I believe so. Someone else will say for sure though.

Also, in case you aren't sure, when you go into your individual items at http://2ndappearance.ecrater.com any with multiple images will say so underneath the default image that automatically shows. There will also be arrows that allow the buyers to click through all the photos for that item. You can also click on the photos themselves for larger versions (as long as the photos you uploaded are larger than the default display size).

I'm not sure if that needed to be explained but I just wanted to make sure..

I BELIEVE that search engines FIRST look at your title, if it's a possible match then looks at your description. THe more times the key words show up help in the placement of your listing.
So put what you can in the title and always repeat it in the description

I was referring to the blurb under the store logo.

Thanks!

The Welcome message is in admin at Text & Colors > Edit Texts > Home.

I was wondering if the welcome blurb is picked up by the search engines.

I had just discovered that they do on eBay, so they must here....don't you think?

bigandtall has keywords in his Welcome. I notice that you do not. Perhaps we both should rework our Welcome?

Oh, haha, I forgot! Sorry about that.

I don't know for sure but I assume that they pick up that text. Maybe I should throw some keywords in there but I guess I haven't worried about it because I've tried to pack my metatags well..

LOOK at the top of your screen ... see search? Search is your friend. There are a few great threads here that talk about Meta Tags.

I decided the best way for you to learn ecraters and this forum is to TEACH you ... so todays lesson is the SEARCH feature.
