Help With Over All Performance

[CrazySpyder]

Help Please   About a week ago I changed a setting I think or something because right after that all of my performance (visitors) totally dropped. I think the setting said something about "do you want more sales or do you want more traffic" or something.  I went from hundreds to almost nothing overnight in visitors.  Please Help I am not sure what I did wrong.

What setting did you change?

The first thing I did was update my Esty Adds to a bit higher. Then I am not sure where it was there was a question: Do you want more sales? Do you want more traffic? Do you want to do better with social media (something to that affect) Not sure of all the correct words, but I remember changing my answer. Do you think any of this changed why all of a sudden, my traffic is almost Zero?

@CrazySpyder: The two may be unrelated - with all of the testing and changes Etsy is constantly making it is very hard to make definitive cause and effect correlations. You seem to be a newer shop and Etsy appears to give new shops a boost in search for a limited time so that the algorithm has data to see how your listings do. Perhaps the honeymoon period is over. Regardless, Etsy is not a set it and forget it platform and you need to drive a lot of your own traffic, particularly in an overcrowded category such as print on demand.

Thank you  My shop has been getting a lot of views for a few months then a few days ago everything came to a halt. Very Weird!

Did you ever find anything out? For months and months, I've been making about $300-$400/day and overnight my views went from hundreds to maybe 20 or so. I'm stumped. Each weekend I was clearing $1K and this weekend I made $78. Today is no different. If you have any information to share, I'd love your feedback. Good luck to you!
