List For Google Disallowed Words

Hi! Welcome to PassnItOn blog:) I am going to do something just a little bit different than the norm for me. I try to share things I know, things I learn, and things that would be helpful to all of you who also are on-line sellers like me:) Google, as we know, is one of the highest search engines used to find, and show our products that we list for sale. So, the list I am about to share here is in no way perfect, and will not be 100% complete. Why? Google is forever changing, but this list is close to what I have seen, read, and gathered thus far. Listed are words to avoid putting with your ads, titles, listings, etc.

GOOGLE DISALLOWED WORDS

WARNING: Attempts to cheat the Google system using misspellings, asterisks, or other tricks are considered abuse.

PROMOTOTIONAL WORDS:

- free (including hyphenated words such as pet-free, smoke-free, hands-free, etc-free)

- sale
- vacation
- travel
- travels
- Sold (will make your listings go to the bottom of Google's List)

ANYTHING ALCOHOL & TOBACCO RELATED WORDS:
- smoke, smoked
- champagne
- whiskey
- beer
- cigar
- cigarette
- rum
- rummo
- wine
- vine (supposedly because vine = wine in another language)
- vineyard
- camel (as a cig brand, otherwise it's showing up)
- brandy
- gin
- bordeaux
- burgandy
- ale
- hemp (?)
- absinthe (type of alcohol)  

ADULT & EXPLICIT / NAUGHTY WORDS:

- anime (however "manga" is allowed)

- strip

- stripper

- adult; including hyphenated words such as adult-size

- butt

- sexy/sex

- affair

- ale

- chick

- sensual

- offensive language

- knife/knives

- nude

MISCELLANEOUS WORDS: 

- postage (or postage stamp)

- collecting (collectible and collect are okay)

- thorny

- precious metal

- muse

- corsage

- gun

- Z (as stand alone letter)

- double @ (i.e.: L@@K, B@@BS)

- fireworks

- bank

PRICE RESTRICTION: Google Base will not take items under US $1

CAPITALIZATION KILLS!! Only first letter of words capitalized. 

No punctuations, or markings used such as  : - , ; " " ( ) * !  and etc.

*Google and Google Base are 2 different search engines. Rejected listings in Google Base (Google Product Search / Google Shopping) may still appear in Google. 

I am hoping this list will help other fellow sellers when trying to understand Google. No one will ever have a complete list of this as Google is forever changing. Also, they never really do give out full details/lists of things for us all to see. For some of the words that are disallowed I would suggest being creative & open a thesaurus! Wishing everyone the best of luck, and I do hope this can help you. Take care, and have a great day everyone!:)

Please Help Me....Free Banner, Avatar, Template Designer to Use

Hello everyone, and hope ya'll are enjoying your day/weekend thus far:) I am having an issue, and wanted to put a note out for everyone if they could kindly help me with this issue I am having.

I have used BannerFans.com for a very long time. I used them for all my banners I made, my avatars, etc. For past couple of days, or so there has been an issue to sign into the site...Link is broken, not found, etc. I am like...Oh No! Now what? So, I am asking for assistance from those around if you could make some suggestions to me...I would greatly appreciate this. With bannerfans I could easily navigate around there, use my own pics, chose of avatars to use, choose size of items being made, normal color charts to use, borders, and etc. Best of all....it was free too:) 

If anyone knows of other places that could be used, and that does not put their link visible on the items being created, I would so appreciate this. I wanted to work with my websites, and wanted to rearrange, and make some buttons to be used on the site, but now am at a loss. Thanks so much for your consideration, and co-operation with this everyone. I appreciate it:)

Well, better be working on some other things. Take care everyone, and have a splendid day! Happy Weekend!:)

Repurposed Recycled Items soon to be listed at ArtFire Store

Unsure of item at this time, what to do, what to add, etc. 

I found some lace that has a touch of opaque look in it. I could not catch how it changes oh so lightly in the light, but was just enough to give this piece a little character:)

 I liked where I came with this, but one of those things where it felt as tho it had a little of something missing from it too:)

I didn't really want to add bows, or more flowers to this as the gorgeous roses are in center of bowl, and flower design in the lace I used. I didn't add a whole lot, but a few pink sequins into the center of some of the flowers showing in the lace. Just a little touch to this

This resembles the other one I made like this. Only difference is the lace in this one is not as wide as the lace used with first item done like this. I felt these pcs worked well together, and with the lace, pink pearls, and ribbon bows it was just enough of a dainty touch with this:)

