How do you know if your item made it to the front page?

I was wondering ... how would you know this? Does Etsy send you a conversation or something? Do you have to keep really good track? I mean, what if you don't hop on there every hour to see?

I just noticed a huge spike in my views today and found that a treasury I was featured in made it to the front page, which I was really excited about. But my photo was item 13 in there, so I have no idea if I was on the front page or not. Obviously it's no longer up, so how could I know?

I see shops with little buttons in listings all the time that say "on the front page of Etsy" so surely there must be a way.

Please help if you know!

Thanks, Erin

Hi! I know you can check on craftcult.com. Type in your shop name and it will let you know. Although I think you have to do it within 24 hours of the feature! Congratulations either way!

Congrats!

Go here http://www.craftcult.com and select 'the vault' and put in your shop name. You do not have to do it within 24 hours they have a lot of them archived.

Also go to http://statsy.org/vutrac.php and sign up and they will notify you when you are on the FP. Etsy does not notify you.

I forgot to tell you, click on vault to get to the page where you search for your shop name.

And it doesn't have to be within 24 hours if you go to vault. Type in your name and it should come up...you can also get a screen shot, so you'll be able to see if your item was actually on the front or just linked. If it was 13 it probably wasn't. But yay for the views!!

You can enter your shop name here: http://www.craftcult.com/
Click Heart-O-Matic then click featured. Your item was an alternate choice in FP. But you got great views :) Hopefully it will bring some sales :) You can also sign up for Statsy.org. It will send you a notification every time you are on the FP.

Thanks guys! This is great. I looked it up, and boo, I was not on the front page. But either way, I'm thrilled. I'm so glad to know about the craftcult website and statsy.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'd like to note that craftcult.com is not 100% accurate...I have been featured in a front page treasury at least once that does not show up in their vault.
