So, this will be a short post, but I wanted to share something new I learned recently. On etsy, when tagging items, I thought there was a max of 13 tags. However, I recently learned that you can actually tag your items with much more than 13 words, simply by putting a space between words.
Let me explain: I would always tag "impact jewelry" as one tag, with a space. I was under the assumption that someone would have to type in "impact jewelry" in the search in order to pull up something based on that tag. However, I was WRONG! If someone typed EITHER "impact" or "jewelry" in the search, it would still pull it up! So, for example, I used to use "pearl" and "pearls" as 2 separate tags when tagging a pearl necklace. But, now I can put "pearl pearls" as one tag (as long as it contains 20 or less characters) and still get the same result. This means I can use WAY more tags than I was using before. I went in and changed my tags for several of my listed items, and it has been helping get more views and traffic!
So, I could have been slow in getting to know this - maybe it's already public knowledge. But, I wanted to share anyway, just in case there is someone else out there like me who didn't know:)
Hope everyone has a great day! Oh, and P.S. I am running a special, along with my Promo Frenzy Team members, during the month of August. You can get 15% off all purchases in my etsy shop using code FRENZYSPECIAL at checkout:) Each store is different, so check them out to see what they're offering (shops are listed on right).
Oh my gosh that is so funny. I never realized that. I guess I am still a newbe at the whole Etsy thing but that makes sense! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat is good to know as I was really separating my tags ... like putting - blue, glass , beads when I could have been putting- blue glass beads - yay, one tag rather than 3. :)
