4,59am if you want precise information when items are showing or not so ebid if they choose can go to google then a search at 5.00am is as relevant as 5pm, have you done /repeated the search i did at 5am ? if you have you haven't mentioned it, i have, out of 13 pages you have a result 1 item hornsea pottery page 13, other ebid sellers also have results from the same search and the search is dominated by etsy sellers, i think thats important information you failed to even acknowledge in your last post this information, i wont be searching again,
I have repeatedly said in this thread that my items are visable in the mornings but disappear at U.K. prime time shopping hours late afternoon and evening.
as for the site owner blocking the google search , if that particular search was there before and not there now then of course you deserve an answer,but can you answer it yourself ? is there not a clause that if there are repeated click throughs from google that do not turn into a sale are not the items blocked from uploads, you say "general search" you mean google not GS ? if the former why would ebid block a general up load if it is indeed a upload by ebid rather than a google bott just scavenging information, that would be a problem with the scavenger and its master,
I do mean a 'general' Google search and as I've said before, Google have the information written under the couple of my shops that I can find that :- The page owner blocked this page from Google in a suboptimal way, so we couldn't create a good page description. If you know the site owners, let them know that "robots.txt is blocking Google and can't create a site description in search results". This may also be the reason that my other shops can't be found at all doing a 'general' search, I just don't know as I'm not a techie.
i think the detailed search information is more important than speculation more precise information is needed people need to do more round the clock time checks , i have said myself prime time placements are missing , but not all the time, you say you have not had a sale in a month, well ive not had a sale in 4 months which is unheard of for me, but searching feebay and other market places, what i sell is depressed , more repeated auctions of the same item, reproduction items undercutting price of originals, repeat customers in my case ,(collectors) as maybe for you simply not buying as they have in the past, a flooded market does not entice people to look at other markets they dont need to search for some thing that's already in abundance in there usual market place. as for lack of news many reasons again, who knows is there supposed to be any news as opposed to comments on lack of placements? maybe there's nothing to report news wise, maybe in a quiet time some ones on holiday , of course im speculating here but not in a negative sense, dont fight me sarge im not fighting you im throwing a different spin on this thread to some posts of idle speculation .
