I had tunnel vision for a while and knew that putting all my eggs in one basket was probably not the wisest step, especially since it was not my very own. As a vintage seller amongst 1,000′s of vintage sellers I realized I need to spread myself to get known. It was nice reading this article because it confirms even more that I am moving in the right direction!

For SEO, make sure your blog, your store, everything is actually HOSTED on your website.  Even if your blog/shopping cart looks as though it’s all on your site, it might not be.  Google looks for quality, consistency, relevance and breadth in posts.  If you know a little SEO, optimize everything – at least plug in a good title, meta description and h1s.  You should be able to get into the meta data.  Here are a few articles you might like: http://www.indiemade.com/category/resource/marketing
