Applying SEO Basics on Networking Saturday 53
Unfortunately I have not been able to locate the post that I wanted to reference since it was specific to Etsy so I will have to rely on my memory. I also like to give you the link so you can read it yourself so if I find it I will share in the future.
In her post she said that our title should never lead with the same words even if we are listing multiple items that are very similar. This is because that the SEO robot will look at it as the same item and skip it. For me this is huge because all of my item title started with "Antique Postcard.... or Vintage Postcard ...." This is one of the reasons it it taking me so long to update everything. What she is saying to do is list at as "Victorian Lady in Merry Widow... Vintage Postcard" and then do not start a title with Victorian Lady again.
I also read that you need to have the same exact wording from your title in the body of your description as the first sentence. This was also something I wasn't doing because I had a format that gave just the facts: size, type, Artist, publisher etc. it never had been a written description in story format. I didn't want to change this so I have been simply copying the title into the body and then adding my details. I am not sure if this is helping but it certainly could not hurt.
The third take away from her post was that the tags need to be the same words used in your title in the same sequence. So if I have a title "Victorian Woman in Merry Widow Hat.... Vintage Postcard" My first tags should be: "Victorian Woman" "Merry Widow Hat" "...." "Vintage Postcard" then the tags left can be used for further description in this case something like "postcard" "ephemera" etc.
The last take away for me was to always use google's Adword to check the search rank for my words. She said not to assume that the one that makes sense will be the most searched. So true; I had "Antique Postcards....." in all of my titles (at the beginning) when in fact it is a very low ranking search, while "Vintage Postcards" is a very high ranking search and while it doesn't describe the age accurately that is the one that will bring me the most people.
I will be back next week with some more great tips while I read, study and experiment with my own SEO's.
Have a very blessed and prosperous week my friends. :)
