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.
