OOAK or not?

I'm trying to figure SEO and I think I have found something. Do you find that your item that OOAK items are slower to get found through SEO? I'm finding that if I sell an item and remake the exact one it's getting alot more favorites. Anyone have the same experience?

Well, a OOAK item is 'gone' once it's sold, so any favourites/treasury stuff are gone too. Other items stay in treasuries/faves once they're relisted. I *think* that's right.

The more often an item is looked at, the more often that item is looked at. So repeats do seem to get found more easily than OOAK. It sort of drives me crazy because my whole shop is OOAK.

I'm with you, Raven! My whole shop has always been OOAK items and I think that is why sales seem to be slow. I get larger orders here but I can see other shops selling tons while I watch. Anyone else work at selling OOAK items and work through this "problem"?

I am with everyone... just rethinking OOAK as I have been reading articles about selling it. For the love that I have for them, I think it slow your sales...
I am still all with OOAK items but I am planning to make more of them to experience if that will make any big difference...

Do you mind sharing what articles you read about selling OOAK? Thanks!

I think selling on Etsy is kinda like a game. :)
