I'm a newer seller so I'm not sure if this is normal because of Labor Day weekend, but for some reason, my ad views have suddenly dropped in the last couple of days. I was getting 6k+ views a day and now I'm getting ~ 900-1200 a day.
@SimplicitDesignCo: Your listings may have been given the new shop boost so Etsy could determine how the listings are reacted to by potential buyers and that has ended. If you were getting 6,000 views and it generated only 28 sales the numbers do not look good to the algorithm. Keep in my mind that your listing must first qualify to be shown based on the search query. If it makes that cutoff then Etsy auctions off the ad slots to those listings they feel will generate the most revenue. If everyone on this forum searched for the exact same phrase they would all get different results. Because of "personalized searches" you can NOT rely on anyone's search results to define how your listing is ranked. There are many many factors that affect listing placement and the relative weight of each factor probably changes constantly. Even exact word matches to your title no longer ensure that you will appear on page 1. Your listing may be appearing on page 251 and Etsy is only showing the first 250 pages to the world.
