Yes this is true actually ebay gives many great ways to promote your items including stores and buying keywords. Both of these methods cost money and don't knock it til you try these services because trust me they are well worth every penny if you use them correctly.

However, this guide was supposed to be about free exposure on ebay, so here we go.

Want more visitors to your auctions?

Want your items displayed to a very targeted audience of viewers who have already pre-qualified themselfes for your product?

And You Probably want it all for free, O.K.

All you need to do is start writing guides like this one and ebay automatically will add items to the right column of your items that relate to the guide you have created.  This is such a great way to get people to look at the righ items and give them something of value at the same time.  Do Not Write Guides On Topics You Are Not Familiar With.  This will only make you look silly and also remember people will review your guide, you dont want bad reviews, do you?

So heres the scratch.  Say you are a computer nerd, write guides about computers and sell computers on ebay.  Then when people are looking for computer stuff in the guides they not only find your guide but your products showcased for free on the side!

Hope You Enjoy Your Free Ebay Visitors!
