14 DAY TRIAL // I bet last time you searched Google for a phrase like "manufacturer model color" you received many results coming from eBay but you didn't realize this. You can try this now and analyze the results.
Why is this happening? Nobody can give an official answer to explain the PageRank boost for eBay. Some people tried to speculate, but Google and eBay refuse to comment.
According to Reuters, one of the primary reasons would be the fact that "EBay was the online winner this "Black Friday," data published on Saturday showed, but overall Internet traffic growth was well below last year's even as bargain hunters tracked down sought-after toys and electronics on the Web before "Cyber Monday."
"EBay Inc. had the most Web traffic on "Black Friday," one of retail's busiest days, with 7.5 million unique visitors," Reuters added.
"EBay reported that 2,537 T.M.X. Elmos were sold Friday for an average price of $70.10. Other popular items on eBay included Sony's PlayStation 3 -- 14,675 have been sold on eBay for an average price of $1,186.39 from November 17 to November 24 -- and the Nintendo Wii. Since that product debuted on November 19, 26,708 have been sold for an average price of $412.53."
