Abstract:
Methods and systems enable access to listing performance data associated with a search engine. A request for listing performance data for an item is received from a client computing system. The request is associated with a keyword and/or a category. The request is processed to retrieve the listing performance data corresponding to the item, and a value is determined that indicates a strength of the item in a search results listing having a plurality of search results based on a search using the keyword and/or the category. The listing performance data and value are provided for presentation.
Abstract:
Methods and systems enable access to listing performance data used in conjunction with a search engine to order search results. A request for listing performance data for a specific item listing from a seller is received from a client computing system. The request specifies a keyword and/or a category. The request is processed to retrieve the listing performance data corresponding to the specific item listing, and a position value is determined that indicates a position at which the specific item listing would appear to a potential buyer in a search results listing having a plurality of item listings based on a search using the keyword and/or the category. The listing performance data and position value are transmitted to the client computing system for presentation to the seller.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for simulating a search, for the purpose of evaluating one or more scoring functions used in ordering item listings for presentation in a search results page are described. Consistent with some embodiments, a simulation platform includes a real-time simulation module that receives search result sets for search queries that result in the conclusion of a transaction. The result set is then processed by the simulation platform with one or more test scoring functions, such that the resulting position of the item listing that has resulted in the transaction can be compared with the actual position at which the item listing was displayed in the actual search results. For each test scoring function, an average rank shift metric is determined, and displayed, thereby providing a metric with which to base decisions about which scoring functions to use in the production system.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for analyzing, ordering and presenting item listings are described. In one example embodiment, a search query is processed to identify item listings satisfying the search query. Then, for each item listing that satisfies the search query, a ranking score is derived and assigned to the item listing. The ranking score is based in part on a relevance score, a listing quality score and a business rules score (or, adjustment factor). Finally, the item listings are ordered, based on their corresponding ranking score, and presented in order in a search results page.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for enabling access to listing performance data, used in conjunction with a search engine to order search results, are described. Consistent with some embodiments, a listing performance data engine module processes API commands received from client computing systems. The data engine module processes the API commands to identify and communicate relevant listing performance data that is used by a listing performance algorithm to assign a listing performance score to item listings satisfying a search request. The listing performance data provides sellers who have items listed for sale an insight as to how their item listings are performing in comparison to other item listings.
