· Do not use HTML tags or special characters not on a standard keyboard
· Do not use other Type 1 High ASCII characters or symbols (such as ! * $ ?)
· Do not use all capitals: THEY MAKE CONTENT HARD TO READ
· Do not capitalize: · Conjunctions (and, or, for) · Articles (the, a, an) · Prepositions with fewer than five letters (in, on, over, with, etc.)
· Do not include:
· Promotional messages such as “sale”
· Subjective or time-sensitive comments i.e. “great value” or “hot this year”
· Too much information. Titles should contain the minimum information needed to identify the item. More information makes it hard for customers to scan and identify items, and may harm your search results
· Price or availability
· Product features, product descriptions.
