Each day, I or a guest poster will aim to post one teeny tip you can do to improve your SEO or Page Rank. I'm hoping this will become a great resource for new members to the team :-)
I would repeat the focal words on tags. From what I understand, Google searches the title but not the tags, but etsy searchs use tags. The ranking on google comes from your title and the first part of your item description, not the tags.
The more I read from these posts, the more I realize just how oblivious I have been regarding SEO's. So much to learn. Can we teach an old dog new tricks? I'm struggling with the 5-day course but hanging in there. Now trying to learn about links (backlinks?). Question - when someone favorites your items, or your shop, or adds your item to a treasury... is that a backlink to my shop? I thank God that I discovered this team and look forward to the future. Please advise, anyone...
This is a postscript to my previous message. I have now joined Twitter, Facebook, Google and Blogger. But I don't know really what to do with them and how they will help me. I'll keep on reading previous discussions, etc while waiting for response.
Thanks for all this advice! My views have increased since placing the links on each page back to my main shop. I've just gone through and added my keywords to each listing, so I'll wait and see if that makes a difference too!
