If you missed the chat or if you’re not on Twitter, post your SEO questions here and we will try to help you out. Or if you have some brilliant advice or have learned by experience what works and what doesn’t you can help each other out too!
We will follow up the chat with a series of blog posts about SEO and what you can do to help your shop be seen by more people.
We will be creating lots more SEO tips for our blog that specifically show Folksy Sellers how to get the best out of their listings.
Then we can also help with how to raise awareness on search engines of your shop through social networking and through writing a blog - these can all help with building links into your shop which is a big part of seo. This is really vital when there are lots of people selling similar items to you and you want to get noticed.
Although when you apply that to your Folksy shop there will be areas you have no control over - ie navigation and usability - but the areas where you can control are your images, descriptions, titles and also building links back into your shop through your own blog and through getting featured on other peoples through networking both on and offline.
Looks like you all had a good chat, I appreciated the message inviting me to attend but unfortunately we were out yesterday for the day.
As a web developer, for coming up to 18 years now … Boy things were different in the early days !!! google wasn’t a main player then !!
I do think we need to keep having these discussions on a regular basis, not just because new people are coming online all the time. But things change … A lot !!! And we need to keep up with things like changes to webmaster guidelines and how not only Google but Twitter and Facebook etc are changing the way they work and use and present our content.
Great to be able to read your chats today - thanks
