Sign Up for a Keywords Listing Critique

[#1]

Hi Team!

We will be hosting a Listing Critique in this Team and in the Online Labs and we would love for all of you to participate! For this critique, we will be focusing on how to choose descriptive keywords to help shoppers find your items.

If you would like the keywords in one of your listings to possibly be critiqued in the Team and in the Online Labs, please submit your shop name and the URL of the *one* listing you would like critiqued in this sign-up form by this Monday, August 4, 2014: http://etsy.me/listingcritiquesignup

The Seller Education Team will then will choose 3 listings from the sign-ups and post them back in a discussion for a Team Critique on Wednesday, August 6, 2014, followed up by a Online Labs Critique with Etsy Admin on August 27th, 2014.

I look forward to seeing your submissions!
Clare & the Etsy Seller Education Team

P.S. Please only leave a comment in this thread if you have a question about how to submit your listing.

Hi
Clare
Would it be possible to also give a few examples of a few listed items that have excellent key words as a comparison.

How can I use my tags or my keywords to target specific audiences?

thanks for the opportunity

Item submitted! Thanks so much for the opportunity for this critique; I have only recently attempted to list items 'correctly' in an attempt to attract shop and listing views...I am with Paula re the suggestion to show an example of keywords used optimally...looking forward to learn from this exercise!

I believe my work is good but my seo is bad! I would appreciate any help :)

I have scanned a few postings and like everyone else I ask for help also. I seem to only get hits when I have posted an item within a specific thread. Other than that I seem to sit without any customers or even lookieloos. Is there some sort of way to get people in to my shop, without having to spend literally hours of time hearting things or posting them in threads, to get noticed? I on average 350 hits a day when I am active and about 15 when I have to be away. I have been averaging about 1 sale every 1 1/2 to 2 months. I'm not sure what my question is other than what am I missing. Oh, and could you please critique my submission.

Cheers
Michael

Hi Sandy - For the moment we are only accepting 1 listing submission per shop. If you have other listings that you'd like critiqued, I would recommend joining a critique team, there are lots of teams that are ready to help! You can find critique Teams by going to https://www.etsy.com/teams and searching for "critique"

The Listing Critique Sign Up form is now closed. The 3 listings that we've selected will be posted in a pinned discussion this Wednesday. Thanks to all who submitted their listing and stay tuned!

[PaperPlanePrints]

Did the pinned discussion take place? Can someone post a link to it, please?

[InsideSandysShop]

I looked for the pinned discussion all day yesterday in this team and never saw it. Then came back this morning hoping to find something. I hope someone will respond and let us know where we can see this valuable information.
Someone - Anyone - Please with sugar on top :-)

[Former_Member]

I was waiting for the pinned discussion all day yesterday too, I even checked the time difference between our countries :)
It's important for me to know were and what I am doing wrong....

[ninedragons]

Sorry I missed this! Some of my photography is so tough to find keywords for. Anyone know where the discussion took place, I'd love to read through or watch it.
