How do you optimize your keywords for google base?

Ive noticed that sometimes its hit and miss with the google feed results showing up in the google results.

Lets say for instance you are selling a ipod. I post the title as "4gb Black Ipod new with case and headphones"

You then go search on google you dont see your item or its 10 pages down (in which most people never go through that many pages). However if you put in the exact wording of your listing it picks it up right away, but we know that most "average" people who dont spend alot of time on the net will just go to google and type in "black ipod" and then they get 100 listings dominated by the ebay beast...

Accepting Google Checkout *might* help.

Using the attributes should help.

Putting the keywords you think most likely to be searched for in the same order and at the beginning of your title, and then repeating those keywords at the beginning of your description would probably be the most helpful. I would try slightly rearranging the order of the keywords in the description as well. As Google ignores common "filler" words such as "the" "and" "with" then leaving those out in the title might provide more room for more important keywords such as the specific ipod model or maybe player or some other feature a buyer might narrow their search with.
