Blog Post on Improving Relevancy

[Former_Member]

I just wrote a pretty long post on Etsy Relevancy. Normally I would just copy the whole thing over but it's pretty long and have pictures so I'm just going to link to it http://handmade-business.blogspot.com/2011/08/etsy-relevancy-and-how-to-get-noticed.html

A short summary: I talk about the different factors Etsy uses in relevancy and a rough way to see how your listings stack up when it comes to relevancy by assigning points to keywords/phrases based on where they are used. I don't at all pretend that system is an accurate description of Etsy's algorithm just a way to visualize how it works. Then how to improve your titles and tags (including how to keep cute names and customer friendly titles while still being relevant).

Haven't seen you in the forums for awhile!
Wonderful to see a seasoned Etsy seller share insight especially about a timely subject!
Thank you for your research so far!

I go on streaks where I post a lot and then get quiet again for a while. The relevancy stuff pulled me out of my little bubble.
