Question
CobaltLady (Mike)
Have you done any research comparing keywords/adwords vs OCM classifieds, etc? So far we have found the classifieds to be 1) easy 2) inexpensive 3) quick to get googled 4) did I mention easy???
We have had good results with the classifieds... although our website is...

GW4M I remember using classifieds just for the purpose you mention. here classifieds get great SERPS in Google. If I remember the secret is in the "title" make max use of all the spaces allowed with keywords that pertain to your product and forget the "rare" "look" "vintage" words in your title. If your website is not doing well be sure to put a link in your classified ads description to bring in visitors. This by the way is about the cheapest advertising I know of other than the organic serps.
New subject: I thinking out a thing that happened to me the other day. I have a subject I'm very interested in. I applied for a "Google alert". What that does is send me a email if something new turns up in Google about the thing I'm interested in. I get an "alert" about once a week. I'm looking for updated website stuff. Well anyway I got an alert and it was a expired Ebay auction which I had been watching so I knew what it was. What was odd about this was it was the first and only Ebay auction I got a alert for. I'm trying to figure out how that happened.

lol... I just can't seem to add "rare" "look" or "vintage" to any of my titles! my college buddies used to call my writing "terse"... for googling, it's a compliment... it wasn't when I was in school...

Possibly they got a "new" type of feed from eBay that had historical data in it... or perhaps they just got a "bad" feed... one with errors...
