Keyword spammers probably think they will get more bidders by doing that, but in fact it might even backfire. Personally, when I see a listing that goes like this: "GT Mallet Stem CW Revcore Hutch GT JMC Kuwahara" I immediately think "stupid spammer" and I move on. Usually, people who post stuff like that are selling crap anyways, because if you have good stuff, you won't need 50 unrelated keywords to sell it. JMO

Well put! I hate key word spammers.

Why doesn't the title read "FYI: Don't keyword spam in your Ebay listings" as that's what you got dinged for?

This thread title is misleading, now I'm looking at a thread about keyword spam instead of JMC stuff... wait... DANGIT! You're at it again!

This is a good ship shape post. Item should be what it is. Exception: when a company morphed into another.

You should wash your mouth out with a douche for insulting Jim Melton! Jim is one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
Jim owns the JMC name and has every right to have a listing like that removed.

You are correct. I opened my mouth too soon. I thought this was concerning a different member know to cause mayhem here. My apologies!

Only put JMC in your title if there is an actual JMC part or bike you are selling. Otherwise, don't use words that don't apply to what you're selling.

Capn_Crunch · 2011-09-13 6:54pm

Yup, dik move... spamming chit up...

bikehustler · 2011-09-13 6:58pm

I am surprised "other" bike company owners are not jumping on this like Jim did, I agree with it totally, I am looking for stuff, I got to filter out other crap that I dont care to read about....

I totally agree!

Remember that not all persons shopping eBay for old school Bmx parts are "experts" on the subject like everyone here and actually learn about old brands they've never heard of. I've learned that way for years about vintage stereo equipment and all sorts of other things, including brands of defunct Bmx parts makers. It's all about maximizing your earning potential.

Good idea to piss off everyone here with your spam!

Actually, that's not what I wrote. That's just how the forum "translates" it for sensitive folk... I wish it hadn't translated it, because this thread touched a nerve and deserves the full extent of foul language!

Learning about other brands or educating new members to the hobby is what this and a few other sites are all about. Ebay is a marketplace for buying and selling. I highly doubt someone looking for a 78' Motomag is going to see your auction and go, oh he put Skyway in the title, I better search ebay for those and learn more about them. All it does is piss the people off that are looking for JMC, Skyway. GT etc and find your motomag with nothing to do with those brands.

If you want to maximize your earning potential, take good quality pictures, notice the time/day your auction ends and describe you item the best and most honest way possible.

One of our very own members here is hocking repro or "tribute" stuff on ebay using keyword spamming like Cooks Bros, CBR, CW ect while the product has nothing to do with those companies except using their old designs. You can find his items here for sale too so I'll let you all do the detective work.
