How to Add eBay Items on Dogpile
Often described as a meta search engine, Dogpile differs substantially from popular search engines such as Google. Instead of calling on its own index of websites when users perform a search, Dogpile runs queries across several other search engines--most notably Google, Yahoo and Bing--and then returns a comprehensive list of results that excludes duplicate entries. As a result, if you want your eBay item listings to appear in Dogpile search results, you must first add the listings to at least one of the search engines Dogpile consults. Google, Yahoo and Bing each allow you to perform this task quickly and at no charge.
