting a blog here with your store link, placing links on other sites for your store, etc.

If you opened a store with say one item in it, but you started posting here in the community and had a link to your store in the signature... You would most likely get indexed in just a couple days, as the search engines love to play in our community. The more links you have to your store, the better your store will look to the search engines.

So we recommend getting a store link in your signature, and becoming active in the community. For every post in the community, that would be another link to your store.

I have a banner for my store but it's not a link to my store.
How do I do that?:confused:
