Horrible stats

[TwoMoxie]

Hi, Has anyone else noticed that their stats have tanked the last 2 days? I'm hoping it's just a fluke but our stats have taken a nose-dive yesterday and today. Kinda dissapointing considering we just had our best weekend ever since opening 2 months ago (we sold 3 items over the weekend) For us that's a huge success.

So, imagine our surprise when we ended yesterday (Tuesday) with horrible stats and today is off to another pitiful start. Of course, it's still pretty early where we are right now but normally we have much better stats than what we're seeing currently.
Is anyone else noticing a difference or is this just us? I'm hoping it's just a blip. Comments?

I've noticed my stats have gone down the past few days and I was wondering if the search engine has changed yet again in preparation for Search Ads. LOL, maybe if search ads work, I'll be back to where I was a few days before search ads.

My activity page does not match my stats for ex...
today
3 shop fav items
1 shop fav
1 sale
but on activity page (sorry no activity)?

I'm hoping it's a glitch too becuase my stats have been down, and it was kind of depressing me. I kind of stalk my shop stats on my days off, lol. I can't help it! I get so excited when my shop is busy.

Here's to things picking up in the next couple of days. *clink*

Mine took a dive yesterday and are still really low :(
I even listed something yesterday which usually makes my views soar.

[TwoMoxie]

I too was wondering about the search ads. But then I found out that they weren't launching them until today so wouldn't explain why yesterday was crappy. Hmm...hopefully things pick up for all of us. Double *clink*

I have the same problem. Also usually when I add a new listing I get at least 20 views on the first day.. I've had 7..

I hope it's a glitch :(

[TwoMoxie]

We usually get more with listings too. Not so in the past 2 days.

wow...weirdly i noticed that too...just thought everyone was being quiet on Etsy this week!!

[BrunoAndBetty]

I too have had stinky stats for the past few days. Even with my sceach ads running they're lower then usual. Hmm....

[Former_Member]

I have been getting zero views for new listings that stay that way for days and then maybe reach 3 or 4. Not like it used to be. You can see from my shop numbers that some of my items have a hundred or more views, that was before the change to relevancy. Any listed after that change are lucky to have 20.

[Former_Member]

yes i agree my stats were wacky past two days too! i thought i was just paranoid.

[Former_Member]

My stats took a nosedive today and I have no idea why. Maybe something to do with this new ad thing. If anyone has an idea, I would love to hear it, because I almost panicked when I looked and saw 3 views total for the day so far today. I have never had a day like this since I opened the shop!

[AngelqueCreations]

This seems to be a pattern, maybe it is a glitch, I have very low results today and yesterday as well

[Former_Member]

Same here! And where are the search ads???

[beevintageredux]

Reading through this has just lifted my pitiful spirits a bit! My stats are nearly non-existant, no hearts, no nothing. So if it's not a glitch, which I'm now kinda thinking it is, at least we're all in good company. Or maybe the world is just off enjoying the last of the pre-winter weather, and have all left their computers inside. Whatever the case, I hope everyone's activity picks back up and soon!

[EvieRaeCrochet]

I'm hoping it's a glitch as well because it's saying I have only had 2 shop views today and normally I am closer to 35-50. This is weird!

[Former_Member]

Thank you! My stats till 2pm today - ZERO!! I wrote to Etsy Support asking if there's a glitch!

5 whole views between 2 and 4!!

[Former_Member]

Mine have been all over the place. Today and yesterday were ok, but the few days before that were pretty bad. I just signed up for search ads to be started tomorrow, so I want to see what sort of affect that has on views/clicks. ........

I'm giving this new advertising a week to see how it pans out. It's only $5. I'm getting lots of "impressions" but had only 1 view so far. No sales.

My views go up whenever I post a new item, mostly because I cross-post to facebook and to my LiveJournal, so a bunch of my crafty-type friends run off to see the new yarn.

Time will tell.

[michemozaix]

My stats have tripled... Yay!! But before that they had tanked so badly that I'm just getting back to 'normal'.

[Untwistedsister]

My stats are down too. But I think if you've relied on renewing you're out of luck unless someone specifically searches for 'most recent' because the newly listed items aren't there anymore, they are search ad items. I don't think the bugs are worked out of search ads yet either. From the postings it looks like irrelevant items are showing up.

When things aren't happening it's time to go make things.....

[Former_Member]

Mine were best ever on Sunday, lower Monday, worse Tuesday and worst today! I'm hoping there is a glitch, please let there be a glitch!

[Former_Member]

My stats aren't that tremendous to begin with, but I didn't notice them dropping any over the past two days.
