Foreword
Here are some of my favorite unedited quotes from my clients, and
why you should listen to me:
“Dana’s copy secrets WILL convert 20-50% more visitors into paying
customers.”
“It’s been less than 12 hours since implementing Dana’s copy on our
Amazon listing and we are ALREADY seeing an increase in our conversion!
I was skeptical at first, but I am MORE than pleased and this investment
will literally pay for itself before I wake up tomorrow morning.”
“Dana is simply amazing! From his experience, talent and intuition,
he can craft the best copy possible for your project. I really don’t know if
anyone could have done a better job.”
“HOLY CRAP! This is GREAT! After reading what Dana wrote for me, I
literally had to stop working and walk off my excitement. This is
FANTASTIC copywriting! He took one of the most boring things in the
world and made it positively SING. Dana gets into your prospects mind
and plays it like a fiddle. Wow!”
“Your copy changes increased the number of products sold per day by
42%…in 1 day! NOTHING else I’ve seen so far has resulted in such an
increase. Even price changes haven’t altered conversions this much.
Absolutely stunning!”
“Holy Moses Dana! You turned something that I didn’t like at all into
something that I love! How did you do that? Are you a magician? I’ll be
proud to show this off!”
“Dana’s copy turns READERS into BUYERS!”
Strap up your helmet, buckle up. You’re in for a ride.

Chapter One:
Is My Attitude Right For Success On Amazon?
ave you had your listing text (copy) optimized? Who
wrote the copy for your listings?
You could be missing out on potentially thousands (or tens of
thousands) of dollars in lost revenue because:
A: Your listings aren’t attracting as much traffic they could be
because they’re lacking the proper keywords in the right
places
B: Your listings aren’t converting as much of the traffic
(turning browsers into buyers) as they should be because your
listings aren’t written in a way that’s compelling or benefit-
driven enough to convince someone who is browsing to push
the “Add to Cart” button.
If you haven’t invested in having your listings written by a
qualified copywriter who specializes in Amazon listings…I
would highly, highly recommend trying it. This could be one of
the best investments you make this year. Do a test with just
one listing, first, and compare the difference before having
them all rewritten.
H
8
Not sure just what having your listings optimized can do?
Here’s some proof of what I’ve been able to do for clients:
In just two days flat…this client literally saw an increase of 38%
in his sales.
That increase is with absolutely NO outside promotion, NO
price difference, and NO other changes besides my copy
versus his.
That resulted in an increase of $1,819.01 PER DAY.
Do the math… That’s $56,389.31 MORE money this client
made EVERY SINGLE MONTH because of having an optimized
listing!
9
See how important optimizing your listing can be, and how
much money is most likely being left on the table?
For those who aren’t quite earning that much, here’s another:
Within 24 hours of implementing my optimization on his
listing, this client’s sales jumped from ~$140 to $424.20.
That’s an increase of 154% (from his BEST day that week) in
sales…in just 24 hours!
How much better would you feel if your Amazon business
literally doubled overnight?
“Within 24 hours of updating my listing, my
category bestseller ranking has jumped from 16k to 9k after
updating to include your optimization tips and raising the
price $2 per bottle. What makes this even cooler is that
unfortunately my product has received 2 one star reviews in
the last 24 hours, but the ranking is still improving and sales
are still coming in. I’m VERY happy with the results and would
10
definitely recommend your optimization secrets to anyone
who wants to increase conversion and sales!”
…that was the email I received from my client after trying just
a few of my optimization secrets on his listing against the one
he had written himself.
Before we begin even thinking about writing our listing,
though, let’s take a second to get our mindset about selling on
Amazon correct. This is especially helpful if you’re a new
seller.
The first thing to take note of is that Amazon is a brutally
competitive, cut-throat place to sell. Don’t be discouraged or
frightened, but come knowing what you’re getting yourself
into.
Some people who compete against you may take the low road
and will do just about anything they can to make a dollar.
They may try to blow the whistle on you for something that
you didn’t even realize you were doing wrong; they may hire
people to buy your products and leave 1 star reviews; they
may even write false reviews about your business or products
online.
11
But, the good news is that you and I are smarter than them,
and we’ll beat those “wannabes” using good, ethical
strategies.
