How to Improve your Marketplace Search Results
Sometimes you may not receive the results you anticipate from your search. If your search results are either too slim or too broad, you can improve your results by using the following techniques:
Change Your Terms
- Enter the keywords in quotes. If you want results that include a specific phrase, entering it in quotation marks will reduce the results to that phrase only, not results for each individual word.
- If you enter the keywords with “AND” in between them, the results will only include listings that have both terms.
- If you enter the keywords with “OR” in between them, the results will include listings that have one or more of the terms in them.
- If you enter the keywords with “NOT” in between them, the results will include only listings that exclude the second term but contain the first term.
- If you enter “+” before a keyword, the results will only include listings that contain keyword listed after the “+”.
- If you enter “-“ before a keyword, the results will exclude any listings listed after the “-“.
- If you use parentheses with your keywords, you can do more complicated searches. For example, if you type (golf OR swing) AND help, you will get results that include either golf or swing combined with the word help, such as golf help or swing help.
- Using the character ? will return listings that use keywords where the ? is replaced with a single letter. For example, if you type gol?, you would get results that include golf or gold.
- Using the character * will return listings that use keywords where the * is replaced with multiple characters. For example, if you type gol*, you would get results that include golf, golfing, golfer, gold, golden, etc. This can be very useful for returning listings with related keywords, like the golf/golfer/golfing example.
- Using the character ~ after a keyword will return listings that include keywords that are spelled similarly to the keyword. For example, if you type roam~, it would return listings with keywords such as roams, foam, etc.
Sort Your Results
Once you have completed a search, you can sort your search results by specific search parameters. You can sort results by:
- Rank:
Rank helps affiliates find the best offers based on a combination of factors, including overall sales volume, affiliate-generated sales, and affiliate commissions. - Avg $/Conversion:
This number represents the average commission an affiliate earns for each conversion to the seller's offer, including the earnings from all sales (initial sales, upsells, and rebills). You can specify a minimum and/or a maximum Avg $/Conversion value. - Initial $/Conversion:
This number represents the average commission an affiliate initially earns for each conversion to the seller's offer, not including rebills. You can specify a minimum and/or a maximum Initial $/Conversion value. - Recurring $/Conversion:
This number represents the average commission an affiliate earns for each rebill payment of the seller's product(s). You can specify a minimum and/or a maximum Recurring $/Conversion. - Gravity:
The gravity performance statistic is an approximate, relative measure of how many affiliates have successfully promoted products from an account, with a higher number meaning more conversions. You can specify a minimum and/or a maximum gravity value.
