Retro Clothing Shopping for the Past Online

Remembering Retro Clothing

Today you have the 2000′s the 90′s, 80′s and many still rock the 70′s. Teenagers today refer to the 60′s, 50′s and 40′s as “Vintage” and only special parties or occasions warrant the option to wear these outfits.

Some of us don’t think we should let go of a fashion seemed to be forgotten. Not collectors items, but affordable replicas of the pin up dresses, greaser work shirts and even children’s retro clothing are reaching the market due to the brick and mortar and internet presence of CatsLikeUs.

CatsLikeUs :: Retro Meets Internet

Given the ability to create an online market for itself, CatslikeUs of the Buffalo NY area is taking a retro style clothing store from a local state of mind to a National clothing store by increasing its web traffic with natural flowing traffic. Taking basic SEO measures, CatsLikeUs target their keywords based on the content they provide to their customer base. Not reaching outside the text content of their shopping pages providing false keywords increasing their chances to rank higher according to their content.

Internal linking of web pages within your own site will increase the chances of your internal pages getting indexed along with the content page originally being ranked because of the pages hierarchy being closer to the home page.

CatsLikeUs.com will be indexed before shop.CatslikeUs.com due to it being the main URL and not a sub domain or a child page. Inter-Linking your pages will allow users to navigate as they read and increase your chances of staying on the site and converting to a sale.

SEO Basics

Put in the Time, Get the Results

If you want to learn how to do SEO, you really need to read. If you don’t plan on putting in the hours, don’t bother starting the project. A lot of times new website owners will go full board for a month or two, then stop what they are doing because it gets mundane and extremely boring. Well that is what SEO is, repetitive, mundane tasks that all together make a great and effective SEO campaign.

Pay to Learn SEO?

I cannot discredit things I have never myself experienced, but I probably wouldn’t waste my money on school for SEO only because of the nature of search engines and their ever changing algorithms. If something is a moving target, how could you teach on the past? Only to show bad habits that have been stopped, but if you never knew a bad habit, the times you do something that may effect your rankings negatively only in multiple examples or exploiting, not when you do it accidental or you just don’t think its wrong. My number one rule in SEO is if you don’t feel right doing it, don’t do it.

Anyone can do SEO
