I noticed on fiverr that many gigs title are not related to URL.
like below gig title:
"I will 3000 facebook likes, FACEBOOK likes for $5"
and gig URL "fiverr.com/user-etc/do-ready-made-premium-html-template
and under description box "add 3000 fAcebook likes,fAcebook likes,fAcebook likes............................................. ........................ "
And other thing many gig titles are like "I will facebook likes, FACEBOOK likes for $5" with different URL "fiverr.com/username-xyz/make-your-website-reponsive".
They service provide facebook like and URL says "make your website responsive"
Anybody can tell whats secret behind it. why titles are not match with URLs
and why titles are irregular capitalization e.g fAcebook?
In description, details are not available.
They make all above stupid stuff but they beat the competitor and get more sales in just a week.
How and Why?

    Probably they originally offered something of great value that only a fool would pass up, and then when they got reviews, they changed it to a more lucrative Gig that only takes them a couple mutes to complete.

    Saves em buying their own gigs etc.

    The URL is different because you created a permalink, which is permanent I assume.

    BTW, who cares?

    The unnatural capitalization is what caught your eye? Unless its just a mistake that the seller overlooked, its a way to attract more attention.

    People do lots of stuff on Fiverr to make money and nowadays I see a lot of stuff there is shady and Fiverr doesn't seem to care. Quite obviously these guys are after making a quick sale and are not worried about what the customer gets.

    Fiverr has some diamonds in the rough, but for the most part you are buying garbage. People like to display something good and then when you get the product it is not like the example, it is the far worse version.

      From the POV of an internet marketer. Yes, a large group of the customers on Fiverr are internet marketers but just because the the SEO gigs are pretty poor doesn't mean the rest are.

      There hundreds if not thousands of gigs targeting the general public.

    Luke is right!

    When you create a new gig, the gig name is used as the permalink.

    A great way to get top seller status FAST is to put out a popular gig for a no-brainer deal. Like "10 ebook covers for $5"

    You get popular REALLY fast, and your level goes up to Top Seller giving you immediate "street cred" with potential buyers.

    But the deal is too crazy to keep doing it for $5.


    Now that you are Top Seller you can publish a new gig in the old spot but the url will stay the same old permalink.

    Plus you keep all the 5 star reviews and your Top Seller status.

      That's exactly how it works!
      You can find a lot of garbage gigs on Fiverr but also a lot of great ones - you have to do your research!

    How and Why?
    When you create your gig the title becomes its URL. If you then change the title, the URL stays the same, and only the title changes. This is why you should think twice before creating your first Gig title - it's the most important one.

    As for the reason why some gig URLs are completely different from their titles - it's pretty simple - the seller had a gig which had some (or a lot of) possitive feedbacks, then the seller decided to stop offering this gig and start something new, but instead of deleting a gig which has already a good rating and start from scratch, he/she decides to use it for the new one. Sometimes, as others have said, this is done on purpose, a great offer is created in order to attract customers and positive reviews, then this offer is transformed into not so great offer but easier and quicker to be completed.

    As for the meaningless titles like "I will facebook likes" this is done in order to trick the search algorithm of Fiverr. At the moment the shortest the title is, the bigger the chances are that the gig will rank higher in the search results of Fiverr. And if the keyword is mentioned twice - you got a winner. Just search for 'facebook likes' and you will see that the first results look like this. This is a bug in the algorithm and I bet that if you report these gigs to the Fiverr administration, they will be taken down. I know this from personal experiance. Before, it was the longest titles with endless repetition of the keywords, which were ranking high. So you would see titles like this: I will deliver Facebook likes, like, likes, facebook, facebook likes... etc. When I made an experiment and reported some of these spammy gigs, they were taken down. However, the sellers were posting them right back on the site, so Fiverr had to make a change to their gig posting conditions and also to their search algorithm. Now the character limit of the titles is reduced and you can't write certain words (like Facebook) more than twice. However, some people will always find ways to game the system, and this new bug with the short, meaningless titles is the perfect example of it.
