Anyone else seen a reduction in shop views lately?

[salishsilvernsea]

Just wondering if anyone else has seen a reduction in their shop views lately.

I know there is always work to do on SEO to get found in search, but I was getting to the point where I was seeing a pretty consistent number of views each day (around 60-100 a day but now am lucky to get 40-50 a day). Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe this is the calm before the storm (I hope:)

Thanks!!!!

Yep. For a while I was in the 500's, now it is about 250. My sales were 1-2 a day and now haven't had one in a week.

Mine have been extremely sporadic. One day I'll have super super low views, and the next they will be back to normal. But I've had more low days than normal days recently.

Etsy changed the categories sections...I think that might be the problem...

[Former_Member]

Mine is on an upswing after some disturbingly low views. Hang in there. Maybe it is the change in browsing options.

I'm inexperienced with all this....does anyone know if it can trend this way before the holidays???

[Former_Member]

Major!
I was having 200 to 300 views a day, but today I have only had 60! :(
Sigh...I have been working on better tags, titles and descriptions today to try to fit better with this whole change in searching for items...
The work never seems to end...
Oh well...hopefully your right about the calm before the storm! :)

I am usually at 100+ views by this time of day, and I haven't had a view in like 2 hours, and am sitting at 50 for the day so far. I blame this stupid new category stuff.... probably means entire revamp of my titles, tags, and what not to be seen again....

[salishsilvernsea]

Thanks for sharing. It makes me feel better to know that there are some who are in the same boat as me. I need to do some research on recent category/browsing changes...

My views have sunk since a couple weeks ago. I was really hoping with all the work I put in since summer that October would pull through. If this is any indication, it's going to be a very quiet holiday season for me.

[ThePlaidPineconeCo]

On the contrary, mine have gone from about 50 a day to 200 a day consistently over the last 2 weeks. Not sure if this has something to do with recently adding about 30 items or not, but views and sales are way up for me since October began.

I just got my shop up and running a few weeks ago, so I am doing a jig if I hit 75 views in a day.... I can hardly wait till it is in the 100's!
I guess I am a little confused about the new categories. What all did they change? I guess I wasn't paying attention. I am still just trying to figure out if my tags are good, and they changed it all?...LOL... Go Figure

Here is a petition to change it back http://www.etsy.com/teams/7714/ideas/discuss/11054839/page/1

Way, way down for the past month...

[Former_Member]

I only have 19 views today. Something is wrong..

[MadeByMari]

Mine are way down. I've gone from 60 to 10... where are they?

[Former_Member]

Ours have gone down drastically. Hope cold weather brings up the views

[Former_Member]

My views have been super low all summer - not picked up yet!! I keep hoping for the holidays to change that, but haven't seen an upswing yet!

[OneBlueDragonfly]

Too many changes with Etsy & goggle, my shop has become invisible.
Darn, right before my first Christmas season open.

[HolditRightThereBags]

Much fewer views the last two days.

[Former_Member]

my views are all over the map. one day will be 100 or better; the next day, I'll be lucky to hit 25. I still get a little excited if I have a good day of views, but I don't obsess about it like I used to

[seemomster]

WAAAAAY fewer views today...

[GreenleeAndVine]

My views and sales have been down for a couple weeks. I don't know why but it is freaking me out. I was hoping things would get busier after summer but they are getting slower instead.

[LotsALovies]

My views have gone down recently, not that they were that high to begin with. Hoping this will change.

[philosophiacreations]

I did but then when I checked on Craftopolis, my views were back up to normal. Same deal with my hearts.

138 views & 119 hearts yesterday. 66 views and 74 hearts today, according to my shop stats. On Craftopolis I'm up to about 200-300 views daily for the past while.
