The user receives warnings from Etsy for "writing to a computer" when using SEO techniques that involve repeating keywords in titles, despite these methods being effective. They question why titles must be "keyword drags" and if listing page keywords aren't sufficient, implying a need for Etsy's SEO system to allow for more natural, customer-friendly titles while maintaining search visibility.
Etsy and some of the Etsy guides warn against this kind of SEO. I constantly get warnings saying it looks like you are writing to a computer. Then it tells me to write simple easy to understand titles for customers. Does Etsy not know know how Etsy works? More importantly, why does the title have to be a keyword drag rather than a nice title. Are the keywords we create in the listing page not sufficient?
