How to SEO Your eBay About Me Page

Building and e-book store and trying to search engine optimize (SEO) it to get it to the top of search engines is almost impossible. E-books, no matter how unique, have been over saturated in search engines. Working on your own to get your e-book store to show up could be a long and grueling road.

What if there was some magically way to shortcut all the hard work and get your name to the top of the search engines? Well, there's not. What there is, are About Me pages on eBay.

Think about it, how many times have you searched for a product and found eBay pages in the results. Let's look at an example:

Type in, "kayaking shirts" in Google. The results around 5 and 6 are eBay ads. This seller doesn't even have an About Me page and look how well placed their ads are. Just think how well placed an search engine optimize (SEO) About Me page would do.

Why do eBay pages rank so high? eBay links and pages hold a lot of weight in search engines. I could go into very specific details, but that would get confusing. Look at this way, eBay has done a majority of the search engine optimize (SEO) work for you. All you have to do is tweak it to fit your e-book stores needs.

Good design

The first step in search engine optimize (SEO) your about me page is good design. Lets say someone click on your about me page that they found in their search for e-books. If they click on your link and end up on some poorly designed page, they are just going to hit the back button and move on. Thus, you need to make sure your about me page looks as nice as your e-book website.

If nothing else, invest in a pre-made about me template. These come fairly cheap on eBay, all you have to do is search out one that is right for you. These template about me pages may limit your ability for search engine optimize (SEO), but they will help you get people to actually check out your page.

What constitutes a good design? That's personal preference really, most people will know good design from bad. Spend some time looking around at others about me pages. Visit the eBay forums; they have an area devoted to about me pages.
