Here is a little quick tip to get your Etsy shop further up in the Google search.
I have done some research and I have found the first thing that Google searches on Etsy when it sends out it's spiders is your Etsy shop Title.
Your Etsy shop title is located directly under your sweet banner. Take a closer look at the picture to the left.. you will notice my title..
This is how you change your Etsy shop title.
You need to use words that have relevance in your shop. You can change words around to see what combination results in the best results.
Feel free to search my shop title and see the results.. My Etsy shop is in the top 10 with many different combinations of searches pulled from my title.
Good luck in 2009!!

Thanks Tim!
Thank you! This is my very first tip...I'm off to tweak my shop title.
Hope you had a happy Turkey Day!
thanks tim- you rock
great tip! off to go fix!
Thank you Timothy! I will check that out.
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I wasnt even using mine.
That is SO good to know!!! :-) I am going to change it right now, thanks so much, as always Tim!
yes, bless Tim!! thanks again for sharing, i do believe you're brilliant! seriously.
Thanks for sharing. Never thought about this before.
You are fantastic! Why didn't we think of that? *<:o)
Thanks! I have already made the changes.
I just signed up for your newsletter - best thing I've done recently. Your reminder to do this Etsy adjustment conveniently popped up in my inbox and now ta da! It's done! Thank you!
Thank you I am trying out your tip.
Okay, I did it, too:-) Good thing I saw this, because I only had our shop name in that space.
Thanks Tim! You rock as always!!
Wow!! Such a simple, but powerfully effective, suggestion! Thanks!
thanks for the tip - I didn't have anything there!
BRILLIANT!!! *mwah* Thank you!
Excellent tip, Tim! Thank you. :)
That is great. I did not even know that I could change it. I think it is the same from when I first started!
thanks!
Thanks Tim. Great tip!
Silly me! And I thought I was being pretty thorough getting my Etsy Shop going. I didn't even HAVE anything in my shop title, because I thought it would be redundant to have BirkeloArt underneath my banner, which says the same thing. Thanks for calling my attention to my goof up.
Thanks for the GREAT TIP! You have many great tips on your blog. Thanks!

Great tip.
When I type in "Contrariwise Jewelry" in google, EVERYTHING on the first couple of pages of search results is about me.
When I type in the word, "contrariwise", my shop and my blog are 6th and 7th on the search results, respectively.
Thanks for that useful tip!
Wow, hadn't a clue--thank you!!
I knew that, but thanks for the reminder. I updated mine to 'wearable art leather handbags and Obama Bag'.
My problem is when I google armando javier....I don't show up. Everyone else does, but not me! got any tips???
hee hee I just searched my name and yup its in the top ten!! I am going to spruce it up a bit more though..Thanks for the tip!
Thanks a lot for the tip, I used it yesterday and it worked. Still trying to spruce it up a bit more, but I like the results.
Great tip Timothy...Thanks for sharing...again
Just when I think I've thought of everything...Thanks for the tips! They are greatly appreciated!
Thank you. Sounds like a great idea. Definitely going to try it.
This is extremely useful. Thank you so much for posting this tip!

Thank you! This is great information! I changed my title right away. Let's see if it works!
MUH-WAAAH (thats a kiss from me to you!) :)
Happy sales!
Interesting tip! I will try it! Also, just so you know, I googled 'Bringing Metal to Life', and came up with Metallica... you might want to work on that one some more... otherwise rock on, Tim!! ;)
Thank you so much! I changed mine and anxious to see how it goes.
Being new to the Etsy world is extremely challenging.
Wonderful tip! I changed mine a while back but I think I'll check it out again. :)
Timothy, Thanks for the great advice. I have changed how I link to stuff on my blog, linking with words instead of photos. I also tweaked my shop title slightly after playing with the keyword search a little on google. Your post here also prompted a funny blog post of my own. Many thanks.
That's brilliant, Tim!
Thanks for the tip. Can't wait to try it!
Thank you so much! A simple change to make, but one I had not considered before!
I did this and it worked to improve my searchability. I changed my shop description from 'Get some Zen' to 'Get some Zen: art with a haiku aesthetic'. Then I did a Google search for 'art, zen, haiku'. At first I wasn't at all visable; buried under an avalanche of books, blogs, articles etc, etc. After a couple of weeks, the spider got around to my shop and took up the new description, now the same search brings me to the top of page 3. A tiny bit of digging and there I am.
This is really great!!!!
cheers

Thank you! I just added a shop title to my etsy shop.
Wow I never realized the shop title was so important.
I just fixed it.
Use to say "it's all about the energy" Lot of good that was doing me...Not!
I used Handmade first like you and then added the other relevant words.
Thank you so much Timothy
