Default My products are not comming up on cafepress searches

I have been on cafepress for about a month now. I opened a premium shop and so far I have not received any sales. I know they say it can take awhile and thats ok. But when I try to search for my products they don't come up. I have tried searching the exact title of the t-shirt and I'm not comming up. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I know that the majority of most peoples sales are from the market place so if i'm not in the market place how am I ever going to make sales

Did you put tags on your designs when you uploaded them to CP? The marketplace search is performed using the image tags.

Descriptive tags that the search feature keys on. Go to your images and click on Add/Delete tags for an image. Enter words that your potential customers might search for.

Default Re: My products are not comming up on cafepress searches

thanks a ton. I have one more question if you don't mind. Does it matter how many tags I add? I have a ton of tags i would like to add in, so is it the more the merrirer? I once heard that no matter how many tags you enter the search engines really only pick up the first 10 or so. Is that true?

Not sure. I have heard some say "less is more" and others hold that you should use the maximum CP allows. There is a limit and the site won't let you add more than the limit. I'm thinking 20 may be the limit.
