PLEASE, Fix the Search Algorithm! (POLL)

[insects44]

I am back with a bag all of gigs are on first page now you can check on my keyword 🙂

Just edit your gigs and wait for 24 hours + share them on facebook

@sarikaverma007, did you use my SEO method to get on first page? Are you still on first page?

[insects44]

So, this method worked twice for me.

Hi can you tell us again what you did? I scrolled back but gave up after not finding your previous post.

Make sure your tags are what people will search in the search bar. Then:

1. Use tags all separated, no two words in one tag. Try to use synonyms instead of 2-worded tags. This is what I use:

   

2. Use your tags in your title:

   

3. Use more of your tags in your description, without making them way too many (I tried my best to add as many tags as possible without making it too much):

Once you edit a gig, it may disappear from the search for about 24 hours, but you have a chance to get it in front of other gigs once it appears again. If your gig becomes viral (receives a lot of orders), NEVER edit your gig, as it may go back in the search results page.

If this doesn’t work, apply for buyer requests, they may bring someone to you. If there are no buyer requests, stay online more, and refresh the page more often. If you tried to send proposals and never succeed, here are some tips on how to make your offers work:

One piece of advice commonly given to new sellers is to send buyers an offer over buyer requests. However, often people ask how to send a good offer. Here are some tips I compiled from others and from my own experience. -Make sure to add a friendly greeting -Offer a special deal to the customer that they wouldn’t get otherwise -Make sure your grammar and spelling is top-notch -DO NOT use the same offer letter for every customer. You want to customize the offers to their needs. -Add relevant…

ATTENTION, I’M STILL NOT SURE IF THIS METHOD WORKS! It only worked for me by far. If someone else did it and it worked for them too, then this is the way to go!

Hi to all! I´m having worse issues: my Gigs are not showing in searches, category page, with or without filters “online” or “local”. I can access the Gigs from the link (even outside Fiverr), but not even my username shows in the search:

CS respond fast at first inquiry (within 2 days), but was a copy/paste without checking anything.
Now, waiting for response again

I had a viral gig for a couple of years, and I mean viral, and it suddenly went to the back page for quite a long time until I changed the picture. Then it immediately went back to the front page. So it depends on what the problem is. It took me a long time to figure out the problem. I wish someone had simply said “we don’t like your gig image” which would have saved me months of stress.

Right now I have a popular gig my clients love which doesn’t appear well in the ranks and is mostly unseen. I would love to know why it’s not higher in the ranks as it’s always been something that in the past did very well.

Did you check your gig’s status?

[sarikaverma007]

@sarikaverma007, did you use my SEO method to get on first page? Are you still on first page?

I am on last page after ranking on first page for 4-5 hours and now today i got 3 5* reviews but still on second last page no seo trick is working

[bodmas]

@sarikaverma007 The algorithm is dynamic, no way you can outclass the algorithm… Just let the algorithm perform the function on it own.

It’s a typical seo advice, isn’t it?

But it does not work on fiverr. Because here is an algorithm looks like casino’s script. Quality of work, stars, positive reviews, time invested in site, number of regular customer, and especially seo mean absoulutely nothing for every new search (rotation) of this gambling machine.

I have idea why is this, but explanation will be very politicized, so i don’t want to write it.

@toner2d, I would love to hear your explanation! No one explained me how it works! I also don’t know how it works. Also, if it was casino algorithm, then why am I always on first page?

If you want, you can BLUR your explanation with this tool. This way, only people who click on it will see it:

For one thing your video and the thumbnail with it is exceptional. Did you make the video yourself?

[cyaxrex]

Companies decide how to run them.

@humanissocial, well that’s the sad part. We can do nothing to fix it. However, there is hope that they will notice and do something about it.

And what about all the sellers who are happy with how the search works at present, or already figured out how to to avoid getting thrown to the last page? Why do your interests trump theirs?

[lenasemenkova]

I just kind of accepted that my gig goes dead every once in a while. I just go elsewhere and when people ask me if I make websites, I say: “… unfortunately, yes.”

I share the frustration because fiverr is my favorite place to sell but this whole “fix this immediately” campaign won’t work, I’m afraid. The platform works for someone else amazingly well when it doesn’t work for you and vice versa.

I do think that fiverr should borrow the idea from that other site we don’t talk about and implement the “I’m sorry, we’re not looking for more freelancers in X category at the moment” approach. But I also think it’s a bit too late for that. The influx of new sellers should’ve been anticipated at the end of March and it hasn’t happened, apparently.

[misscrystal]

@cyaxrex has a good point. Maybe this is deliberate weeding out of sellers that for some reason they don’t want up front? It may be exactly how they want it. I’m not saying that is it, just postulating.

[d_designer44]

Update, I did all I could. The rest depends on Fiverr:

I have same issue I contacted but still my gig is disappeared from search it has been more than 2 weeks I was on top everything was going good suddenly gig is disappeared even I can’t see my gig anywhere how my customers will see this is seriously big issue

[fittranslate]

I had the same issue with depressed gig in search. I’m level two seller and also have 101 reviews with avarage 4.9stars and my gig was on the first page, but at the start of the month I’m only have orders from permanent buyers, but not new. My gig is on the 11 page from 12 pages at total. I’m also try contact support, but they told that everything works fine.

[insects44]

Yes, I did make my vid by my own. I used a template thought.

[fittranslate]

If you look at the current search issue, then the issue is a Gig’s mess. And there really is no understanding in the ranking, but when I started, about 9 months ago, the main things were the reviews, the average rating, how satisfied the client was, and the percentage of return conversions. Now, something terrible is going on.

Yep, exactly. This is the reason of this topic. I think Fiverr is trying to give newbies a chance, however this is not the way to do so. Or maybe some bug happened while they are trying to do so? I would love to have an explanation of what is going on right now. @toner2d said she knows, hope she explains.

Everyone must have the right to be on the first page. Not someone who Fiverr chose specifically, right?

I’m hope too, but I’m think that it can be bug depend with troubles with impressions, views etc. statistics.

But I also agree with you about chances to newbies, but decrease top sellers in each niche without any objective it’s so bad practice

[bodmas]

The present algorithm rotation is not working based on seller performance again, I see it favoring some kind of sellers over another.

Ever since the bug of the analytics started, I have seen some sellers that have been on first page even till this present moment, TRS inclusive. (They have been on first page for so long even before the gigs analytics issue). why are they not affected by the rotation? Why is it some part of sellers that are affected?.

I’m not disputing about algorithm rotation, but it should have been equally for all sellers to be on rotation.

[cyaxrex]

Everyone must have the right to be on the first page.

No, because quite frankly, most sellers deliver complete and utter garbage. Why should you be on the front page? All your gigs are pretty much identical, you are targeting an over saturated market, and there are other sellers selling similar gigs for more $$$'s.

Why should Fiverr put you on the front page and not someone offering a more diverse range of gigs that will net Fiverr and the sellers in question more money?

You have also proven to Fiverr with this whole "please change the algorithm" petition, that when it comes to the crunch, you choose to moan about how things are unfair (to you) rather than try and find new ways to upscale what you offer here.

There is no logical sense in giving you or any seller a right to be on the front page, sorry.
