i am not a pro when it comes to SEO or search engine optimization but there are a few items i would like to share with any readers out there. so a few things that i have seen rank well with in google and is easy to do for a yahoo store is the meta description and besides page title are the only head tags that i work on. now for meta description i like to build them a certain way, i use the item at that page, a short item description then the item price. that will make a iphone charger look like this to search engines

Iphone charging cable, car charger for 3g and 3gs iphones and 2g itouch, $14.95

from what i have been seeing from google and other search engines is they like to see everything right there on the search page, one click to the item 2 to buy that item. why not. now like i said that i am not a SEO god and i know what i talk about from the books that i read and from googles webmaster pages.
