Broke my hand today! One handed typing is so slow. :-(

Not gonna make updates on these drugs. Will try to catch up later.

[BlackCrowCurios]

Ouch!
Melissa what did you do???

Re tags:

Modifying tags and title is an ongoing process for me and I always find many changes I can still make each time I look. It's alarming how many typos I find when I relook with 'fresh eyes'!

please critique:

I tripped outside of my bank and caught myself with my left hand.

[TOMgirlApparel]

Oh Melissa! Get rest!

Trish, looking good but what about "garden decor", "garden art", and "tooth fairy door"!!!!!???!!

[Akamatra]

Oh aouts Melissa, what a way to spend the summer! I hope you'll feel better soon!
I've been out all day so I skipped this day but I am going to do it tomorrow along with the about page!

[TomboyPrettyJewelry]

@Melissa, take it easy on the hand and hope it heals soon.

I revised 8 listings today. My average is 5, but I find it easy to complete an entire row - just to remember where to start.

Any critique or suggestions for this listing, please:

Ouch Melissa!

Trish, do you get different results from "Fairy Door" and "Fairies Door"? I would try to get "woodland" into your title as well as your tags.

You could also use mini as an alternate to miniature and faerie as an alternate to fairy

What about
fairy garden supplies
fairy garden accent
fairy ornament
dollhouse door
terrarium door
gnome village door

[TooSplendidSupplies]

Thank you all.

@black crow - what about "garden decorations"?

[TooSplendidSupplies]

@kimberly The very first sequence of words in your title aren't repeated in your tags. Step one of title and tag updating is that every phrase in your title must be in your tags in the exact same order as it appears in the title.

So, your tag should be "modern gunmetal necklace", not "modern necklace". Since that won't fit in one tag, you should have "modern gunmetal" and "gunmetal necklace".

[TomboyPrettyJewelry]

@Melissa, thank you - going back to look at all my revisions again.

[TOMgirlApparel]

"in the exact same order as it appears in the title"

It doesn't matter what order your tags are in. Just as long the EXACT phrase from title is in one tag (if it can fit).

So, for example:

Title: "Blue glass vase, modern glass art, light blue vase, minimal glass container"

Tags can be "minimal glass container", "Blue glass vase", " light blue vase", "modern glass art"

[TOMgirlApparel]

So, Kimberly, for that listing you posted, the tags and titles are matching and broken up if needed. So that's good. However, you only used 10 tags. You need to get three more good phrases for that :)

[TomboyPrettyJewelry]

@TOMgirl, thanks for the clarification added the last 3 tags. :-)

[Former_Member]

On track :)

[ShoppeDeziLu]

At the lake with the family. No wifi. And super spotty Internet reception - UGH!!! Going thru withdrawals, but it's good because I really needed a break and to spend time focusing on family instead of my shop. Will catch up after we get home next week.

Ouch, Melissa!!! Take care!

[Maiook]

Ouch Melissa! I hope your hand heals soon.

I'll do mine tomorrow together with the About page. We finally have some nice weather and I was out all day.

[VintageRescueSquad]

Done.

With all this improvement of titles/tags, wouldn't it be awesome to sell 20% of your items as a result, giving you 2 days less to do?!?

Just kidding. I'm actually going to be adding items this week.

[BlackCrowCurios]

thank you for all the suggestions, I'll try "garden decor", "garden art", and "tooth fairy door" (thanks Heather)

and garden decorations, (thanks Melissa)

and Kathleen thanks for the suggestions of "woodland" "mini" and faerie as an alternate to fairy and
fairy garden supplies
fairy garden accent
fairy ornament
dollhouse door
terrarium door
gnome village door

I'll test them all, thank you!!!!!

[swaddlemesnugly]

Ouch Melissa! An enforced vacation! Make the most of it and know you will get everything up to snuff when you can. If you don't push it now the healing will go better and faster. Let others do the cooking, washing up, everything they offer to do for you - it's good for you and for them too.

[Former_Member]

I didn't want to put off my edits until my hand is healed, so I thought I'd look through and find the ones that need work. This one is horrible:

[myBeadedEarth]

Ouch Melissa, feel better ☺

Here’s what tags I came up with:

bohemian necklace
boho cluster pendant
bead cluster pendant
bead charm necklace
eclectic necklace

[TOMgirlApparel]

Agreed, Melissa. That one needs a lot of work. Use an adjective and noun for each tag.

Good ideas, MyBeadedEarth. I went to your shop to look for your name and saw you didn't have a profile or about page. Your gonna be busy, tomorrow!

[SweetSomeday]

Yikes, Melissa, that sounds horrible! Hope you are feeling better soon.

I was busy all day with long weekend friend and family gatherings, but I'll be back on track soon!

[Former_Member]

Hope you feel better Melissa :)

Here is my item revised. Please let me know how I did. Thanks.
