I recently turned off Etsy ads, but still saw traffic coming in, and have traffic from social media, SEO, and direct sources. My shop isn't a massive traffic draw to begin with, but to have 1 view all day long is very out of the ordinary and frankly unbelievable. Could this have to do with the recent "update required" for shipping issue?
How would a buyer know about that?
You are yet another POD seller, so getting really low views isn’t a surprise considering the competition. Are all the designs yours? I think anime is licensed so could be an infringement.
@Former_Member Started to reply at length to you but changed my mind as you are clearly making a lot of untrue assumptions. Sorry you are so upset- you’re not the only one looking for sales, POD or not.
I don't believe there is any 'ordinary' on this site. With all their testing Etsy is in a constant state of flux, their inconsistency is the only constant around here. Shops that made a comfortable living last year are not making minimum wage this year (and vice versa). I personally wouldn't notice what my views are and when I have 'unbelievable' days because I don't look at them, the only thing I look at are sales. Even then, there's no 'normal'. I sometimes get 6 sales in an hour, I sometimes get 1 sale a week. Being a new shop my recommendation is to take this time figuring out what you can learn about the site, not theorizing what could be happening, you'll get dizzy trying to keep up.
