Let me state it here... I HATE dealing with eBay categories! LOL This is probably the reason many of my sites were not too affected by the category changes over the past month or so. When I create a new page, there are times I will choose an eBay category from my initial store setup. (Clicking on category, during the page setup, you can choose from your predefined categories you chose during setup) More often than not though, i will simply place a 0 (zero) in the eBay category, and narrow my results with a keyphrase. This tells BANS to search ALL of eBay for the phrase you put in the box. (Narrow search results by reading this post: http://www.thenichestorebuilder.com/8-ways-to-search-ebay-listings-with-different-results.htm) In regard to the banner in the header... I coded that into a set of <a href="http://www.thenichestorebuilder.com/more-free-build-a-niche-store-templates-come-and-get-em.htm" rel="nofollow">Free Bans Templates</a> and it is controlled from the header.php file.

Can you be a little more specific on how to do this? I know how to create a page but how does it actually display the proper category page from ebay? Just by the keywords used? Also, a little off topic but can you tell me how to display 2 ads side-by -side like you have under your header on this site?

When I started I didn't know a log file from a sitemap and still am pretty darn sketchy!! I follow you like a hawk. When you mention adding pages(store) consistantly I remember you always saying "don't get too many and too big". Maybe 10 to 20 category pages. Could you please clarify a bit. Also, when you say add a main category and then sub categories underneath I am having a brain cramp(which is pretty common!!) I add a main category and then what do you mean or how do I add the sub underneath?? Now give me a little break on this long post because I haven't ever bugged you before!!!

I've checked out some of your sites and don't see any trends or anything glaringly obvious that I'm doing differently so I'm leaning towards offpage optimization as the problem. I'm beginning to lean towards the opinion of an over saturated niche but SEO elite suggests I have done enough to rank for the keywords chosen. Perhaps the site needs more time.

I haven't paid too much attention to stats yet but I will start now as I have stores hitting two months old with some getting very few visits.
