You’re advice and information sounds great and so helpful. Easy reading too, it was as if you were just sitting down and “talking” with me! I’m going to put this to use right away. I sell jewelry on eBay (Chickenbonecharlie Jewelry and Gems). When I do get buyers they often message me with lovely compliments on my designs and what they bought. Problem is that buyers are so few and far between. I believe my items are nice and I always use the best quality findings I can afford. But for some reason my sales are like a slow dripping faucet, not even that much. I get so discouraged. But after reading this article and applying it to my store, I hope things will pick up. Your willingness to help folks like myself and others is a real Godsend. Thank you again, and wish me luck!

Is this the best way for unknown brands to add descriptions to get rankings? When I look at sites such as Anthropologie, they do not have descriptions and only one picture most of the time. Is it different when you offer such a range of products?

I think my problem is that I’m so exhausted after taking photos and writing descriptions that I just want to hurry up and post my item for sale.
What I found is, to go back the next day and really study my tags and titles. You’d be surprised how many better phrases you can come up with by just “resting” for a day or two and then revisit your work. You can always edit and “tweak” those titles, etc

I’m an SEO beginner and found this information very good. It’s so important to understand the basics and you have presented it brilliantly. I and am going to start changing my web pages today.

Once I’m ready to list a new item, I’m usually anxious to get it online and move on without as much thought to the description as it should have. This has really motivated me to beef them up.

Actually, I have a description under each picture of my pendants. But there is still a lot to learn and I would like to look forward on more posts about SEO. I will be checking out the links you’ve provided.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

So many of us are so intent on creating and perfecting our craft that we are quite challenged in marketing our wares. Learning about SEO is absolutely essential for anyone trying to sell anything online. I will be checking out the links you’ve provided. I’m ready to learn.

@Melissa: EXCELLENT tip Melissa. Because I’m still behind in using video for my sites (bad, bad SEO expert, I know!), I totally forgot to add this tip.

But everyone, she’s absolutely right — YouTube IS a social media site (much like Twitter, Facebook, etc.). It gets googobs of traffic. And, as Google (the #1 search engine) likes to return “mixed media” results (eg, video, photos, articles), it’s an excellent way to pick up some immediate traffic.

@Lee: That’s very common Lee. I’m sure many who own fashion sites like jewelry makers feel the same way. But, it is a two-part process. You can have the most beautiful jewelry in the world, but if no one can find your amazing shop online, it means your hard work is not paying off fully.

So create it; then SEO it!

@Lisa Yang: Lisa, content theft (photos, vides, articles) is rampant online. SE’s can return your images in search even if you don’t tag them descriptiveley. Sure, it makes it harder, but it doesn’t mean that someone who comes across your site and sees your photos can’t steal them (unless you’ve made it harder by disabling the “Save As” feature).

So, my advice is not to cut off your nose to spite your face, so to speak. You could be missing out on thousands of visitors (and thousands of dollars in sales), by not doing this. The payoff vs. the potential drawback is too big, IMO, to ignore.

Good luck however you decide to proceed.

Finally, thanks Rena for so generously sharing your space with me. You have some lovely, and obviously very dedicated, readers.

In general, I think SEO is such a large topic that it is difficult to cover in such a short post. Maybe this is a topic that it would make sense to do a series on?
Also, maybe it’s just me, but I don’t always tag my photos (or rename them) to something more descriptive because I don’t want other people to use my photos. It seems like that’s what can happen once a search engine gets a hold of them. Can anyone give feedback on whether or not that’s true?

One thing I would add is to add videos, it may be only my industry, but I think it applies to others. My suggestion of an interesting video would be one simple technique, or perhaps instruction on how to fix an older piece of jewelry.

I spend so much time making my jewelry, photographing, editing those photos and listing my items that by the time it comes to descriptions, I’ve had it. My mistake. Off to work on my descriptions and keywords.
Thanks for this great interview.
