No traffic to my booth.

A couple of weeks ago, we started a new booth ( Save BIG Truck Parts ) offering new International, Isuzu, Hino commercial truck parts at discounted prices. We have photos, descriptions and MPNs listed and are using the “Superior” level of advertising but still no traffic and when I Google any of our listed part numbers, our listings are not in the results.
I’ve contacted Bonanza Support and they have suggested that it is because we don’t have UPCs listed but, I know that we did not use UPCs in another booth venture and always had good traffic and sales. I’ve searched through the settings to see if I’ve overlooked something but everything seems to be correctly configured …. Does anyone have any suggestions what the trouble could be ? We have a LOT of inventory that we have not yet listed because, well, if we need to make any listing changes, it’s a lot easier to make changes to 30 listings than 300 listings.

As of May 16 Google started requiring UPC (GTIN)codes or items will be disapproved so probably Bonz is telling you right. Try adding some and see if those items start showing up. Also request a Google Feed Diagnostic review. That will show anything they are not approving and why. Good luck!

You are actually listed in Google Shopping as long as you have the MPN which you have done from what I can see.

I’ve seen some of your Bonanza listings in Google Shopping and in the general Google search as well.

E.g. “ISUZU / GM TURBOCHARGER CONTROL MODULE / PART # [phone number removed]” is first on the Google [URL removed]

etc.

Thank you all for your time to check out the problem — Could it be that we just weren’t waiting long enough for our listings to show up in Google ? Either way, the fact that they are now showing up in searches means that there is no longer a problem. Thanks again !

Unfortunately bear0413, I’m beginning to feel the same way as you. When I first started here, views and sales were much better but now seems like if you don’t pay for turbo traffic or a webstore you won’t sell.

I’ve been on Bonanza for 10+ years hoping they would improve something other than more fees! Traffic on their site is lame to say the least. I literally have maybe one sale a month through them and now I have to pay a $20 minimum listing fee? Just closed my booth today, 6/02/2025. My reason is after 10 years and asking I’ve never seen any advertisements promoting Bonanza, no phone app, and lots of technical issues with the listings when they’re imported from eBay. Such a shame, I tried for 10 years, I’m done.
