What are "Hot Words" ?
What is my "Website" ?

If you are specified as a vendor, you are encouraged to fill in the section under your account preferences called "Hot Words" and "WebSite" after your account is created.
These words are indexed into our search engine as a means to direct customers to your site and products quickly during a search

For instance:

Say I have a business that sells tripods. I would want people who search on the words "tripod" or "tripods" to see my company listed as a vendor for tripods. When a user searches on those words in the classifieds, they will get your website link returned as a source to get the product.

And if you sell products for a specific brand or model? That's easy.
The more specific you get with your hot words, the more you are likely to come up in a search.
Like, if a customer would search on "Meade tripod for LXD55" and your hotwords were listed as "tripod lxd55" then you would come up in a search!

This will help the customers find products they are looking for FAST by making a direct link with a vendor who has what they are looking for, and allow you to sell more products.

Tips:

Be specific with your words
Separate words or sentences with coma's
Use your name and company name as well, sometimes customers want to find YOU and not the products you have
