Custom Web Design Giveaway Winner Announced

Judy Russi won the custom Web design giveaway. The random number picker gave me #9  and that comment number belongs to Judy who left a comment  on Facebook where this giveaway started. Judy has a shop shop on Etsy, http://www.etsy.com/shop/AngelsNEverlastings and said she would love to have her own web site too. Congratulations, Judy!


I will be posting Judy's Web site design as we work on it.  Judy will first receive a design questionnaire from me so that she can give me a good idea of the type of design she would like to have.  I work with design questionnaires for all custom designs including those in my Etsy shop for graphic designs, http://www.wingsdove.etsy.com.

Some day I will find out why my comments on Google's blogs disappear into cyberspace and never appear on any Google blogs including my own blog.  In the meantime, I will post responses to any comments in this section of each post. I can also be contacted through either of my Etsy shops, http://www.wingsdove.etsy.com or http://www.seowebdesign.etsy.com

ETSY Shop SEO Giveaway

I love giveaways, especially the giveaways that I am hosting. :-)


** The Giveaway: There will be a drawing for one ETSY Shop SEO service for every 10 responses to this blog entry: 10 entries = 1 prize, 20 entries = 2 prizes, etc. Each Etsy shop can only enter once but each entry from another Etsy shop that mentions your shop will give you another entry in the drawing. If 5 of your friends mention your shop, you will be entered 6 times; once for your own shop blog comment and 5 more for each time you are mentioned in another comment.

** In Your Comment: write about your own online Etsy shop - what you make and sell.

** The Prize: An Etsy Shop SEO includes, Keyword Research for the products or services you are selling through your shop and a detailed report on exactly how to use these keywords in your shop in the shop title, section names, shop welcome text, product titles and product descriptions. I also include link building tips that can be used to improve your shop rankings in the search results.

** The Drawing: will be held on Saturday, May 15. Entries can be made through Midnight, May 14 (Central Standard Time). The winner will be posted here on my blog on Monday, May 17, and through
my Facebook page,
my Twitter account,
my SEO Web Design Shop on Etsy and
my Graphic Design Shop on Etsy.

Feedback from one shop owner, http://www.MadeWithLovingHands.etsy.com: "What a fantastic help this has been. You did a great review and pointed out some very useful changes for my shop! If you are struggling with relevancy this will help."

SEO is complex and difficult to understand. Etsy.com has added SEO functions to all Etsy shops. SEO can be very beneficial when understood and incorporated correctly into a Web site or blog.

Most Etsy shop owners have never heard of SEO and struggle with optimizing their Etsy shops. Despite every effort to understand and incorporate SEO, most of the Etsy shops I have seen have made mistakes with their SEO efforts.

I have been designing and optimizing web sites since early 2003 and have been successful in getting my SEO customers to the first page or even the top of the search results for the products or services they are selling. My 30+ years in computer programming background helps in understanding the logic behind search engine optimization and I can help Etsy shop owners improve the number of visitors to their shops as well as rank high on the search engine results.
