Join us July 13 at 11:30 a.m. ET in the Online Labs ( http://etsy.me/labs713) where we’ll cover the best practices for getting found online. We'll discuss topics like choosing the right keywords, determining your target market, accurately categorizing your items, and learning from your Shop Stats.

Bummer.can't get the workshop to load on my phone.

I hope there is a version of it to listen to soon.

In Stats, my top keyword for the past 12 months is "not provided"...why is this and how can I correct it?

[Former_Member]

Should I be mult-listing an item if it fits in more than one category?

[CarolineArtzi]

I am in several catagories and change tags regularily. Does this help me to be found - windchimes, art mobiles home decor etc.?

[Former_Member]

Good info! Thanks!

[LaPetiteVintageShop]

Hello! Thank you, I picked up a few new SEO tips, thank you!
Where can I find to download the keyword help and any other worksheets mentioned in the video? Thanks for all the help. :)

[Former_Member]

Thanks for the great tidbits. I look forward to revamping my shop items and driving more traffic to my store. Can't wait to see the target market sheet and get an even better idea of who my potential clients are.

[JanellMithaniArt]

Thanks for all the tips on keywords. I've been selling online for a few years, but I am new to Etsy. I thought your video and suggestions were very helpful. Great community! I look forward to more videos to help me make my Etsy store a success.

[magnacartafineart]

Is there a simple DO and DON'T list anywhere for tags on Etsy? Thanks!

[Former_Member]

I'm so sorry I missed this! I was so looking forward to it and need it! Anxiously awaiting a link to the recording!

[UniqueSewingBoutique]

Thank you for wonderful tips.

[Former_Member]

Great information for me just starting out. Thanks for putting this together...VERY helpful!!

[marcgounard]

Thanks, will have to look at some older postings and play with different tags and tittles...

[dellabellaBoutique]

I just watched the video! very interesting, great tips!

[BrooklynStVintage]

Watched the video tonight, good info, confirmed a lot of what I thought I knew but only had read the info from other sellers. Now I feel more confident in what I am doing.
BTW, great presenters, I really enjoyed listening to you two :)

[Former_Member]

Very appreciative of these helpful videos! Question: Are key words also important in descriptions? I don't recall this being addressed.

[88editions]

Thanks Tess! I'm sure I'm guilty of many items having the exact same decsription and tags!

ouch

I have work to do!

[ninedoorsvintage]

The tags/titles section felt like a repeat of the Intro to Titles and Tags video from awhile back. Most of the info covered in this lab confirmed what I've already learned from the Etsy SEO teams but I can see that it will be helpful for newer sellers and those new to SEO.

Looking forward to the shop promotion lab later this month!

[PrairiePrimitives]

Suzanne, my understanding is that Etsy SEO relies on tags & titles, however Google's SEO uses titles and descriptions. So if this is true, then it's very important to use keywords in your description!

[GrammysCustomCrochet]

So I see a lot of questions but no answers, how do we get answers? What is the point of asking if we can't get answers?

Joye

[BrooklynStVintage]

Hi Joye, the answers are here, in the archived video
