Many eBay sellers assume that because they've listed their item on eBay then the traffic automatically comes. eBay is one of the most visited sites on the web but that also results in a greater amount of competition. There are some methods that you can use to attract huge amounts of traffic to your eBay store and auctions for free and the results far outweigh the initial effort.

The first method, and possibly the easiest, is maximising the power of forums. Most forums permit you to use a signature after each of your messages and in this signature you can include text or links. Most prefer to link to their websites for advertising purposes, but to market your auction listings then you should link to your eBay store or your higher valued eBay items. If you post in numerous forums then you can attract a great deal of traffic to your store. To completely maximize the potential you should regularly post in forums related to the eBay items you sell. If you sell fitness equipment, then you should post in forums related to health and fitness.

The second method is using the power of viral articles. An article is normally 400-1000 words and is used to educate or inform the reader. Below the article you include what is called an "Author Resource Box" or "Author Bio" where you can include links. In your author bio box you could include links to your eBay store or specific items. Articles can then be freely distributed to article directories and some readers may follow the link to your eBay sore in the author resource box. A good article could be read by thousands of potential buyers and even be picked up by newsletter owners and website owners who republish your work with your author resource box included. This further increases your eBay stores' exposure.

The final method is creating a viral report. This is like a short eBook or long article. If you write a report about a subject related to your eBay auctions then you can include links to your store in the report and many readers will follow your links. By writing a report about a similar subject to your eBay auctions, you can drive targeted traffic of buyers interested in your products. Again, we'll use the example that you sell fitness equipment. You could write a report about a number of things including, " How to Choose the Perfect Treadmill" or "15 Creative Ways to Get Fir Using an Exercise Bike" or "How to Build Your Own Home Gym for Under $1000!" There are literally hundreds of reports you could author and you can easily distribute hundreds or even thousands of copies for free. You could even sell it if you think it's of real value to your readers.
