Plug Your Auctions, request for extra threads please.

[Posbear]

I have 4 shops, I would like a thread available for each shop in the Plug Your Auctions section..
If I have an ongoing thread for each shop. it will get picked up in a Google organic search - if you have suitable keywords in the title.
At the moment, to plug a second shop efectively I need to close the thread for the first shop. Google will still show the link to the first shop, but when clicked it's not there.
With one thread, I can't put enough keywords in the title to cover 4 different shops.
I will soon have a fifth shop and will want to show it on the forum, but I will need to close an established active thread to do so.

If used correctly the PYA forum is a good marketing tool.

This sounds like a first class idea

[FirstGreenIsGold]

Very interesting idea.

[madelaine]

This would only require a change in moderation - it's cost neutral to eBid so perhaps they would consider it?

[Posbear]

I am sure that it would be self-moderated by the members.

Can we have a yes/no from admin for this please

[Posbear]

Bump!

[madelaine]

Hear! Hear!

It would benefit eBid.

If you are uncertain of how powerfull keywords are in a forum title, do a Google organic search for Poscar's Postcards.

I experimented with the keywords in the title..

These phrases get me top of page one in Google.

Poscars postcards
postcards just added
Poscar just added

'just added today' gets me on page 5

So the first 4 words in the title will get picked up for page 1.

If we applied this logic to all of our shops in the Plug Your Auction section using product specific keywords we would all benefit.

I would like to change the title to more product specific words but can't edit it.

Please can we be allowed a thread for each of our shops.?

[Mandart]

Just seen this topic - I'm in agreement too!

You can delete the thread and start a fresh one

That is only a stop gap solution though. Multiple threads would be handy.
