Hints and Tips for Running a Successful Alert
Here are some helpful hints and tips so you can get the most out of your daily alerts.
- Be specific: If you add very general words you will get very general results. ie. If you are looking for a "TV" be a little more specific. What size? What brand? What price? A good method for these types of searches is this: 42" plasma tv (sony, jvc, philips) which would give you all 42" plasma that are either sony, jvc or philips.
- Don't search for two items at once: If you are looking for a "tent" and a "sleeping bag" don't try and put them both in the same alert, otherwise you will only be getting results with BOTH of these keywords in it.
- Use negatives: By putting a - in front of a word it will exclude any results with that keyword. This is a very good technique for eliminating items that you don't want. ie. If you are looking for an "ipod video" and simply type "ipod video" into the search you will get items such as "cases" and "skins" as well. But if you put -cases -skins you will take any listings with these words out and make your search alot more targeted.
- Use the options if possible: If you know what price you are prepared to pay put in a minimum and maximum price. This will then only give you results in your price range. Also make sure you search in description as well to find items that may only have the keywords here.
