Continuing the lessons I’m learning from the Stompernet Orlando presentation DVDs, this time I have some tips for all you eBay sellers or would be eBay sellers (and you will want to be one after reading this!).

I have to admit I was quite blown away by the eBay presentation by Andrew Lock. I’m not sure if everything he presented is accurate, but it sounds like it could be, and here’s the most startling fact - eBay currently does more daily searches than Google does. Let me say that again. EBay currently does more daily searches than Google does.

What that means is people go to eBay and type in more searches for auctions than the number of searches conducted at Google. I can’t verify that with any accuracy and I don’t know where Andrew is pulling his figures from, but even if it’s not spot-on true, the fact that eBay gets a stupid amount of traffic is what we need to take notice of.

Here’s another good reason to consider the opportunity on eBay. All those searches are product related. Not only does eBay potentially do more searches a day than Google, every eBay search is a product related search by someone looking to buy something - Google certainly can’t lay claim to the same thing. As popular as eBay is already, given this information, I believe it’s the most under realized opportunity on the web for Internet entrepreneurs.

It’s amazing as Internet marketers we spend so much time finding ways to convince Google to send us traffic, while a huge monster source of leads is sitting inside eBay, if we just take the time to learn how to tap it.