As you already know, there are countless benefits and riches
to be made by selling on Amazon. In order to claim your share
of these riches and have this insane success that you’ve seen
or heard about, we have to keep several things in mind at all
times; before, during, and after we write our listing:
1. The copy on your listing, in my opinion, after my own
intensive research and case studies, is the single most
important aspect of your listing…ceteris paribus
2. Always look at things in the perspective of your
customer, NOT your own, NOT anybody else’s
3. Make sure that you’re doing everything for a specific
purpose, and not making “blind guesses”
4. Make sure that you’re ALWAYS measuring your results,
and THAT is what is driving your decision making
Sounds easy, right?
Well, you’re about to learn that all those things can be easily
overlooked as you find yourself lost in your writing, you start
doing things just to get them done, and you make decisions
based off of the “next big opportunity” or what you read
fifteen minutes prior. I know firsthand how distracting and
12
difficult selling on Amazon can be, so just remember the
above four ‘success forcing’ rules and you’ll be just fine.
Before anything else, think about what got you here in the
first place…
Why did you decide to start selling on Amazon?
Was it to supplement your income?
Was it to live the dream of being an entrepreneur?
Was it to secure a source of retirement income?
Was it to help pay for your child’s college tuition?
Was it to quit your job and live life on YOUR terms?
Seriously, think about it for a minute. What brought you
here? Whether it was two weeks ago or two decades ago,
think about when you first decided you were going to dive into
becoming an Amazon seller. “To make more money” or “To
have more time” are just scratching the surface…
Why are you REALLY selling on Amazon?
Got an answer? Write that down somewhere…
I don’t mean something generic like “To make money”.
Something meaningful. Once you identify this goal and you’ve
written it down, it’ll be a whole lot easier for you to achieve
13
it. I won’t get into the psychology of why that is, for time’s
sake, so just do it.
No matter the reason, don’t lose sight of what got you here.
Like anything, there will be ups and downs. Keeping focused
on the goal that’s laid out in front of you could be what gets
you there quicker and with less hiccups along the way. That,
and taking advice from experts whom have actually walked
the walk, then learning from their triumphs and failures.
(Trust me, it’s a lot cheaper and less stressful that way).
I’ve learned that life tends to lead you in a ton of different
directions, but building toward where you’re headed
tomorrow, next month, and next year will be an incredibly
important launching pad for your success. If you don’t know
where you’re headed, then you need to figure that out and do
it now. Outsource and delegate any tasks you can. Don’t
become complacent, or just go through the motions without
REALLY knowing what you’re doing.
We know that we’re here for a reason and where we’re
headed…let’s get there!
15
Chapter Two:
Let’s Tap Into The Mind Of My Customer…
…It’ll Make Selling A LOT Easier.
ou’ve seen them… They’re the listings with short, three
word bullets that point out obvious product features.
They’ve got the mashed-up description that goes into
scientific detail about the product that makes little to no sense
to you. Maybe you’re even guilty of having one of those
listings. But, it’s okay…it’s not really your fault.
There are far more poor listings than good ones…which is
fantastic news for you (and me)…because that’s an
opportunity for us to cash-in on our competitors ignorance.
Take the copy and optimization of your Amazon listings
seriously, this is a critically important aspect of your listing
(even more so than price, reviews, images, or anything else
that goes into your listing).
Let’s think about something critically important for a second…
Why do people go to Amazon, anyway? Okay, it seems
obvious but it is almost always overlooked…
Y
16
I estimate about ninety percent of people go to Amazon with
a legitimate intent to purchase a particular product during
their visit. The other ten percent go there to browse prices,
create a wish list, or just see what’s out there.
What we do know, for sure, is what they are NOT there for.
What aren’t they there for?
They’re not there for entertainment.
They’re not there to learn (unless they’re buying something
that helps them learn).
Simply put, they’re there because they want to buy
something, and Amazon is an easy place to compare their
options and get what they need.
I know what you’re thinking… “Duh, I already know that”. But,
let me quickly illustrate the importance of really grasping onto
this concept…
Let me give you an easy example.
Jerry is a retired UPS Driver who, as age seems to catch up to
him, is starting to experience some joint pain. He doesn’t
17
want to go to a doctor or do any sort of physical therapy, he
wants a quick fix that doesn’t cost a whole lot.
However, like most consumers with problems they want
solved, he has literally no idea what he could do to solve this.
Where does he go to find his solution?
