Today I'd like you to continue optimizing your pages and work on other suggestions as well. Please ask questions and show us what you've done, as you go through your pages. The goal is to have as many things fixed by the end of this week, as possible. Focus of the next 2 weeks will be on promotion and advertising, so please use this time to clean up your store and have it ready for the next step. At the end of the day today please list at least 3 of your best product pages - those pages that you've optimized for good keywords and that we'll use next week for promotions. Beside each of your product URLs and your Store URL, please list your Main and Secondary Keywords (with replacement volumes beside them) that best describe those product pages and your Store page (those are the Phrases that you used to incorporate in your Product Titles and your Product Descriptions!). We are going to use a limited number of pages for promotional activities, but we need to make sure, those pages are near perfect.

That doesn't matter, Kat!
As long as each term has some replacement volumes associated with them, I'd use them for page optimization. Primary Keyword is used because it describes your product better, Secondary (related) Keyword is there just for reinforcement and to make things look more natural, as you don't want to repeat the same term over and over.

Hi Kat,
Your Collections look better now. I like unique groupings of products, like "Little Girls Bracelets". I think it will speak to buyers who look for those products. For Color Collections, I'd add word Jewelry or Bracelets, like "Turquoise Jewelry" and not just "Turquoise".

Hello,
Can you explain what primary and secondary keywords are? Sorry, I feel I might have missed something along the way. Are the primary keywords for your store in general and secondary for the product itself?
Thanks!
ps. Nice banner Kat, looks really good!

k, I think the primary keywords are the ones with the most hits and the secondary keywords - next most hits. I think I've done it right. 1. Product URL: https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/34466/chainmaille-bracelet-in-silver-european-4-in-1.phpchain maille - 60,500 chain maille bracelet - 1,300 2. Product URL: https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/32258/floating-bead-necklace-in-blue-and-black.phpbeaded necklaces - 74,000 3. Product URL: https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/29165/agate-bracelet-w-blue-gemstones-and-crystals.phpgem stone jewelry - 6,600 chunky silver bracelet - 1,300 Store URL: https://icraftgifts.com/red-rock-designschain maille - 60,500 - used 3x in store page beaded keychains - 3,600 I didn't see "beaded jewelry" as a keyword example, but I guess that's too competitive or vague....I used the word "beaded" often in the store description, I don't know if that word alone has any replacement volume?

k, I think the primary keywords are the ones with the most hits and the secondary keywords - next most hits. I thought primary is the one you use the most. The one in the product title and at least once (better twice) in the product copy. Secondary is the alternate you use when repeating the primary again would be spammy-looking. I'm finding I generally have a primary and no secondary. My primary is in the title and twice in the description (once per paragraph). I hope that works!!

I see there is a bit of confusion with Keywords, so we'll have to spend a bit more time on this topic.
Primary Keywords are those that best describe your product and have some replacement volume associated with them. It's better to choose a Phrase of 3 words with replacement volume between 400 to 2000. Otherwise, it will be harder to rank for those terms, as many others will use them too.
Secondary keywords are all other very descriptive words that relate to the Primary Keywords, that you add to your copy to strengthen the theme and main focus of the page. Don't worry as much about their replacement volumes.
All together Keywords on the page make it easy for people to understand what your product is about and, at the same time, give replacement engines strong signal about the focus of your page.
Search engines look for Keyword positioning - First words in the Title and first sentence of a page copy is important, then they look at all other keywords and see if other keywords relate to Primary Keywords.
Here is how secondary keywords help. If most of the page copy is about "Apples, Apple Picking and Apple Pies", replacement engine will label that page as "Apples, Food Related" and not "Apple, products, iPhones etc" and will serve this page in the appropriate replacement results.
Is this making sense to you?
