Google indexes our category pages

[poopsheet]

I was thinking I read in the forums that the search engines don't pick up the eCrater categories but I just found out that they do! Or at least Google does. I was doing a random search (for one of my items, I think) and came across a result for one of my categories.

Of course, the search terms I used weren't the same as the category name so I tested another by searching for my exact category title and it was the very first result on Google. So I tried another, same result!

Maybe everybody already knows this but I was pretty happy to make this discovery. Obviously, descriptions still need to be packed with keywords but I'm really glad to know the categories are picked up too.

Yes this is true.

BUT what sellers need to realize and remember is that the category is NOT part of the item search - therefore the keywords from the cateogry need to be a part of the listing itself.

All your text pages will show up on google also
