Pictures, Keywords and Titles

I have been on Etsy for over a year now and I think I am doing pretty well.....but I want to do better. SO I have been working on my titles and my keywords and I actually think it may be helping. Now I think I need to change my pictures. I had always read that you should keep the background white. So, all my photos are that way but they look kinda boring so this morning I set up some of my new fall items with an old wooden box and some fall things. Do you think this looks better? or should I stick with the white? Also if anyone would like to give me some tips on titles...that would be great :)

Re: Pictures, Keywords and Titles

Robin,

You are using better keywords in the listing description than in the listing title!

Keyword Research is the best place to start to find keywords that are popular with shoppers. I use Google's (FREE) Adwords Keyword Planner to find great keywords and to see how popular these keywords are.

Here is a shortened list I ran for your listing. The number on the right is the average number of monthly searches for each keyword:

country decor 9900
country wall art 320
home decor signs 210
inspirational wall art 1300
rustic decor 5400
rustic wall art 720
rustic wood wall art 110
wood wall art 2900
wood wall decor 880
wood wall sign 10
wooden wall art 1300
wooden wall art decor 50
wooden wall decor 590
wooden wall sign 10

Just using this short list, I would create a new title like this;

"Rustic Wood Wall Art, Country Decor, Inspirational Wall Art"

I would use these same keywords in the listing tags and, from this list and more keyword research, I would add more keywords to the tags.

The whole idea is to use keywords that shoppers really do use instead of words we think they might use. This will bring in, not only more views, but targeted views that translate into sales.

For Google searches, also use these keywords from the listing title sprinkled throughout the listing description and create unique descriptions for each listing to ranking each listing on Google and avoid Google's Duplicate Content Filter.

Re: Pictures, Keywords and Titles

All of that SEO stuff from Mary above is spot on.

Regarding photos, the white ones have a kind of weird white background (more cream? or the white balance is just off?) that also looks pieced together somehow. Also, none of them on the first page (with the white background) had the entire item in the first item photo.

I think the entire item on a clean white background in the main photo is probably a good idea, but you can experiment with what works by running search ads and comparing the impression/view ratios for the two kinds of photography.
