Etsy seo hack?

Atom Smasher said:
I sell about 60k a year on Etsy for one of my brands. In my personal experience, onsite SEO for Etsy goes a long way - no need to pay for services or link build.

I used to do paid ads on Etsy and stopped after auditing analytics/ROI because I didn't need it. I have never done any link building to Etsy pages, ever. I just use ALL the real estate for keyword phrases - materials, all the characters in the title, etc, and we rank on page 1 consistently for our products. Good keyword research for traffic and great pictures for conversions will take you far on the platform.

So I have to fill the description with useless, stupid text of explain my art, what it represents how I made it, etc to get better ranking?

@mindcrimes Pretty much? I wouldn't say useless, but for example, there are many keywords for art like "wall art" "door decor" and then you can put tags for materials etc. For example, if I sell a product with 7 variants of different colors, I'm putting every color in the handle, i.e. "red frame" "blue frame" etc in the product title. So if you were selling an art piece that was pastoral, you could do keyword research for trending phrases and for the subject in the image.

Here's an example:

Valley at Night - Hangable Wall Art - Unique Home Decor - Modern Art (or Traditional Art) - etc

If I have a road block over what to put in, there's always something like "Free Shipping" to add at the end. And I use EVERY material tag and regular tag.

Do you mind me getting in touch with you over PM to show you the store I have there? I'm using it as a place for my uncle's art (etchings, traditional graphic art - not the most popular or cheap piece of art). Managed to get like 6 sales 6 years :D. But it serves as a "portfolio" type so sales are not priority.

I talked to this seller today and he told me that he does send traffic+ backlinks to the listing to increase the ranking

yes that moght be true, but it didnt give me a consistent ranking, he doesnt provide me with any ranking guarantees like Etsygeeks does.

So he can send me traffic or backlinks, but all I need is proper rankings.

have you ever worked with etsygeeks before ?
 
Yes I'm one of the owners actually ^^. I will create a BST later this month, haven't found the time yet. So I cannot 'sell' you the service here as that is agains ToS, but believe me that it works.

I'm definitely interested in etsygeeks. How would the search result guarantee work, considering that the search results are personalized now and everyone sees different results?
 
I don't want to make this a sales thread, but rankings are based upon non-personalised, USA clientele first visit. As most clients reside in the USA. Anyway, please send me a PM or just send your queries to the live chat or email if you have further questions!

Thanks :)

Why did you write "all I need" if you are the owner. Probably didn't want to make this a sale thread. :D
My 2 cents: I tried the fiverr gig and got ranked for like 2-3 days and made 2 sales and it disappeared. So nlhead was right in this regard. The service is shit.
I will now buy his service and review it here. Not sure how he can rank without the same methods but we will see. Also feel free to send me a coupon haha

may I ask you one question? etsy concern with the conversation rate also. If they provide garbage traffic, this will effect the shop on bad way. What is your comment on it? Do you bring outside direct or search traffics for it? If yes, it will effect in bad way the shop

Are you saying that before Etsy could collect enough data on a user in order to perform search results based on personalization, listings that have more views and/or purchase from US customers, will show up in higher rank?
'cause this may explain why on 500 results for non-personalized user, Etsy display completely irrelevant listings, cutting out of the results relevant ones.
When I say irrelevant I also include listings with no keyword match in the title, 0 out of 13 tags, 0 keyword match in the description, 0 sales, 1 textual photo but a keyword match represented buy a sub-category coincidentally called like the keyword used
