I start with definitive descriptors-materials, techniques, color, size, shape, anything that can be measured or quantified. I then move on to subjective descriptors like style and feel. I find that the subjective descriptors don't bump me up as much in a search. True, someone searching for a silkscreen tee with a bird on it may want it to be "hip" or "cool" or "modern", but they're likely to just search for "bird silkscreen tshirt". Therefore, the subjective descriptors end up and the end of my list as they are expendable. I would actually like to clarify this more.

My rule of thumb has always been to tag from most to least relevant. I find that its easier to change out tags if the "filler" tags are at the end of the list. For example, I sometimes run free shipping promotions and want to tag the items eligible with "free shipping". Most of my listing utilize all 14 available tag spaces, meaning one will have to go to allow for the new tag. I don't have to debate over which one it is if I already know that the most irrelevant one is the last on the list. Does anyone else know if the order of your tags has any bearing on SEO?

Does it matter what order they are in, is tag #4 more important than tag #14? If I'm running out of ideas for tags, should I use all my "good" tags first and then my team tags and less important tags? Or does it not matter at all?

Too short and you're not giving enough information and fully utilizing the space you have to work with. Too long and I doze off halfway through reading it. The super long titles are a pet peeve of mine for when I'm doing my weekly Etsy Picks feature on my blog. The overly long titles through off my formatting for the post, so I tend to pass up some great items just because the title makes my work harder. Silly, I know, but I'm really into simplicity.

Do you have any preference about the lenght of titles. I have seen some products with a title that spans 3 - 4 lines. I try to keep mine no more that two lines.... Great article Lisa.
