Hearts are wonderful and let's keep sharing them ❤️❤️❤️, but from what I understand by what I have been reading, the more VIEWS an item has, the better it does in the SEO. And the better it does in the SEO, the more likely it leads to sales according to Etsy stats. Likewise, when you post the SHORT view of the item link rather than the entire URL, it has more relevancy.
Here are the instructions for this thread.
--VIEW (you must leave the item open 15 seconds for it to count) 5 items in the shop above you; then HEART before closing screen.
--post SHORT view of each item (you can copy long view then delete everything after the number)
I will do the first one so you can see my post as an example.
