SEO Help

You can't sell if customers can't find you...

Teams are great, advertising is great, Facebook and other social media is great, but there are already A LOT of people on Etsy, who were brought here by Etsy, who are ready to shop.

How do you tap into that market? SEO, work on your titles and tags. This will get you found via google as well.

Post any relevant links here, or any advice you have found useful :)

Here is a link I found regarding facts and myths about SEO.

It's LONG!

Here is another link (it was posted before, but lost in the shuffle)

www.etsy.com/teams/7722/discussions/discuss/12755029/page/1

Here is a synopsis of the article, because it's long:

Titles:
Make them descriptive over cute or witty
Put important words at the beginning (your customers only see a couple of words off the page and have to click to get full description)
Use words, phrases only once

Tags:
Re tag the title
Tag the shop name
If more than 29 characters, make two tags
Avoid single word tags
Wait at least one week before making more changes
