How To Write Good Item Titles
Your title is one of the most important factors for ranking high in the search engines. Your title is what shows up in most search engines as the link back to your item.
  • What words would buyers type into search engines.
  • The first 3 words in your the title is the most important keywords.
  • No fluff, straight and to the point.
  • Keep in mind that buyers don't search for words like "Beautiful" or "Fabulous".
  • If you are selling on multiple venues vary the title of your items.

    Example: Wrong
    Your Item Title: Fabulous Antique Thomas Webb Decanter

    People do not search for fluff words, in this example Fabulous is a waste of important keyword space.
    Google limits titles space to 3-10 words (60-80 characters) maximum in length.
    use the limited space of your title for important words or keywords.

    Example: Right
    Your Item Title: Antique Thomas Webb Decanter
    Your Description: An exquisite and rare crystal decanter attributed to Thomas Webb. Green overlay rock crystal



How To Write Good Item Descriptions
In Google the text shown under the title is called the link summary. The summary is taken from the first 25 to 30 words of your item description.
  • Use the most important keywords at the top of your description.
  • Do Not repeat your title to your description, Google will see this as keyword spamming. You can use the same important words that you use in your title in your description but vary the way it is written.

    Example: Wrong
    Your Item Title: Antique Thomas Webb Decanter
    Your Description: Antique Thomas Webb Decanter. Green overlay rock crystal

    Example: Right
    Your Item Title: Antique Thomas Webb Decanter
    Your Description: An exquisite and rare crystal decanter attributed to Thomas Webb. Green overlay rock crystal
