Help! Tags and Titles??

Alright so Before thanksgiving, I seamed to be doing alright, I was getting between 50-60 views and for a little while I was getting a few decent sales. But ever since the Black Friday/ Cyber Monday weekend, (the supposed biggest weekend of the year on etsy.) My shop has been pretty much dead, and I'm lucky if i get 5 views a day. :(

I've edited/changed/added tags. (there are a few That i cant come up with the full 13 ) And even edited my titles to be more relevant and less 'fancy' But I've been told that It doesn't look like I've worked on them at all. :(

I still don't completely understand if they were doing so well before why I've all of a sudden dropped so low.

Can I get some help here? Some tips or advice on items? like what to change or what to add?

I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much for your time.

Re: Help! Tags and Titles??

You want to use various keywords and keyword combinations that buyers might use when looking for an item like yours.
You want to repeat the most important keyword frases in both your item title and item tags.

I'll take this set of earrings as an example:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/115034473/lamp-work-chain-link-dangle-earrings
You want to start your item title with the most important keywords (since search engines read from left to right, just like we do).
A possible title might be: 'Dangle earrings, beaded earrings, glass bead earrings'.

Now you want to repeat the same keywords in your tags.
- dangle earrings
- beaded earrings
- glass bead earrings
- lampwork beads
- handmade earrings
- chain link earrings
- beaded jewelry
- glass jewelry
- handmade jewelry
- flower beads
- flower earrings
- glass and silver
- blue and green
- blue green earrings
etc.

Thank you so much for that advice, BeaG! Some of the tags you mentioned I never would have thought to use. Well I edited that one Lets see if I can work on my other items too.