Perhaps to a medical journal or respected website.
How about to a buddy of his who was complaining about the
same thing a few months prior.
These are all likely places he would turn to for a solution.
Does he go to Amazon right away? No. Not at all.
What would he even type in as he searched?
Maybe he could type in “joint pain” and some different
products would show up, but Amazon is not the place that
people go for information this early on in the buying
process…it’s the place they go for products once they’ve made
up their mind.
To make sense of that, what many sellers do wrong is they try
to educate their potential customers in the copy of their
18
listings…instead of selling. This is a HUGE reason why some
listings perform so much better than others.
The space in your listing is simply too valuable to be wasting
it with “educating” your customers. I’ll delve into this in more
detail later…back to the example.
At this point, Jerry has basically no idea what his options even
are to relieve his joint pain, so he decides to go to Google for
some help. He types in a quick search on Google for “Joint
pain relief”, and bam…he’s in business.
At this point, Google will hopefully direct him to trusted
information that’ll provide him with a recommendation for a
solution that he’s looking for.
Jerry is a bit further along in the process of becoming a
consumer as he’s done his research and found out that people
with similar joint pain have been having great success using
Fish Oil supplements.
Now, after doing some research, he wants to try Fish Oil.
Where will Jerry go to find the Fish Oil to buy? Amazon.
What’s most important, here, is to understand what mindset
people are in when they reach your Amazon listing. They’re
19
NOT looking to research the product; they’re looking to BUY
it.
In other words, in this example, Jerry doesn’t need to know
the reasons why he needs fish oil; he’s already set on buying
it. He knows why he needs fish oil. Don’t tell him why he
needs fish oil.
This is one of the single most critical mistakes I see on Amazon
listings, causing millions of dollars in lost revenue for sellers.
Now…how can we relate this to you and your product listing?
Put shortly, your customers are coming to your listing ready
to buy, not ready to be educated or told why they need the
product you’re selling –they already know they need it.
They already have the information they need to make the
decision that they need the product, now they’re on Amazon
looking for the cheapest price, the product with the best
reviews, the most potent or strongest formula, the best value
for their money, etc.
Unfortunately, most of the copy on Amazon listings is
centered on why a person should buy THE product, and not
why they should buy THEIR specific product.
20
You see, when a seller writes their Amazon listing trying to
convince potential customers why they need the product
itself, they’re not doing any selling. You HAVE to have distinct,
powerful, and beneficial differentiation as YOURS being
bigger, better, stronger, faster, or whatever the case may be.
Without that, you’re just as well promoting your competitors
products as you are your own.
Do you see the difference?
Your listing has literally seconds to grab and hold your
potential customer’s attention, AND convince them to buy
right now. Once they’re gone, they’re gone and probably not
coming back. Being subtle and gentle does not work, you have
to be fairly aggressive in your approach.
Here’s another quick example…
Picture a display of energy shots sitting on the shelf at the
checkout line of your favorite gas station. You’ve had a long
day and need a little get-up before your evening drive. You’ve
made the decision to buy an energy shot. You don’t need any
further convincing why you need an energy shot. At this
point, you’re looking for the best deal, the strongest amount
of caffeine, the best quality, the safest, etc.
21
You’re checking out at the gas station and have literally ten
seconds to decide which one you’re going to go with. You
don’t want to stand in line any longer than you have to.
If they could talk, here’s what the energy shots would be
saying, “Choose me, I’ve got the most caffeine”… “Pick me,
I’m the healthiest”… “Go with me, I’m full of clean energy that
won’t give you jitters”… and “Pick me, I’m the cheapest and
taste the best”.
In that ten seconds, you decided to go with the one that had
the clean energy that wouldn’t give you jitters because you
wanted to be awake but not too riled up for your drive.
Do you think it would have been wise for these products to
have spent that critical time explaining to you why you
needed an energy shot when you already knew that? How
about if they would have subtly and gently told you how their
company is so great and they harvest their ingredients in such
and such manner that’s good for the environment? Sorry, but
no.
All you cared about at that moment was a quick and simple
solution to your problem. Nothing more and nothing less.
That’s exactly what it’s like on Amazon. You’ve got limited
time, space, and attention spans…so you better give them
22
reasons to buy and give it to them quick. If you don’t, you’re
leaving an enormous amount of money on the table.
