Etsy KeyWords for Front Page – August 5th - 11th
Here’s the keyword list from last week. I find these by searching through the flickr account…anyone can do this whenever they are interested. It’s also a great way to see your things on front page if you missed it while it was actually up there.
Don’t forget to to see the themes/keywords that the Etsy Merchandising Team has laid out in advance go to the Storque article:
http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/merch/
This will also be very helpful!

ETSY KEY WORDS FOR FRONT PAGE (July 15th – July 21st)
My original plan was to keep a month long list but it is pretty long after just one week so I think I’m going to do it week by week.
This is a tool to help everyone for tagging their items. Remember though…DO NOT MISTAG! It annoys EVERYONE! I’m hoping by reading (and typing) this list up everyone will be able to improve their tagging technique. I know I have things that would fit into these tags that I never would have thought of using…maybe you do to…
