Treasures By Brenda, An eBay Power Seller

I have finally published my latest lens — Recipe For Finding Good Cookbooks — it gave me plenty of difficulty.

Most importantly, there was the subject of content. I wanted to do a Squidbid lens to support the large number of cookbooks that I have for sale in my eBay store, Treasures By Brenda but I wanted there to be great content as well. I finally came up with the angle of providing guidelines for purchasing good cookbooks. I think the suggestions I found are helpful and am pleased that the lens has allowed me to showcase many great cookbooks.

Even the title was difficult. I wanted to use ‘good cookbooks’ because I think people might search for ‘good cookbooks’ and the lens might receive more hits than one with just ‘cookbook’ would. I know that titles are very important to search engines. Some of the titles I considered were:

How to find good cookbooks.
How to find a perfect cookbook.
Recipe for a good cookbook.
Recipe for the perfect cookbook.
Recipe for finding good cookbooks.
Recipe for finding perfect cookbooks.

I wonder what the best choice is from the perspective of search engines.

I think that the recommendations on how to find a good cookbook are great but the most interesting part of the lens may be the Hard-To-Find and Rare Titles at Auction on EBay Right Now section in which there is currently a cookbook with more than 20 bids selling for $257. It will be interesting to see what the final price is on this book as well as to see what other items the eBay RSS feed deposits here in the future. Please note the cookbook referenced in this paragraph has sold for $257.

I hope I will be able to help many people with their cookbook purchases because of this lens!

P.S. Instead of creating this blog as a post, I created it as a page…and managed to delete it when I tried to change it to a post so this is the second time I had to write this note. (Hopefully, that is not a sign of how this lens will perform!)
