PLEASE, Fix the Search Algorithm! (POLL)

[uk1000]

Please read it carefully or don’t read it all. I hope nobody will be offended by this.

Sorry for my poor english.

I will try to explain fiverr search, and why i call it randomizer, from political point of view and left political agenda, which tells that everyone are equal or should be equal. It doesn’t mean that i try to involve here any controversial topics such as gender, race, nationality and etc. I don’t mean that at all. I respect each other and want you to do that too.

All i want to say: fiverr algorithm was written like: top rated sellers are equal to newbies, sellers with bad ratings are equal to seller with good ratings, gigs with seo are equal to gigs without seo and so on. That’s why gigs are always rotating in random way. A kind of socialism where everyone is equal and noone can become a champion in this race. All can be on the first page for little period.

But is this system good for any market or any participant? No, in my opinion, it’s compeletly wrong.

Is such a system beneficial to at least for someone, pro sellers, new sellers, buyers, fiverr itself? I don’t think so.

Is professional, that has many reviews and know his job, equal to someone with 0 reviews? Of course they are not. But fiverr says - yes, they are completely equal. What does this lead to?

Sellers that work hard and provide good services for years don’t see the great increase of their profits, should fight on forum and with CS.

New sellers do not have role motivational models. They don’t compete, they don’t looking for new niches and etc. They suddenly start to get orders, but it’s not their merit. It’s random success, which stop soon, when fiverr algorithm will go to new circle. Do they became better as professonals? I don’t think so.

Do buyers recieve the best services they can for their money? Again, i don’t think so. Randomizer don’t let them to find the real talent, that deserved to be find.

And fiverr can’t say: this guy do this thing better than all people on earth. It’s our guy from ourmarketplace, he is a real master, he is great talent. There is 1500000 orders in queue prepaid. He is so good, that buyers are ready to wait for months to work with him. LOL.

I’m not a talent, i’m just average seller, but i want to see on first page many talents of my niche to say: WOW, HOW DID HE DO IT, WORKS OF THIS GUY ARE F*CKIN AMAZING. And compete him with hard working. Instead of that there are multiple numbers of newbies on first pages. Because all are equal. But they are don’t. Everybody knows it. Messi is not equal to the guy, that bought the ball yesterday for the first time. Rock band with 20 years of touring is not equal to the band that nobody heard of. Developer that works for big company for years can’t be equal to junior developer. We are not equal as professionals and never will be. It’s an absurd. But anyway it’s sad reality of fiverr’s search.

BTW Is there any options to show to the world new sellers without this idea of economic equality and destroyment of search algorithms? Yes, of course. But it’s different story.

I don’t think Fiverr treats all sellers/gigs equally in the search results (it can’t be totally random). eg. searching for “logo” seems to always currently show around 4 studio gigs and 4 rising talent gigs on the first page of results. It also often shows a “Fiverr’s Choice” gig on the first page The rising talent and Fiverr’s Choice gigs are ones they’re definitely promoting over others.

When I last searched they showed 4 Pro gigs on the first page. Since there are a low percentage of Pro gigs (only around 0.03420% of logo gigs are pro verified), the chances of 4 Pro gigs being shown continuously on the first page by chance alone has got to be very low when there’s about 163,673 logo gigs.

So they must be promoting some gigs over others (eg. Pro, Fiverr’s choice, rising talent, studio gigs).

At the end of April and the beginning of March, my gig started really taking off. I was getting 1-2 orders a day instead of 1-2 a week or even a month. I foresaw it getting too busy (I’m a proofreader so I can only do so much), so I put my gig on a 3 order limit. It hit that limit for a day, then went below again, although I haven’t had an empty queue since. Now, here is where the oddness comes in. From the moment the order limit activated, I haven’t had a single message, a single order (by someone who isn’t a repeat buyer), and all my activity has dropped like a rock. This is very strange to me, because it was picking up so incredibly quickly the two weeks before. It’s around the time the analytics disappeared, though that might be unrelated.

Is this a thing that happened due to the order limit I put in place? Does my gig need to hit 0 orders for it to be “reactivated”? I ended up turning the limit off, but still, not a single word for the past month. Thankfully, I can survive on my repeat buyers, but this is very unnerving to someone who’s only been on this platform since January.

I have never used the search algorithm much to look at my own gigs, so sadly I can’t say much about that, but I assume my gig disappeared from that as well.

Something similar happened to me.

Since I’ve activated the order limit, my sales have dropped.

My Gig was doing well before, but right now I’m only getting orders from my repeat buyers.

I’m not sure, though… whether this is related or not to the order limit.

Hopefully, we will get some new orders soon 🙂

Please mates copy this link and send it to fiverr customer service the algorithm needs to be fixed.we are working hard and our gigs shouldn’t be sent to the back just like that!

There is no point in creating a new topic to highlight a previous topic. Fiverr has always rotated gigs to allow new and old sellers to get exposure alike. It’s how Fiverr works and you can’t get around that. It’s in Fiverr’s best interest to allow new sellers the chance of sales as well as old sellers.

Hey man, I’m not new to fiverr. I know gigs are being rotated.but this is a big problem with the algorithm. I even have a friend who just opened a new account on fiverr and after a week his gigs was sent to the back. It’s almost 3 months now and nothing. Mind you he is active

That could be for any number of reasons. Fiverr haven’t bashed together their algorithms without thought, the algorithms work for them as they are running a service to BOTH sellers and buyers. See: Fiverr myths debunked

My gig was sent to the back after I verified my 🆔

Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. If it is I doubt Fiverr would be unaware of it especially considering there are issues with gig statistics at the moment.

It is not malfunctioning, it’s working the way it is supposed to be. I will explain how it works in 10 hours. Don’t worry, just have patience, I will also share the solution.

Perhaps after verification your country of residence was attached to your account and that effected the algorithm. Are you looking on private browsing or just from your own Fiverr account? The algorithms change on so many variables for different users, their viewing history, their location and many many more things, it’s not just SEO that effects searching.

To me I don’t think there’s any issue with the statistics. They are just trying to manage the site and not to allow people get access to their stats because of the increased number of sellers due to covid19

If you post a magical “solution” to the algorithm on the forums, Fiverr will likely change it. The sellers are not meant to know the alogirthm and how they work so you can’t cheat the system. If the solution was made available it would be unfair on sellers who offer genuine gigs but don’t know what to do with the solution or just haven’t seen it.
