Sudden Drastic Drop in Views & Sales??

[GlitterDisaster]

Hello - My shop views and sales have suddenly almost stopped. I generally average 4-5 sales per week and at the beginning of this month 3 sales per day. All the action has suddenly stopped, and I am only getting about 20 views per day. I am wondering if anyone has ever had something similar happen, as it seems odd for this time of year. My shop is pretty well optimized I believe as I used to rank high in searches... Any advice is appreciated: )

Think we are all feeling it, hopefully its just a phase.

Yep, yesterday and today have had no sales, compared to 3 or 4 per day for the previous month. Maybe buyers have gotten most of their shopping done?

[WebAndRock]

Same here.

Here also fewer views.

[GabriellasTreasures]

Yes on both - but it's typical for my shop - Vintage does not sell well at holidays compared to handmade for gift giving, at least in my experience.

So it's not just me... thanks for your feeback. Let's hope it picks up for us!

Same for me, I've been non stop for two months, now it has all come to a halt

My vieles are very low today but i cannot complain about sales

my views and sales have dropped by an order of magnitude in the month of December- from 1000's a day to 100 a day. Sales are much lower this month compared to last year as well.

I think people shop later when Thanksgiving is later, so hopefully this weekend will be a good thing ?!?

op, your listings arent very well optimized, and you use some one word tags.
You dont have many exact matching phrases in titles and tags,your short titles can use 4 or 5 more searchable phrases which can then be used in tags.

your pictures are great, prices are a bargain.

you have 9 sales for december
13 for november
8 for october
11 for september

seems pretty consistent.

Same here Sarah. I feel like I could have written your post verbatim! :-(

Now I know its not just my shop!

I think ... no, make that I'm pretty sure ... it's ALL about SEO + relevancy.
