How To Get Your Clothing Site Ranked Up High In SEARCH ENGINES!
What up guys. A few days ago, I googled my own clothing line in google. The results blew me away.. i was actually on the first page of google for my niche "luxury streetwear" .. and top 20 on msn for "streetwear'...
Now, how did I do it? Well, a tip for everyone here is selecting the right "targeted keywords" and implementing them throughout your website. Make sure your file name so for pictures also include keywords that relate to your niche.
I should be posting more tips soon =)

Not much of a tip...
Use keywords that you want to rank highly in google.
Build your back links. Non reciprocal links are the best but link exchanges don't hurt.
Post comments on blogs that don't have nofollow tags with a link to your site with the keywords you want embedded in the title.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure Google's big "revolutionary" idea, in terms of search engines, is that their highest ranking sites are the ones that are most linked to from other legitimate websites. So getting your URL into forums, blogs, etc would be more feasible for high rankings. I'm sure keywords matter, but I don't know to what extent these days.
Having a content-rich website with useful information is more important than ever for SEO.

Keywords are very important!
Using the terms that you want to be highly ranked in google over and over again is important. You can have relevant content but if you don't use the words that people are searching for your site won't appear in google.
Re: How To Get Your Clothing Site Ranked Up High In SEARCH ENGINES!
Keywords are important. It is how Google knows what your site is about.
Links are more important. Some are more important than others.
Getting clicked on is helpful. Google assumes that if people click on your site they 'vote' for it.

thats one of the big issues with having a myspace/facebook page is that they almost ALWAYS outrank your real page.. this happens because those types of companies do some serious SEO.. Its great if your website is no where near and its getting you atleast somewhere above the others.. but if you are competing with yourself its a little backwards
ALSO, its not the biggest success for your website to come up in the top search results when you are using your company name as the search words. Its just that theres probably NOT a lot of companies with your same name.. YOU want to target words that you think people will search when looking for clothes like yours.. Whatever your niche is, target THOSE words, not your company name because people are not going to search that unless they already know you..
KEYWORDS are good, meta keywords arent the most important thing though... its more important to have related content INSIDE your website. Use alt tags and anchor tags as much as possible, write articles or a blog..ANYTHING, but make it ALL connect to your products..
Linksbacks have become the MAIN way to get up there in searches, but it HAS to be with more related websites that will link TO you

You have to work on your page rank for myspace just like anything else but the amount of times it uses your name is a lot. If you want your main website to come up first you need to be using your companies name a lot so your ahead of myspace. It's not hard.

thanks for the responses, its realy not that bad i guess, my facebook page is the first result followed by my shop in 2nd or 3rd, things could easily be much worse!
Re: How To Get Your Clothing Site Ranked Up High In SEARCH ENGINES!
thats not the reason myspace profiles come up first.. Sometimes if i am searching something that isnt even someone's name, that word that is just in someone's profile ONCE will pop up. Myspace has GREAT SEO in place, and it does have to do with the fact that there is a lot of relevant contnent and lots of content period, but if you just created a website and put "cool t-shirts" over and over again in your website in hopes that you will be #1 for google search for "cool t-shirts" you will be disappointed when you dont show up, and even MORE disappointed when you get blacklisted for duplicate content. You just can resuse the same thing over and over again unless it is dynamically placed CONTENT.
Re: How To Get Your Clothing Site Ranked Up High In SEARCH ENGINES!
Part of the reason myspace pages are ranked so high isn't any real super SEO, it's the fact that myspace.com itself is ranked very high because there are 10000's of links to it on the web. I'm sure some of that that PR (page rank) passes to the individual myspace pages.
A similar thing happens with CafePress store page, although they did actually do some search engine optimization.
