I found this out earlier this year (after being on Zazzle for 7 years … a major facepalm).
When coming up tags for products, you can use commas to separate tags with more than one word keyword or long tail search term instead of double quotes (which is still a bit alien to me, as the other PODs I’m on don’t employ the double quote delimiter). To give a few examples,
stunning eastern bluebird, distressed boho chic furniture,
instead of “stunning eastern bluebird” or “distressed boho chic furniture”
Hard returns after these multiple keywords just breaks them into separate single word keywords.
Who knew?? I have always used hyphens, but the commas are SO much easier. Thanks for this tip.
BTW, I see that for the final phrase in a string of ten tags, you need to end that phrase with a comma (which does not seem like the natural thing to do) or else the phrase breaks up and only the first word sticks.
PS. before my discovery of the comma as a delimiter of multiple keyword search terms, I was afraid that I was going to have to go even “older school” and resort to using underscores … and there is no way I can see a customer doing a search that way.
I find the easiest way is to separate words in the same phrase with the + symbol and use spaces between phrases / single word tags. For example:
cute+puppy big+eyes dog hound
Glad I stumbled over this post. Always used quotes for multi-word tags, as described on the page itself. Possibly this got changed. Much easier that way, even if I use Word to organize that whole description and template content.
