What makes a gig goes up or down in ranking and views?

What are the ways to sway the system of a gig going up in list ranking (except numbers of sales and rating)? Does make editing/updating a gig any difference? What else?

Do you mean delivery within the self chosen deadline?

Quick delivery itself does not say much, usually it depends on the product.



Most customers say they are not in a hurry. Myself also when I buy, usually I don’t want things fast, I want it good.

Reply to @alw1nl: Of course it should be good. I’m talking about both good and fast.



My deadline is set on 5 days, but I deliver faster than that, usually within 24 hours (unless I have a long queue of orders). Whenever I deliver quickly (sometimes within a few hours), I notice that my gig got higher in list ranking. I realize that quick delivery itself doesn’t mean much, it’s just what I’ve noticed.

Same here, I usually deliver the same or next day and sometimes in just a few hours or even minutes.



Just discovered something wrong with the system: today I have set my deadline on 7 days. Above the gig now it shows ‘7 Days On Average’ that is total nonsense, nothing ‘average’ here, it should show the average REAL delivery time, which is around 1 day.

Reply to @alw1nl: It’s like that for everyone. If you set the deadline on (number of days), that’s what will be shown as average, even if you deliver in a few minutes. I’ve heard that the “average” increases if you often deliver after the deadline, but I can neither confirm it nor deny it.



It’s not the only wrong thing in the system. When a buyer requests modification, you don’t get a message like “Hey, this is great, I just need a minor revision”, you get the message that the buyer rejected your work. Or, the system auto-completes the order after 3 days, and the notification states that the buyer marked the order as complete, even though the buyer haven’t looked at the work you sent them yet.
