this is all great info. Don’t forget your own name once in a while. I wrote two blog posts about googling yourself.

and
http://newmexicomtngirl.com/2009/02/23/i-take-up-92-pages-on-googlecom/

and your user names if you use them in other places.

I also use blu and blue
along with watercolor and watercolour as well

Thanks for the info and insight

Thanks for sharing these tips. It would appear that I have some fixing to do, tightening up my titles and rearranging my tags. The proof is in the pudding and I have found that new listings from my shop that take SEO into consideration have more than double the views in the same time-frame. …backtracking is just so time consuming, lol.

Thats a great point about the difference in spelling colour, as an aussie, i wonder too whether i need to use both. I think i will change it to the American version, simply because it’s a much larger market. If there’s room left over to stick in the Australian spelling, by all means I’ll be hedging my bets and doing so!
This has been a very useful article to me,thanks to all involved.

Thanks for this great article – it really sums up SEO nicely! I never thought to add either handmade or my shop name to my tags.

Thanks so much for all this good information. I am going to my etsy shop now and will make some changes.
About the color and colour issue. I think I might be one of them who uses them both. I do not really know which one to use. For Australians it is colour and for Americans color. Will it make a difference for the search engines if I use the Australian version?

Great article… Doesn’t get to technical with the HTML coding techniques that Etsy use to make SEO relevancy.

For the Tag Words, we’ve made a special tool that looks at the Relevancy or Popularity of tags in a comparative manor called TagWars – http://www.tools4etsy.com/tagwars

TagWars highlights other tag words that others are using and gives you an outside-the-box point of view of tags that you may not have considered. One thing that we’ve noticed is that some Etsy sellers are using mixed spelling and common spelling errors in their tags … Like Color & Colour…
