Google Disallowed Word List and Information

Hi! Welcome to my store blog:) I am going to do something just a little bit different than the norm for me. I try to share things I know, things I learn, and things that would be helpful to all of you who also are on-line sellers. Google, as we know, is one of the highest search engines used to find, and show our products that we list for sale. So, the list I am about to share here is in no way perfect, and will not be 100% complete. Why? Google is forever changing, but this list is close to what I have seen, read, and gathered thus far. Listed are words to avoid putting with your ads, titles, listings, etc.

GOOGLE DISALLOWED WORDS

WARNING: Attempts to cheat the Google system using misspellings, asterisks, or other tricks are considered abuse.

PROMOTOTIONAL WORDS:

- free (including hyphenated words such as pet-free, smoke-free, hands-free, etc-free)

- sale
- vacation
- travel
- travels
- Sold (will make your listings go to the bottom of Google's List)

ANYTHING ALCOHOL & TOBACCO RELATED WORDS:
- smoke, smoked
- champagne
- whiskey
- beer
- cigar
- cigarette
- rum
- rummo
- wine
- vine (supposedly because vine = wine in another language)
- vineyard
- camel (as a cig brand, otherwise it's showing up)
- brandy
- gin
- bordeaux
- burgandy
- ale
- hemp (?)
- absinthe (type of alcohol)  

ADULT & EXPLICIT / NAUGHTY WORDS:

- anime (however "manga" is allowed)

- strip

- stripper

- adult; including hyphenated words such as adult-size

- butt

- sexy/sex

- affair

- ale

- chick

- sensual

- offensive language

- knife/knives

- nude

MISCELLANEOUS WORDS: 

- postage (or postage stamp)

- collecting (collectible and collect are okay)

- thorny

- precious metal

- muse

- corsage

- gun

- Z (as stand alone letter)

- double @ (i.e.: L@@K, B@@BS)

- fireworks

- bank

PRICE RESTRICTION: Google Base will not take items under US $1

CAPITALIZATION KILLS!! Only first letter of words capitalized. 

No punctuations, or markings used such as  : - , ; " " ( ) * !  and etc.

*Google and Google Base are 2 different search engines. Rejected listings in Google Base (Google Product Search / Google Shopping) may still appear in Google. 

I hope this list will help other fellow sellers in trying to understand Google. No one will have a complete list of this as Google is forever changing. For some of the words that are disallowed I would suggest being creative & open a thesaurus! Wishing everyone the best of luck, and I do hope this can help you. Take care, and have a great day everyone!:)

 

Bonanza, eCrater, ArtFire . . . Vintage, Collectibles, Dinnerware, Kitchenware, Glassware, Home Decor, Pottery

Hello Friends & Followers. Happy to see you visiting me, and that you stopped by:) Sorry, didn't realize how I had been MIA here due to moving treasures around between marketplaces, making decisions, finishing up with some items of gluing-lace-sequins-painting, etc. This past weekend was not a good weekend with other issues, and I finally got myself a little exhausted from everything. So, shut computer off early last night--couldn't hardly stay awake, made some notes to ME, and here I am today doing catch ups, researching, and getting ready to work on listings again. 

So far I have treasures listed between Bonanza, eCrater, and also ArtFire too. I am really truly liking ArtFire, and hoping to have my other store there active soon. Letting glues dry, going thru some linens I have here of doilies, table cloths, and etc. Now, need some envelopes for some of those things & I do have a list of things I could start listing with that store...I hope to do this soon.

Looking at calendar this weekend, and WOW! We are 1/2 done with October, and November is fast approaching us. Thanksgiving, and it really is not much longer and it is Christmas for all of us! Where has this time gone, and how did it go by so fast? 

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and wishing all of you a super week! Best of luck to all sellers, and good luck to all shoppers too:) Visit me when you can, and most of all, thank you for visiting with me here!:) Take care everyone, and best of luck to all:)

Holiday Shopping ~ Christmas, Vintage, Collectibles, Used Products

Hello again to all who stop to visit with me, are browsing my store, and out surfing. So happy you stopped by to visit, and view!

I usually am not the pushy type of person. I am easy going, carefree, and love doing what I do. But, I do want to remind everyone . . . HOLIDAYS . . . are fast approaching for ALL of us! Coming fast for the sellers trying to get all their stores, booths, websites, and products ready, but it is also fastly approaching for the shoppers to.

Just heard some reports about September Retails numbers were very strong last month. This could mean a strong holiday season for us all. If any of the shoppers are like me . . . I have been watching my pennies, not buying anything, being a good girl all year . . . But, I am getting antsy, and ready to shop!

So, everyone make note, it is predicted this will be a good season. But, also remember other retailers are aware of this, and will be gearing up with coupons, sales, and doing what they can for the business also.

Hope ya'll have enjoyed this, and again, Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams today. Have a great Shopping Day Evening Everyone!

Hope you enjoy your Online Treasure Hunting with Me!:)

New Store With ArtFire...Come Visit Me!

Hello & Welcome to all who are visiting me today! Please stop by to view my new store I have started with ArtFire http://www.LilacsNDreams.artfire.com I hope to be adding more inventory, and thought there would be more to view. I keep being delayed. Hopefully by Monday I have more items listed there.

As you can see I am showing items at this time for my passion of vintage, collectibles, dinnerware, kitchenware, glassware, home decor, pottery. If you do not see something for what I have mentioned, I only mention it now as I am bringing more items in to fit with those categories.

I have not been active with ArtFire long, but what I have done so far I am still very much enjoying it. I am starting to see a few familiar faces now & then with some members from other marketplaces too. We all want the same thing...to succeed with what we are doing.

I hope to see that ArtFire can soon add a few more categories for the vintage area as that is a great interest of people still, and to help accomodate some of us that sell different forms of vintage.

Here is to wishing everyone a great weekend, and of course the best of luck to All!:) Thanks for visiting with me, and I do hope you can enjoy your Online Treasure Hunting with Me!:) Happy Hunting!:)
