      My sister has a store page on etsy.com where she sells home made crafts. And I want to help her rank higher on google with some of the other etsy stores. So i started to look at the other etsy store pages that are ranking well on google and found that they have a page authority between 48 to 52.

      So i looked at the backlinks of the ones ranking well on google with high page authority and found that many of their best links came from the internal search results page on etsy.com, and some only had one link from just an arbitrary etsy.com search page.

      I'm thinking this is because another product being listed on the seach page has a high page authority which then passes some of its link juice onto every other product on the page.

      But what is interesting is products are always being sold or getting added so even though you are on a search results page that happens to benifit from the link juice of another product the next time the page gets crawled you will be on a different search page.

      So i am thinking in order to maintain high page authority to you just have to have a lot of products listed so that there is a greater likely hood that you will find yourself on the same search page as another high authority page.

      I have not been doing SEO very long so i would love to hear what others think. I really have no idea, am i on the right track with this?

      Thanks

        I'm researching Etsy and I think its eye opening that you remind us Etsy has its own algorithm.  I suppose you mean within the Etsy URL site search.  But outside of Etsy ~ now that's Google's territory!

        Tons and tons of people are complaining that Etsy sales are down significantly.  So is this coming because Google has tossed Etsy aside?  Or is this because of a change in the Etsy algorithm?

        Is there anywhere outside of Etsy that keeps track of Etsys performance in Google search?

          Douglas, what keywords are those Etsy pages ranking for? If it's some obscure KW, then most likely it's in a noncompetitive SERP. I used to rank for iphone 3g in eBay.au, but my listing was 2 months old. I kept the ad renewing every 30 days. I set my quantity to 80 and everytime it got close to 5 or 10 left, then I added more quantity. I leveraged eBay's DA to get my listings on Google. But my target wasn't to rank higher on Google. It was to rank higher on eBay. Just by chance, I ranked high in Google. Focus on learning the Etsy algorithm instead because the market for your sister's products are on Etsy and are comfortable with Etsy. It's no different that ebay to me. When selling on comparision shopping engines, Google is an afterthought.

              I used to be an Ebay Platinum powerseller ($150,000/mo in sales). eBay has it's own algorithm, Etsy has it's own algorithm, Google has it's own and so on. Googles Page Rank has NOTHING TO DO WITH ETSY'S RANKING. Rand made a WBF a few weeks ago regarding Google PR. I highly suggest you watch it.

              Etsy (like eBay) probably uses customer ratings, # of ratings, time left until auction or listing expires. If you want to help your sister rank higher in Etsy, then learn Etsy's algorithm, not Googles.

                Unsolved Are links from staff profile pages no longer good for SEO?

                link building whitehat

                Hey there, We run a small site that lists lawyers and we have an opportunity to ask the lawyers to display a 'badge' on their own website's staff page, linked back to the page on our site that they are listed on. Initially I thought this would be good link building (i.e. the lawyer's own staff/profile pages on their website linking to our site where they are listed = a highly relevant link). I was less concerned about the authority of the law firm's sites, though these will range from sometimes low-ish to medium. I just assumed that Google would see the value in the lawyer wanting to link to our site where they are listed. However, our SEO has said that these days Google doesn't give much/any value to these types of links from individual staff pages. His advice was to try and get the badge added to one of their service pages (or their About page) which will be unlikely as the badge is person-specific. I thought I'd ask if this was everyone else's experience regarding Google not valuing links from individual staff pages? Thanks for you help 🙂

                When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?

                We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us.  The links are from relevant websites and topics.  Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

                Hello all, I was just wondering if you could explain the difference between all the links above? I'm confused as they all seem to be the same or similar and I would just like to clearly know what distinguishes them from eachother. Thanks for your help, Jayne

                How many links per week/month should a link building campaign acquire?

                I am running a linkbuilding campaign for my company.  I am mostly focusing on guest blogging opportunities and responding to emails from HARO.  How many links would I have to acquire each week or month to be considered doing a good job over a 6 month or a year time period? Thank you,

                Should i disavow yellowpages.com. Webmater tools shows 656 links coming from it.

                We do not have any manual penalty warnings but I am still concerned that Google will see this as unnatural and be penalizing us to a lesser degree.

                Do footer links pass less link juice?

                One of my best inbound links for PA and DA happens to be a footer link, curious if it's less valuable or has any value at all.

                Does Link Juice Flow From Banner Ads.

                Hi Guys I have been checking out a couple of my competitors and noticed that in site explorer there were sites that were passing what I would consider strong amounts of link juice for their banner adverts. I checked the anchor text which was always (Img ALT) Also the links are follow and placed on the home page too. So I wondered how google view this Im sure adverts were supposed to be no follow and if so then do you think there is a benefit from me taking one of these banner adverts to increase the level of link juice passing to my site.

                Two Links, Same Anchor Text, To Same Page. Is There A Point?

                Hey guys, My question is this. Let's say I have an article, "How To Golf". I post this article onto my blog. Then I write a complementary article to the first article called "Introduction To Golf". My plan is to submit this new article to various directories to build backlinks for the article on my blog. So here lies my question. Say I am allowed two links from my new article to the one on my blog. The anchor text I am using is "golf". Is there a point to including two links with the same anchor text (golf) in the new article pointing back to my blog article? When Google spiders the complementary article will it consider the links two separate links with the anchor text "golf" or will it just count the two links as one link. After all, the two links have the same anchor text and are both pointing to the same page.
