Buying Key Words ..Ad Stats ?????

So does anyone know much about the new AD STATS at the bottom of your SHOP STATS page ?

I watched the videos on it ..and now Etsy has the option for you to buy key words for certain listing for a week , month at a time and it boosts your item to the top of the pages ?

Just curious if anyone has tried it ....and if it really showed any pay off ? O

Of course I hate spending more money to sell things than I have to ..and it also seems like it's creating a reall dog eat dog competition for sellers to buy themselves to the top of pages ..unless I'm looking at the whole thing wrong ?

any feedback anyone has would be awesome !

Thanks ahead of time ..Sara

Thanks Abby ... No I haven't looked into it anymore. I read about it and watched the videos and get the concept of it ..just wondered if anyone had tried it basicly.

Re: Buying Key Words ..Ad Stats ?????

We're trying it. Can't say yet how it's going, because our ads only started this morning - and I'm giving us a minute budget of $1 for testing it. ;) Thus far, we've spent nine cents for 108 impressions and 0 views. Neither good, nor bad, IMHO.

I'm really not certain about the keywords...I read in Site Help that some of the keywords cost more than others, but I have no clue as to which ones that might be! (The posters didn't elaborate, and I didn't scan their shops for clues, either.)

Here's our keyword-to-impression break down:
rug 44
rag rug 19
shirt 15
tee shirt 6
camo 4
burgundy 4
navy 3
upcycled 3
rainbow 2
autumn 1
home decor 1
orange 1

I just edited our ads to nix the color keywords - I'm quite certain a shopper won't click on our rugs when they are running, say, an "orange" search because orange is simply not a dominate color in any of our rag rugs. And from what I can tell, from searches of my own, search ads are NOT pulling with relevancy. For example, I did a search for "blue rug" but what items popped up in the Search Ads were NOT blue. They were white, black, and everything else BUT blue. Go figure.

Hope this helps a little. ;)

Re: Buying Key Words ..Ad Stats ?????

Thanks so much for sharing .. Let us know how your first week turns out.

Now did you search any of the key words you purchased to see if indeed your items were being put a the top of the listings .. As that is what it seems to indicate should happen or at least that is how I interpreted it ?
