Some insider info on the knockout bot

Ever wonder how to get your listings to show up in the knockouts on the front page?

In this thread, Jared gives some tips for getting your items picked up by the knockout bot:

I should mention that you will have better odds having your items discovered as knockouts if you leave some white space between the item and the edge of the image.

For example, ff you look at this listing:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7594822

See how the mirror goes right up to the edge of the image border? One of the first things the knockout bot does is scan the entire border edge of an image to make sure that every pixel is pure white. The way your mirrors are edited, they fail this test. Try reducing the size of the mirror just a bit, creating about a 10px white padding.

    I guess the post I wrote this morning got caught in the spam filter. It did have a bunch of links it it. :-(
