Gig search rankings?

[zarklon]

Hey guys , I’m really confused about this…



I have a gig titled "Perform a glow show to the song of your choice"

and when you search “Perform a Glow” I’m like number 20+ down the page … and even this guy’s gig is ahead of me



"I will call anyone you want and give them some HILARIOUS relationship advice from Balrug, the … for $5"



Now how does this make sense? Many of my other gigs dont even show up in the search results. It’s a wonder anyone ever find’s my gigs to buy them.



Does anyone know how the search algorithms work? What weighs in more , the keywords your gig has or the actual description? Any fiverr veterans care to share on how to word your gig descriptions to show up better in the search results?



Thanks!

I don’t think anyone but Fiverr knows EXACTLY how the algorithm works with certainty. All we can really do is guess. 😦

It bothers me too. My gigs that are more relevant when searching them are not found anywhere… no wonder I don’t have any business in the last tree weeks. 😦

funny, I was going to ask a similar question, my orders come two or three at a time …keeping me busy then nothing since last week?

My orders have slowed down significantly this past week as well. I usually get 2-3 orders a day… It’s been 4 days without an order.



If I can’t type the first 3 words of my gig description in the search box and find my gig’s… then …How would using any relevant keywords make a difference? =/ … I’d love to know what weighs in more with the search algorithms… Gig descriptions or keywords…



Arnevb , where did you find out that they are improving the search function?
