Thank you, Kara, for another great video. ❤️

Good one. Thank you. It is very easy to forget about all the variations. A good reminder.

That's why it's good not to completely depend on keywords in these research tools. I think it's better just to be as accurate as you can in the title and tags of what you are selling cause the exact keyword match doesn't even matter anymore. I think these research tools like marmaleade & erank are great for knowing trends and what people are interested in. That helps designers know what they should be making. But when it comes to exact keywords, I've never found those to be that accurate. I've had listings that had keywords that judging by these research tools, I should have had gobs of views from and others that had "bad" keywords that did well. I mostly use these keyword tools for trends and ideas more than exact matches. You'll bang your head against the wall trying to find the perfect keywords to use cause they just don't exist.

This video gave me a great idea of some new keywords and I went and added them to my listings. Thanks!

Such a great explainer video on this. Thank you for this. It will truly help many people who comprehend the way the tools work.

Helpful, Thanks! Would love a demonstration of how, now that you have seen the search and competition data for these phrases, you arrange the words in your tags to not duplicate words, but to meet the 20 character limit and keep word order priority in the 13 tag limit.

The 3 art print thing is popular—it’s usually a big piece broken into 3 canvases that people put on their living room walls.

I’m not sure how this was confusing to someone as you’ve explained many times someone can type something various ways, even on Etsy. But I appreciate the video nonetheless!

Also, art prints have a lot of competition and can vary based on the trends or seasons. I’ve only sold a few, but my stickers are really the huge best sellers. There’s so many factors that go into art prints besides the keywords, mainly the style, material size and what it actually is. The simple fact is art is subjective and not everyone is going to like it and the ones that are successful are either simple/abstract or they have a huge following on social media. I’m not trying to sound rude either it’s just the reality. I get a lot of likes to some of my prints, but many have had no sales. That’s fine too, I can turn those designs into other things people might like or buy.

Also, is that google search console free? I never knew of that and would love to try it out!

It gives me impression that most of the people go crazy if comes to keywords strategy, the bottom line here for me is that we should of course keep aware of tags, but still the first impression of your website, quality of photos and quality of product determine the sells and than our scores and what goes after more traffic....that's what I think, I joined Etsy two months ago and I am still learning, but I try to look as buyer than seller, and as i said the first any website impression is always crucial moment for me to go any further...

Loved watching this video too Kara!Is it a good idea to open a general Etsy store and have a mix of a lot of niches and products in 1 store so that it becomes easier to manage the store from just 1 email account and from customer support perspective? I am planning to open 2 Etsy stores wherein 1 store will be dedicated to only giftable jewelry but my second Etsy store will have POD items like mugs, tees, sweatshirts etc from multiple evergreen and trendy niches and also digital download items like printables, canva templates, planners, social media templates to make it easier for me as I still work full-time so managing multiple Niche stores simultaneously will be difficult for me, would really appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks ahead of time🙏

[CassietheK]

Thanks for yet another great video! I sell digital planners and I run Etsy ads. Since Etsy seems to do its own placement of ads on Google, is it a waste of money for me to run my own Google Ads?

Is the takeaway here that it is better to re-use one keyword in multiple ways (three prints, 3 prints, etc), rather than diversifying keywords to capture more search term variance (print set, canvas art, etc)?

[MiZombie]

This is interesting, really trying to find more information on SEO, but i feel like stickers are sooo competitive and I'm in over my head

[Wbmfishman]

Very good informative. Off to Marmalade to try this tip out.

I think people are searching art of three is because they do not know the Termanology for paintings that have three canvases. Which is called triptych

[JayBenedictBrown]

It seems like in the long run this won’t be a thing. Treating 3 and three as different pieces of a search is a flaw in the engine. Gotta think in the long run that gets fixed. Same way with flipped order of two terms.
