    I would advise you to shorten your current title. It may help to increase your SERP :)

    These are some new tags or something??

    <meta name="keywords" content="general site keywords">
    <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="auto parts buy sell automotive wheels truck car custom trade accessories performance rims coolants brakes transmission
    exhaust ignition tools tires engines">
    <META NAME="keyphrases" content="auto parts, auto accessories, truck parts, car parts, sell auto parts, wheels for sale, buy wheels, wheels for sale,
    Custom truck, auto spares, auto trade, parts for sale, auto parts & accessories">

    Quite a few Keywords, don't you think?


    "eBay motors Yahoo auctions alternative"
    would not be the same as..
    "eBay motors alternative and Yahoo auctions alternative"

    Yeah Chas, i'm going thru all that now. Once I have the title and description in place was planing on working on the keywords.

    Regarding:
    "eBay motors Yahoo auctions alternative"
    would not be the same as..
    "eBay motors alternative and Yahoo auctions alternative"

    Are you suggesting I use "eBay motors alternative and Yahoo auctions alternative" rather then the way I worded it.

    Thanks to all for the input.

    Yes...I'm suggesting that...but It's just my opinion.

    I prefer my text to contain the exact phrase I'm going after.

    I don't like changing meta tags after I'm indexed,tho. I would be afraid of slipping rather than gaining page rank.

    I once had a page ranking high...I discovered some errors in my <head> section and made changes then lost my ranking. It was as if the error was actually helping me...but only speculation on my part.

    I'm currently ranking on first page google for (auto parts auction). But that is the only phrase im strong with. That's actually why i'm switching it up some. You think the switch will affect my ranking for (auto parts auction) considering im leaving it as is on my title. All in all I'll be happy if I can get good ranking for ebay motors alternative, yahoo auctions alternative, auto accessory auction and not loose my ranking for auto parts auction. Whats your opinion??

    You think this may do the trick;

    Title: Auto Parts Auction | Accessories, Car, Truck
    Description: Find your car or truck part or accessory at AutoGearBid marketplace auction, eBay motors alternative, Yahoo auctions alternative.

    Or should I leave as is?
