mjensen415 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Hi Doers!Some of you may have noticed some… strange things happening to your searched Gig placements in the marketplace. Not to fear, we’re running some tests on the search placement algorithm in order to best maximize placement for all Gigs.The goal of these tests is to make sure that we’re surfacing the best Gigs for the intended search. For example, we don’t want to show Gigs that are not active, sellers who are on vacation, etc, etc. We’re weighing a multitude of factors for these tests and not one specific aspect of a Gig is the focus.We are constantly working to improve the marketplace and appreciate your patience while we work to make the marketplace even better for sellers!Please post any questions you have below and we will do our best to address any concerns you have about these marketplace upgrades.

Do you have any estimated time-frame for when things will finally calm down? Are there any new criteria for gig rankings you can share with us, now or at a later date?Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoinfinnegan Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 While I appreciate the update and it sounds like a positive move, it would have been great to know in advance. I am sure there was a level of the unknown for staff about this, as with any testing period, many sellers who are used to higher placings have suddenly seen orders drop substantially. With advance notice, they could have scheduled holidays, other activities etc during the time it is running. Even just the knowledge of testing being underway would have settled a lot of nerves.Like I say, the improvements sound great and I look forward to them being implemented.

ssj1236 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 No, I will just do paid adverts for 5-10 days.Yeah, that’s a better idea.Talking about spamming, @mjensen415 is anyone working on fixing the buyer requests section? I don’t use them anymore but someone needs to stop sellers from posting their own services in the BRS and make it easier for buyers. We’ve seen more than a few buyers asking us in the forum why the details for their projects were not accepted. Sorry, for piling this all on you.

gkzaman Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I keep the record all of my work for the last three years. It gives me a good idea about my selling. If I compare to the last year April with this year April, I lost almost 50% of my sales. I was worried about it. Now I knew the reason. Great relief! Thanks for the message. I hope everything will be OK soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
