All my traffic sources are working with percentages, Etsy apps, direct traffic, ads and even SEO. But there is ZERO % happening in Etsy search visits. Can anyone explain? Did Etsy change algorithim again? Slow sales too....even with high SEO percent.
@ShaPeaDesigns: Etsy is constantly tweaking and testing the search algorithm. Presuming that the stats are accurate, 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 high in search. Etsy is proud of the fact that they provide search results which they think you will actually purchase regardless of what you actually searched for. If no one is clicking on your listings found in search, the percentage will be zero.
Unfortunately you need to drive your own traffic and sales so that the algorithm learns that people want what you are selling.
