Google Product Listing Ad

I was looking at my stats just now and saw that, under traffic sources, there was a category called "Google Product Listing Ad and I got 1 view from it. What is this? Does anyone know?

I saw something about it somewhere - I can't find the link to the article now. Figures.

Etsy is paying for us to have paid Google Ads from now until the end of the year. Go look in Your Shop - there's a link on the left sidebar, just under the Search Ads link.

Yeah, I got that the other day as well. I figured it was something about the Google sync I was reading somewhere. I was just happy I was being found outside of etsy.

Oh! That's cool! Thanks a lot. :)

Glad you asked that because I had that show up in my stats for the first time today too. Figured it was one of my listings in Google Shopping or something. Didn't realize Etsy was paying for these ads for us- cool!

Hey y'all! I got this same thing the other day. Same words, only 1 view. I'm not sure but I imagine its the little google web spider bots crawling around, checking out the worthiness of our pages which tracks and calculates how highly our shops and items rank in searches. It's important to factor google in to our listings and tags...

Again, this is just a guess, but it's plausible. :)
