Disappearing act...

[Former_Member]

Has anyone else seen a drastic decline in their shop/item views in the last week?
Our shop was just starting to get views and favorites, and then...basically everything stopped.
Any thoughts?

Also, if anyone wanted to take a look and give me some feedback, I would be grateful!

Thanks

I've actually seen mine increase in the last week. But, I've been adding items, making treasuries, and advertising both on Facebook and Twitter.

My views have been good.

My views have gone down...I sell on etsy and yardseller and they went down both places...I've been advertising too, so I'm not sure what is happening with my shops.

My views, features and sales all dropped from the beginning of August, just as we were started to get regular of all three.....

does this have something to do with the search terms changing from most recent to most relevant?

I tag my items as well as I can and have now started added longer titles which seems to have gained a little more exposure but it's getting tough.

Would love to know anymore tips and advice for coming top of searches !!

My views have gone down, but that's because I feel I've been less active on Etsy over the past few days. I doubt it's anything to do with Etsy that your views have decreased, just a case of your usual audience perhaps just being elsewhere for a while.

My views are down but sales are up. I think that is the way it is supossed to be with the relevency thing. People who are looking for items like mine are actually finding them. While "looky-loos" who just like to see what's been listed aren't seeing them as much.

I guess I have been less active in the past week... We have only been selling since June, and so far it's been slow, most of my "sales" have been either bsp or bnr items. I am very grateful for the sales we've gotten, just impatient/worried, I guess.

My views have gone down DRASTICALLY in the last couple of days!

Thursday and Friday of last week (9/29 and 9/30) were my highest-view days in the last MONTH, but it's been straight downhill since then (like the stock market).

I'm using the new Seller Ads feature and have been fine tuning my keywords there (deleting keywords which were getting impressions but no views), so that shouldn't affect my numbers since those words got no views! I haven't listed anything new since Friday (4 items) because I had a BIG show on Sunday and didn't want to list stuff only to have to remove it a couple days later. I may list a few things today and see if that brings my numbers back up a bit. I have another show this weekend (two days!) but I can always delete things from my shop using my phone ...

Mine have gone up. It used to be if I went a day or two without promoting things would drop, now I can take a day or two off from promotion to get some printing done and they are still higher than they were before. 2 weeks ago I had a massive drop in views and favorites, I'm just thinking it was a slow week for my product types.
