Adding / Not Adding the Word 'Vintage' in the title for Vintage Items

[Former_Member]

Hello.
Let's say for example, that you are listing a vintage black dress. Would you start the title with Vintage Black Dress or Black Dress? Both will be listed in the vintage category under dress.

More often than not I don't use "vintage" as the first word in my title, but I do use it usually within the first 4 to 8 words.

Hi Vicky

It is entirely up to you if you and include it and where you might include it. Technically you don't need to include the word vintage in any of your titles as it is a given your items are vintage from the category you chose and this is embedded in the html.

However from the point of view of the buyer it is helpful to see that word so they can instantly tell that the item is vintage when a thumbnail is in front of them. For SEO purposes your most important keywords should fit into the url as this is the most searchable part of information. So from that perspective and that of the buyer, the beginning is therefore the best placement should you decide to include it.

@ Endless Alley - Thanks. I'll also try to include the word 'vintage' or the era in the title of my listings.

@ Claire - Thanks for your perspective. You have been very helpful. I read some of your posts before joining the team. There's still so much to learn in the art of SEO!

Much appreciated, Thanks again.

I just joined this team a few minutes ago and have already learned something I didn't know before. I had never paid attention to what shows up in the url of my listing! That *has* to be very significant and here I never even thought to look at it.

Thank you, Claire! :0)
