Thanks for the comment - 2 Years ago, I would have said the “ultimate best way” to list search terms for that particular page would be:
“Garmin 3210C GPS Systems,garmin,3210c,gps,system”.
Doing so would definitely net the EXACT term referenced during searches. Since the keyword and description meta tags have been somewhat discounted by search engines in leiu of page content, I have found that using the individual terms works just as good and does not risk getting viewed as keyword stuffing. (Repeating keywords multiple times in one meta tag)

Incidentally, in less than 3 weeks - for Non-Sponsored results:

Garmin 3210c GPS #1 in MSN & Alexa
Garmin 3210c GPS Systems #1 in MSN

Google & Yahoo will follow soon… they always take longer!

On the Wordtracker site they allow you to differentiate between keywords in quotes(key phrase) and keywords without quotes. The idea is that if the keywords are in quotes and your site has that keyphrase, then you show up in the searches higher than someone who targets the words in the phrase.

In the example above you tell him to make a Garmin 3210C GPS page because that nails a keyphrase but in the META keyword you split up thhe phrase into seperate keywords.

Wouldn’t it be better if the keyphrase was left intact? Is the keyphrase in the URL, description and pagename adding more SEO weight to the keyphrase?

It puts the entire thought process and implemetation right there on the screen. No more guessing, nor more “art of seo”, no more “figuring it out”.

I’ve bought e-books with less info than this.

Great review! your insights are really helping out.

Is their any other Keyword Tools you would recommend?

Wordtracker is pretty pricey?

In regard to a visitor buying from you versus eBay… The visitors really arent buying from you, they are finding the products from you, then making the purchase through eBay.

BANS is a great middleware type product in that it allows you, the webmaster, to do the research that most ebay buyers dont do. You design your BANS site to take advantage of those terms and phrases that the ebay sellers never even consider.

I too wondered about it at first, but have found just as many new ebay buyers as existing. In August thus far, I have had approximatey 44 sales transaction total from 2 specific sites. Along with those 44 sales, there were 4 people who signed up for ebay that never used it before!
