What's In Store For Etsypedia

It's been a little quiet here on Etsypedia lately... you've probably noticed.

Things were going along just fine and then Etsy changed things! And they changed it a lot! So much so that now some of the step-by-step directions in some posts are no longer current.

So I've got to decide what to do... do I go back and update all posts? Maybe... there are only 18 so far... but what happens when they change things again? And they WILL!

How to Get More Buyers to Your Etsy Shop With SEO

Hello there! 

Do you want to know how to get more buyers to your Etsy shop? Then this post is for you because today I want to talk about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as it relates to your Etsy shop. 

Let's face it, you can work your tail off getting your Etsy shop opened and looking pretty, you can ensure that you have {shop policies}, {shipping policies}, {shop sections}, {a rockin' About page}, and a {pimped out profile page}. All of those things are important but not worth a whole lot if you can't get customers to your shop to see them!  

The quote "If you build it they will come" from the movie Field of Dreams is just NOT true in the online business world! You have to take people by the virtual hand and lead them to your shop... show them where it is!

So how do you do that? I'm going to show how with SEO!