One of the biggest keys to success is knowing that your copy
should be centered on why and how buying your product is a
better choice than all other options, in a way that is customer-
focused, as opposed to trying to convince your visitor why
they need your product in the first place.
Your product is no different than that energy shot on the shelf
next to competitors, so put the right words together and you’ll
sell like crazy.
23
Chapter Three:
Double Or Triple My Sales In 15 Seconds
hen was the last time you found yourself stuck
listening to someone who only talked about
him/herself?
Your listing should be written as if you were sitting down
across from your reader, speaking to them directly….you’ll see
a much higher ROI by writing directly to your audience.
Avoid speaking about yourself…swap out the words “we” and
“us” with “you”. This will substantially increase engagement,
will get them to read the entire listing, and will increase your
sales dramatically.
Let’s get to the meat of this chapter…
Just how is doubling your sales in 15 seconds even possible?
This chapter is critically important to everybody wanting to
cash-in on a powerful sales-boosting trick; providing a money-
back guarantee.
Note: If you sell an item that you think you can absolutely
cannot provide a guarantee for (e.g. perishable items, movies,
etc.), you can find a way. It’s worth the time to go over this
W
24
chapter regardless of your product, you may be able to think
of a clever way to provide a guarantee for your product even
if you don’t know if that’s possible.
In fact, I had a client who sold dead rats (yes, you read that
right) as food for owners of pet lizards. We implemented a
money-back guarantee and his sales tripled.
If you sell anything that you could possibly provide a
guarantee for, even if it’s limited, please make sure to read
this entire chapter –it will be WELL worth it.
In case you aren’t totally convinced on the incredible benefit
of having a guarantee, allow me to illustrate this for you…
I have seen it literally hundreds of times, money being left on
the table by not having a good guarantee. A lot of sellers will
toss around the word “Guarantee” carelessly, but it’s doing
them no good. Your guarantee is a VERY important selling
point, so you’ll want to use it several times in your listing.
So what makes a good guarantee?
Let’s take this to another level…I’m going to show you how to
give it a “Super-boost”. Let me explain.
25
Most things on Amazon are guaranteed in some way, shape,
or form, right? But, the guarantees can be very different. It
really depends on what you’re buying and from who to know
exactly what their guarantee means. A lot of times, sellers
aren’t clear on this.
So, what happens is most guarantees are very vague, and
leave questions or doubt in buyer’s minds.
LET’S TAP INTO YOUR CUSTOMER’S MIND: If your
guarantee isn’t specific, this is what your prospects will
silently say to themselves as they browse your listing:
“Does that mean that if they send me the wrong size or
wrong color, I can be refunded?”
“Does that mean that if I get it and it’s broken, I can
request a free exchange?”
“Does that mean that if, a year from now, I’m using the
product and it snaps, I can get my money back?”
“Does that mean that if I simply don’t like it or it doesn’t
do what I expect it to, I can get my money back?”
We have to make sure that our guarantee is something that
attracts, not repels…
The good news is that it’s actually pretty simple to create a
money-syphoning guarantee. What’s most important for it to
26
work is that you’re extremely specific. Doing it the right wa
will generate you a whole lot more sales.
Here’s how you do it. Let’s go ahead and tie in some benefits
to your guarantee. For example, I created this guarantee for
a weight loss product:
“Lose Weight & Feel Better Or Your Money Back!”
See how it takes the risk right out of the purchase, like a
standard guarantee, plus dangles the specific benefit right
over the reader’s head? How could anybody wanting to lose
weight NOT jump on that?
This should get your mind going… Think about how you can tie
in some benefits of your own to your guarantee. What is/are
your most major benefit(s)? Not necessarily what your
product is, but what it does for your customer.
Then, structure it all together. Something like this:
“Benefit 1 & Benefit 2 Or Your Money Back!”
Write down 5-10 different variations of your guarantee.
Seriously, do that now.
27
For inspiration, here are some examples of guarantees that
I’ve written for Amazon listings that have worked really well:
“Look Up To A Decade Younger In Just Minutes Per Day…Or
We’ll Refund You!”
“Save 90% On Your Light Bill Next Month Or We’ll Send Your
Money Right Back!”
“Keeps Your Phone, Money And ID Safe & Secure Or You Get
A Refund”
“Bakes Your Favorite Cookies Perfectly Without The Mess Or
Your Money Back!”
