Judith Greathouse Success Story
From Content
|
| Judith E. Greathouse, Ph.D., is a designer of “functional” jewelry, and a MesArt artist. She owns and operates Stretchies by Judith Functional Jewelry, a website powered by MesArt. Judith is one of MesArt's best selling artists, who is getting new orders almost on a weekly basis. We asked her if she can share some advice other MesArt members about how she achieved such levels of success in promoting her website, and she kindly agreed to do it. |
"When I started putting my web site together, I went to selfpromotion.com. It is an old site, put together when people who wanted web sites had to use markup language. I merely used his advice in putting in my text.
I also did research on SEO. While I didn't understand all the nuances of their technical language, what I gleaned was to maximize the use of the title of your web site and to use keywords in context, not spamming the sentences.
I don't know if you are aware that 'functional jewelry' was added to the title of my home page because I learned that the weight given in search engines skews mostly by the title that is used.
After the change, I went from about the 7th page on a Google search return for 'functional jewelry' to consistently #1. Yahoo has me at about #5 (and to get any higher I'd have to pay $299 per year) and MSN or Bing return me on the first page as well."
