Googling Second Life

Hiya, I wrote up a blog entry about some issues I have with 'find' and how it affects the game, I thought you all might find it very interesting.

I also discuss how as a shop keeper you can make yourself appear more on 'find'. Go have a read, it should be useful and profitable

I hope 'find' is on the list of things to improve!

Why must i go read your blog??

Post it here, please.

Excellent tips, Pirate Thanks for the link.

It's really long Merwan, so I can't plop it out here (inuendo, inuendo. Willow Zander incoming!)

ROFLOL!

Ok - on my way.

Anyone tried my tips yet? Anything to report?

They are good tips, but I must make one correction here; if you write "dresses" in your store description it WILL show up in Find if someone types "dress". I've done it myself.

Also, not to nitpick but there IS limited space. They're great tips and I try to make my store descriptions as accessible as possible (utilizing much the same logic as yours) but when you've got makeup AND shoes AND pants AND dresses AND skins AND shirts, not to mention formal wear, lingerie, and men's clothes, and possibly hats and animations and hair (not that I have all that stuff) -- you have to decide what you want to put in.

Another thing is, you still want to make the description appealing, throw in a little advertising, which also takes up space.

So it's a little tough to do sometimes especially when you've got a huge variety of things to sell.

Good points, and thanks for the tips on dresses. Yes, they would show up under 'dress'... duh me!

I think a nice description should read well as well. I'm more likely to go to a place with a good description than one which has just a list of keywords. Excellent tips! Thanks!
