As Etsy is encouraging us not to favourite one another's items I have closed this topic and recommend posting links to your social media sites as I suspect tagging from outside Etsy will not count - I will set up a new topic.
Below is from Etsy:-
+++ Is Etsy trying to remove view or favorite inflation from “click team” or organized favoriting activities?
It appears that some sellers have organized with teams or member groups to systematically view and favorite one another’s items to influence search placement. We’re actively working on ways to better discern between these different types of favoriting activities and when an item is trending or gaining bona fide interest from buyers. We’d like the search algorithm to rely on signals that mirror common shopper behavior. While clicking and favoriting activities do not currently have a negative impact on an item’s search placement, we are monitoring this behavior to ensure that it does not improve an item's placement in search.
Like all work on the search algorithm, this will always be a work in progress.
+++ Should I stop participating in clicking and favoriting games?
Clicking and favoriting activities with the intention of increasing search ranking is not something we encourage. To help improve your search placement, we recommend spending your time on improving your listing quality by working on your tag and title relevance. You can also encourage clicks, favorites, and purchases from search results by making your product photographs really interesting and “clickable” which will in turn help your placement. These are the most reliable methods for improving your placement within Etsy’s search results.