Once you’ve written ten of your own, the best one will jump
off the page at you.
Of course, your product needs to back up your guarantee. If
you’re selling a product that doesn’t accomplish the benefit
you’re claiming it does, you’re only going to open up a
firestorm of complaints and will have a serious mess on your
hands. It goes without saying, you need a quality product to
have serious success on Amazon.
Once you’ve narrowed your list down, you’ll have the most
compelling, trustworthy, objection-squashing, “holy-crap-I-
28
need-to-buy-this-right-now” guarantee possible. Keep in
mind, you’re going to slip this in with some proven selling
points and proof elements (more on this later). As-is, the
guarantee may sound a little “Salesy” or “Too good to be
true”, which is fine. We’ll take care of that in a later chapter
as your listing starts to come together.
If that wasn’t enough, we’re going to take this even a step
further…
You’re going to want to deeply consider using a lifetime
guarantee (or warranty, however you want to phrase it),
regardless of the life span of your product. For example, let’s
say you sell a set of shower curtain hangers…In all likelihood,
they’ll last between 1 and 3 years, depending on how much
they’re used. Most sellers would then be comfortable giving
out a 1 year warranty, right?
Unfortunately, this leads your customer to think thoughts like,
“Will these break after a year?”…“Are they not designed to
last?”…“Why would I buy these if they’re just going to break
after a year?”.
It’s almost as if, when you put a deadline on a
warranty/guarantee on your product, you’ve put a timer on it
as if it was a bomb set to explode on the date you’ve chosen.
That’s exactly how your customer sees it. Would you stand in
29
line to buy a car with 200,000 miles? Of course not, the thing’s
going to blow up soon. It’s the same for your customer.
Instead of putting a timeline (more like a timer) on your
guarantee/warranty, if you set it for a lifetime…your customer
will think thoughts like, “Wow, this must be made really
well”…“Awesome, I’m covered if anything happens”…“Why
would I buy the other one that’s not guaranteed when I can
buy this one that is?”.
Which would you rather have your customers muttering to
themselves…wondering about why the guarantee is only so
long, or thinking this is a great investment because they’re
covered for life?
Before I leave this chapter, though, I know what you’re
probably thinking…if I give a lifetime guarantee, I’ll have a
million people coming back in two years trying to get a new
product from me for free. Realistically, it just doesn’t happen
that way. Sure, you’ll have a few bad eggs that may change
their mind later on…but the vast majority of your customers
will never remember that their product was guaranteed, nor
will they want to go through the trouble of getting another
one after they’ve used it for months.
30
Hang onto your guarantee as we’ll revisit this and I’ll show you
exactly where to put it in your listing to absolutely maximize
its effectiveness.
31
Chapter Four:
The #1 Biggest Mistake 97% Of Amazon
Listings Are Guilty Of…That’s Costing
Them Millions In Lost Revenue
hat’s the whole point of Amazon? It’s a place
that consumers go to buy stuff. That’s it.
You can easily beat your competitors by simply tweaking
your listing to meet the situation your potential customers
are in.
Why are they on Amazon?
To buy stuff.
They’re not there to seek information or to be told why they
need your item. They already know why they need it…now
they’re searching for the best deal, the most powerful, the
highest reviewed, or whatever else.
What most sellers do wrong is they waste vital space trying
to convince their browsers why they need the product in the
first place.
For example…
W
32
Somebody on Amazon looking for a diet pill doesn’t need to
be convinced why they need the diet pill. They have already
done their research and chose to buy the diet pill; they are
on Amazon to BUY, not to learn.
They also do not need to be explained the science behind the
product. (Example: when was the last time you were at a car
dealership and the salesman went into detail about how the
vehicle converted gasoline/electricity into power that turned
the wheels?)
Instead, they should be reminded of all the benefits that
reaching their weight loss/diet goals would look and feel
like…along with reasons why THIS particular product is
better/cheaper/more effective/easier than all other options.
It’s not a matter of convincing them they need the product
itself, your potential customer already knows they need it.
It’s actually a matter of convincing them they need YOUR
product over your competitors.
Make sure to meet your potential customers with where
they are. They’re not at the library or on Google looking up
ways to solve their problem. They’re at the store, pushing
their cart, browsing the aisle your product resides
in…comparing yours against the ones right next to it.