Bonanza, eCrater, ArtFire . . . Vintage, Collectibles, Dinnerware, Kitchenware, Glassware, Home Decor, Pottery

Hello everyone, and sorry to be gone from here so long. Didn't realize I had been MIA:) Been busy with listings, pictures---dealing with other marketplaces for things I sell. But...have also been busy with a few more items for this store that I am hoping to have filling up here soon. Went through some of the doilies here, table cloths, and little linen things like that to add with my repurposed-upcycled items I want to list with ArtFire. Not happening as soon as I thought, but I am about ready. I figured if I had my other venues in order, I could focus a bit more with supplying this store:)

When you have a chance, seen my other venues operating right now with vintage, collectibles, dinnerware, kitchenware, glassware, pottery at LilacsNDreams bonanza, and LilacsNDreams eCrater. Love the visits with all stores I have, and to hear from you too:)

With all of those stores at this time I do accept payments with Paypal, Google Checkout, Revolution Money Exchange, and POSTAL money orders. A Postal Money order will clear right away with no delays in shipping. 

Ok, off to get some things moved around between my stores, and check on things glued & drying:) Wishing ya'll a great week, and best of luck to all sellers, and shoppers too:)

Refurbished, Repurposed, Upcycled Treasure Accomplished

Enclosing 3 pictures of a few more items done. The first one is similar to the first one done, but different size of lace. These last 2 showing might not be fully done yet. Above I am thinking about some small small mini bows, or some sequens, or something. This last one....not sure what it is, but does not feel done yet. I might have some lace wide enough to add around the rim of this bowl to help fill in a gap that feels like is there. 

Anyway, off and running again. Working to get things done, and get stores ready for the holiday season. Have a super evening everyone!:)

Holiday Shopping Season ~ Christmas Shopping Season

Hello again to all who stop to visit with me, are browsing my stores, and out surfing. So happy you stopped by to visit, and view!

I usually am not the pushy type of person. I am easy going, carefree, and love doing what I do. But, I do want to remind everyone . . . HOLIDAYS . . . are fast approaching for ALL of us! Coming fast for the sellers trying to get all their stores, booths, websites, and products ready, but it is also fastly approaching for the shoppers too.

Just heard some reports about September Retail numbers were very strong last month. This could mean a strong holiday season for us all. If any of the shoppers are like me . . . I have been watching my pennies, not buying anything, being a good girl all year . . . But, I am getting antsy, and ready to shop!

So, everyone make note, it is predicted this will be a good season. But, also remember other retailers are aware of this, and will be gearing up with coupons, sales, and doing what they can for their businesses also.

Hope ya'll have enjoyed this, and again, Thanks so much for visiting with Passn It On today. Have a great Shopping Day Evening Everyone! Please, when you have a chance, visit with my other blog at LilacsNDreams.blogspot.com

Hope you enjoyed your visit with Me!:)

Selling on ArtFire, Repurposed Handmade Projects, Crafting

Hello again to Everyone who visits, and welcome to my blog!:) After dealing with things around the house this morning, I did settle on some lace to use for yet another glass candle stick, and plate. I have an identical glass candle stick, and plate like one previously made. I used the last of that particular lace that is pictured with it. But, did find another lace identical to it, and a bit smaller in size. Same color though. No 2 pcs can ever be identical, right? 

Then, I found a simple homco glass candle holder that is a small one for a pillar candle. It has not sold in my other store I have, so I have washed it again, cleaned, air dried it, and it is now glued with a small bowl. If you like the homer laughlin plate with that candle stick, you are sure to like this homer laughlin eggshell bowl that has been added with this candle stick:) Both pcs are small, dainty like, and will be great for little trinkets, adding some little soaps, or some cotton balls in your bathrooms, and many possibilities with it:)

I have been busy with my other store at artfire filling it with treasures, and am still having fun around there too. I would all of you to know, and remember that ArtFire is not only handmade, and crafts...that is the majority of the site, but it is also for the vintage/antique sellers out there too. Should see some of the beautiful glassware, serving pcs, dinnerware, and etc being shown there. Very nice, and they are well presented for your viewing too:) Have a look at http://www.artfire.com when you have a chance. You will enjoy the visit:) You can also visit my other store there which is found at LilacsNDreams http://www.artfire.com/users/LilacsNDreams

Time to go & check on things. Anxious to get my other project done:) Seeing how the glues have dried, and if I can add a bit more for it to set, and dry untouched:) Wish me luck. Ya'll take care, and thanks again for your visit!:) Look forward to sharing with you again:) Have a super Tuesday!
