Hello everyone, I am posting to this for the first time. I am just getting started with SEO for my own website, a jewelry retail store. I am having troubles in optimising the content of my website. The current content (product description) is more of the creative type. Is it okay to keep it this way or should it be done according to keywords research? Please help!

Thanks in advance.

    hello,
    writing a content in a creative way is nice but if you need a good ranking then keywords are the main thing to be focused on. keywords only help to bring traffic to your website.

      Should I focus on using as many keywords I can or should I try to optimize the content around one or two keywords?

          Agreed. Get your targeted phrase in the title tag, a variation in a heading (it doesn't matter if it is h1, h2, h3, etc.) and make sure it is in the text at least once. Including LSI phrases (related phrases that Google associates with the targeted phrase) are far more important than repeating the targeted phrase.

    With most eCommerce sites, the pages that have the most potential for bringing in a decent amount of traffic are category pages, the home page and resource guides. Unless a specific product is extremely well-known and generates tons of searches (like the latest generation of an iPhone or X-Box), product pages are the last things we worry about optimizing for SEO.

    We look for longer tail opportunities around the keyword phrases most people search with, which are almost always category-type search phrases, "best" search phrases or "buy" search phrases.

    Creative content is good for bringing the traffic and drawing the genuine audience but try to make the content written around the keywords. As keyword based content can boost your traffic and can help your business.With most eCommerce sites, the pages that have the most potential for bringing in a decent amount of traffic are category pages, the home page and resource guides.

    The key idea here is relevance, which is why longtail is the way to go as someone mentioned.

    Don't stuff keywords, keep the content unique and creative but make sure that people can find you by putting in the right keywords 1-2 times.

    Google is really refining search fast to focus more on how humans search and less on what page has what keywords so thinking about what the end user might be searching for is the way to go.

    Also product videos when optimized for SEO are crushing it for some of my clients might wanna look into that as well.

    zerokaata,

    I have to agree with most of what everyone has to say here. Anymore you really do not have to think too hard or get too nit picky with % of keyword density, and metrics of so-called SEO tactics. Today's search algorithms are pretty advanced and smart enough to have thier own BS meters. Just write as you would talk naturally and you will not be picked up as spammy by the search engines and you should do alright. Genuine descriptions and titles without KW cramming are going to serve you best.
    Would you mind PMing me your website? Just curious to take a look and maybe I can make some suggestions based on what I see.

    Yes, content optimisation is essential for an e-commerce website. It is only the content with the help of which yu can improve the ranking of your site on search engines like Google. It should be original, relevant and all keywords should be properly stuffed in it for improved results.
