As many of you have noticed I re-launched NekkidTees last month after doing a major back-end system change to manage my shirts. I did this because I wanted to provide more information for search engines. I also wanted to add user photos to each product page, similar shirts, short descriptions and a starting base price.

I plan on adding new categories this week and have been focusing most of my time on creating new t-shirts based off searches customers are using to find my site.

The Kids and Babies sections are still under development.

The NekkidTees logo received a minor makeover as well. I removed the shirt and tightened the the characters up some.

Now only time will tell if all this work was worth it.

Once again NekkidTees.com, my side hobby project, has surpassed not just some but all of the top t-shirt companies on the web for the search term “cute t-shirts”.

While that’s only 1 term it is a very poplar term that generates and drives traffic to my site. I recently redid NekkidTees from the ground up which included the CMS I was using. I contribute much of my success to it but it helps to have a good background in what search engines are looking for when they visit your site. Most people spend days and weeks bloating their websites with garbage keywords, some people argue that the meta tags are no longer needed, others think you need to add an abundant amount of keywords to descriptions. Here is my tip. Just build your website, add descriptions, good titles, fill out ALL of your meta tags and then spend time advertising your site.

At the time of writing the current ranking for the term “cute t-shirts” is as follows for Google, Yahoo and Bing.

1. NekkidTees.com
2. Zazzle.com
3. cafepress.com

As many of you know I run NekkidTees.com. Recently I applied to be interviewed by Spreadshirt and was chosen! You can read the interview here.
