As an example within yesterday’s listing at https://www.zazzle.com/z/a15mrzep?rf=238748736489762753 the hot-linked tags lead to wrong categories:
Wallpapers
luxuriousgeometricmarblemarble stone designhigh end wallpapersophisticatedmodern wallpaper designelegantdiy peel and stick wallpapergenerativecontent
All Products
luxuriousgeometricmarblemarble stone designhigh end wallpapersophisticatedmodern wallpaper designelegantdiy peel and stick wallpapergenerativecontent
For ‘Wallpapers’ the keywords “marble” and “elegant” hot-link to Decals & Stickers…
( Wall Art & DécorWall Accents & TreatmentsWall Decals & Stickers )
( Wall Art & DécorWall Accents & TreatmentsWall Decals & Stickers )
For ‘All Products’ the keyword “elegant” hot-links to Popular Elegant Gifts (search term “elegant gifts”).
To me that makes not so much sense. Wouldn’t it be better to link to some more beneficial categories? Like Wall Art & DécorWall Accents & Treatments with a subcategory called “Peel & Stick Wallpaper”? Most people will buy wallpaper for them self to beautify their home, not necessarily as a gift for someone else to enhance their home. No?
@NigelSutherland Oh, I see. Hmm. My idea was that Zazzle would show me more “marble” wallpapers if I click on that hotlinked tag (to name an example as showed above) - that’s why I posted here. I thought the categories were somehow a bit messed up.
I have to study this further with other items I will list (like with the button I have listed last night).
Thanks so much for responding.
I thought the categories were somehow a bit messed up.
They are. Wallpaper does not yet really have it's own sub-category. Its breadcrumb is only
Wall Art & Decor --> Wall Accents & Treatments when it should be
Wall Art & Decor --> Wall Accents & Treatments --> Wallpaper
If you go to the site map, wallpaper is not listed under Wall Art & Decor (or anywhere else).
You can find the breadcrumb directly under the tag section on the product pages, and each part is hot-linked to that cat/subcat. If you click that breadcrumb for --> Wall Accents & Treatments from a published wallpaper, it takes you here: https://www.zazzle.com/c/wall+treatments where if you use the cat filter to narrow it down you only get
Wall Art & Decor
Wall Accents & Treatments
- LED Signs
- Wall Decals & Stickers
- Wall Signs
Wallpaper isn't there. But wait, the filter next to Category is Product Type, and from there you can choose
- Wallpaper
- Wall Art
- Wall Signs
And then next to Product Type filter, Wallpaper has its own filter button showing, which lets you choose
- Textured Vinyl
- Smooth Vinyl
Same situation if you search just for 'wallpaper'. For some reason wallpaper is not included as a product type in the main Category filter, instead there's a new? separate filter for Product Type which has different products types than the Cat filter lists. So I'm thinking, since Category is decided by the Designer when they publish the product, that they're introducing the Product Type filter to sort specifically by actual product type regardless of what the Creator files it as. Which I think is a much-needed thing and will be super helpful if that's what's happening.
Anyway, back to your hot-linked tags. Both examples take you to the Wall Decals & Stickers sub-sub-category
https://www.zazzle.com/elegant+wall+decals
https://www.zazzle.com/marble+wall+decals
I'm guessing because, Wallpaper doesn't have its own listing under the Wall Accents & Treatments one.