33
There is an absolute goldmine of money waiting for you to
claim if you simply write your listing the proper way.
Better than that, you're about to discover the number one
biggest mistake Amazon sellers make…that’s costing them
literally tens of millions of dollars…and that can be corrected
in a matter of just minutes.
I notice all day, every day, crappy, poor-performing listings
that are created by either ignorant sellers who don’t
understand the importance of having them
optimized…interns at large corporations who have literally no
idea what’s going on…or written by cheap, wannabe
copywriters who don’t have a clue what they’re doing. But,
this is good news for you and I because it opens the door to
an opportunity for us to crush them.
So what’s the #1 mistake?
It’s simple, the majority of sellers think that people either:
A: Don’t read the listing and buy products without reading and
by just looking at the price tag or pictures
Or
34
B: Read every last word of the listing just as you would read a
novel next to a fireplace
It just doesn’t happen that way. Not even close.
The truth is this…people on Amazon are not reading listings,
they’re skimming them.
We aren’t writing your listing to win a literature award,
impress your friends or colleagues, or even be easy to read.
We’re writing it to be completely optimized for sales on
Amazon and to squeeze out every last drop of traffic and
convert as many browsers into buyers as possible.
That’s the whole point, right? Got it?
Get ready because your listing is about to become bullet-
proof, perfectly optimized for your customers, and will leave
your competitors scratching their heads because this will be
far above their understanding.
Don’t forget what I just told you…you’ll thank me later.
35
Chapter Five:
The Simple Trick To Sell My Product At A
Higher Price Than My Competitors, AND Have
A Stampeding Crowd Flock To It?
ant to know how you can sell the same exact
product as a competitor, for a higher price, and
have a crowd stampeding toward yours and not
theirs?
Of course you do, and I’ll reveal that in a minute…
But first, I’ve got to give you a quick and painless lecture on
choosing a price point that both maximizes your profits and
makes your customers feel like they’re getting a great value:
1. A price lower than your competitors’ isn’t necessarily a
good thing (Please look up “Perceived value” and “Value
added” marketing terms if this comes as news to you). Unless
you’re the WalMart of your niche, taking a cost-leadership
approach isn’t a sustainable strategy and I wouldn’t suggest
going this route. You hopefully know that already.
AND
2. For non-prime members, which is estimated to be close to
half of all customers (Amazon is trying hard to make every
W
36
customer a prime customer), Amazon gives free shipping on
orders of $35 or more. You probably know this, but I need to
stress the importance of this.
This means that if you charge $35 for your product, your non-
Prime buyers pay $35 total. If you charge $34 for your
product, your non-Prime buyers pay $34 + shipping costs. So,
$35 is actually a better deal for your non-Prime buyers, and
YES they do have this figured out and shop accordingly.
Or, if you’re selling a product for less than $35 and you charge
$18 for your product, your non-Prime buyer can buy 2 and
only pay $36 total –no shipping charge. If you charge $17 for
your product, your non-Prime buyer can buy 2 and pays $34
for the products + shipping costs. Try to price your product
not only by what your competitors are selling for, but also take
into heavy consideration the $35 threshold for the non-Prime
buyers…and always test. Make sense?
Okay, back to the meat of this chapter…
Ready to find out how to sell your product at a higher price
with a stampeding crowd coming toward you?
It’s pretty easy, actually.

So you already know that it’s a good idea to put at least a few
keywords in your title if you want to have any search volume,
right?
Now, as true as that is, that’s only half the story. Let me show
you a quick example to illustrate what I’m about to reveal to
you…
Let’s go ahead and assume somebody has searched Amazon
for one of the keywords that you’re shooting for, and boom
you’re right there on page one –alongside the other dozen or
so competitors.
Chances are your competitors will want to go after the same
keywords you are, because they want to tap into that search
traffic, too…right?
Well, that means your competitors may have a pretty darn
similar title to yours, leaving your customer’s search result
looking something like this (I just filled in words to provide an
example):
LISTING RESULT #1:
Whey Protein Powder Chocolate 40 Grams Per Serving
LISTING RESULT #2:
Chocolate Whey Protein Powder 40 Grams/Serving
38
LISTING RESULT #3:
Whey Protein Chocolate 40 Grams Per Serving Powder
Etc.
Now, realistically, what do you think would cause a potential
customer to click on one listing over another?
