I could really use some help with keywords...I've been using etsy search ads. Which has helped tremendously. I get anywhere from 100-200+ views per day. But..when I turn that off for a day..even if I add new listings...I get considerably less hits. I'm thinking my keywords need help. Anyone?

I'm by no means an expert...but in the listing I looked at you had several tags twice. The first 3 are Etsy generated by your categories, no need to add them again. And I would use more than one word, for example instead of just 'gentle' I would use ' gentle soap' or 'glycerin soap' or 'natural soap'...you get the idea. Use short phrases.

Lovely shop, btw! I'm going back to look some more :)

Oh. Thank you! I never realized it generated keywords from categories. I've been looking at the listings from the edit screen when I'm dealing with that.

And omg. I'm so going to be buying one of your bracelets the moment I have spending money. Those are soooo cool! Love this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/96985782/stretchy-rainbow-chainmaille-box-chain

I was looking at your store and couldn't help but grab some of that bubble gum soap with the toy for my son.. He is going to flip.
Any who.. I was looking at some of your tags and noticed that they are mostly single word phrases.. If you right something like autism fundraiser or bubblegum soap.. you will get better views I think. Think of things people would type when looking for your item. I have also recently started typing a single word into the search bar and seeing what pops up since these are the most searched keywords on etsy. Then you can tweak yours , hope that helps a little. Thanks for soap!

Thanks Mallory! I really appreciate that! Yay! My Jazzie has more to add to her fundraiser funds! :) and thank you for the advice. Keywords are the one thing I think I totally suck at
