Anyone feel like being a constructive critic?

Hola again! Ok, I think I got my site looking better. Added more different items (and plan on adding much more). Prices.. good I think.. descriptions.. decent. I think. Anyways, if anyone would like to visit and throw in some pointers. I’m getting visitors, but no sales. Maybe I can work a little harder on making the pendants better. Not sure what, or which direction to go.. except to keep adding more different stuff (which I plan on doing anyways..) I would be most appreciative for any feedback! Gracious!

I’ve started to read a book from Kindle on my Android. The title is SEO 2017. There’s about 230 pages. I’m really liking it. The author even gives links on where u can go to use the sites as a tool. As someone who has some knowledge of SEO, I can tell the author knows what he is talking about. I’m learning some things from it. It’s too much to go in on here, but I highly recommend it.
It’s by Adam Clarke.

I can see how your items could take advantage of the season. Like Halloween will be coming up in a little over 2 months. You could make pumpkin heads, white ghost heads, etc.

There are some real die hard Halloween people out there.

I know this is not a room for improvement question that you asked but it is something that catches me when I look at your booth.

Or maybe you would not want to do this because your items are specifically meant for something.


For your pendant only listings that use the keyword necklace in the titles, make sure to put that the listing does not include the string (necklace) in the description otherwise a buyer may just assume that the pendant will come with a string.

You could also put a link in the pendant listings where you would point the buyers in the direction to another listing where you offer the string up for sale.


For this listing [URL removed]

I’d make sure to put rear view mirror hanger or rear view mirror hanging accessory, rear view mirror car accessory, etc.


Then you’ve got these two listings here where the titles are [URL removed]

You want to be careful with titles that are exactly the same since Google shopping does not like this, so change it up a little in the title. That will get harder and harder to do the more that you have “like” items listed for sale. Note that Google shopping only reads the first 60 spaces within titles.


I referred to SEO again because there is still keyword stuffing, lots of special characters in the descriptions and within in your titles. It is Google that is taking a look at your site right now and you want to go ahead and try to make Google happy before Google looks at your booth in a negative light and penalizes it in a Google search.

I’ll go ahead and stop on the SEO now :) I’m just seeing a booth that I feel could do really well once fine tuned and do not want you to miss out on that.

Good luck!

Well I definitely need to work on that, but before I get too many people visiting, I want to make sure the site itself is decent. I mean.. are there any glaring flaws? How would SOMEONE ELSE see it? Does it sell? Stuff like that.. then I’ll work on driving traffic to it. :)

Hey awesome! Thank you for the time and diligence! It’s much easier for someone else to find these problems than for ME to, cause I think everything is pretty fantastic. lol Ok.. I’ll work on those. May take a quick nap first.. ugh. tired today. As far as keyword stuffing.. well I’ll work on it

I don’t want to mark it “answered” yet, as I would like anyone else to feel free to comment their own perceptions, though it looks like that may not really happen. :D

EmpressDepot says: August 06, 2017

You are welcome. I totally understand about not being able to mark it answered. This will probably be one of those times where a post cannot get marked as answered since different people will be able to offer different things they see. And lol on the “fantastiic.”

Have a good night and good luck.
