Thread: Where are all the UK posters?

  1. #1

    Default Where are all the UK posters?

    Browsing through the forums, I have noticed that the vast majority of posters are from USA.
    If we may assume that eBid sellers are also eBuyers, I am wondering if I am restricting sales by only shipping to UK.

    Also, I have just read on another thread, that Google rejects any titles in capitals?
    Can anyone confirm this?
    Please not! This means I have to correct all my listings

    Could someone please tell me what a 'tag' is?

    Thank you

    I'm surprised you think the majority of posters are American, it's always been America's contention that we're all British. ;o) It does seem a bit unlikely that US out-numbers UK, to be honest.

    Google does not like all capitals - however, a test earlier this month showed that if headings are done in caps, they reach Google changed into mixed case. I don't know who changes them during the upload, eBid or Google, but somebody is.

    A tag is just a keyword associated with a post.

    LOL --- I believe I see a lot more UK posters than US. After all, the UK had several years' head start. Apparently we're starting to make our presence known!

    Except for Meebo, who usually gets up in the UK around my bedtime. Sometime in the middle of the night there. (wink) I hate the new smilies.

    But you're right . . . not many people posting by 9:00 pm Pacific time.

    wikipeia define a tag as.....

    In online computer systems terminology, a tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system.
