How is this possible? Tags...

I discovered something very interesting in my shop.
My 156 ads include the "lace" tags, but when I type it into my store's search engine, only 52 products show up.
This is not good because then most of my products are not visible to customers because the search engine engine does not show them?
Unfortunately I have experienced before that my most important labels do not work...

One of the reasons and I have seen on other websites, to rotate sellers they take tags out and then you don't show up

This is fantastic....once I noticed that the "string thong" tag,which is in all my listings,was not working as well..of course it's not for sale...

Do those listing which are not showing also contain the word 'sexy' in the tags? 

Do those missing listings show up if you search for 'sexy lace'?

[Liamore]

I deleted all the sexy words from the lists.

@Liamore when? Previously (like weeks ago or more) or just now?

[Amaradorn]

@Liamore  I think it might be the word 'panties' which is causing your listings to be 'shadow banned'.

[Amaradorn]

@Liamore try removing that word (panties) from a few listings and then do a test again tomorrow and see if it made a difference.

I think totally random..

@Liamore 

Unfortunately it's probably just because of what you are selling. Anything adult or mature is pretty much hidden in search now unless the shopper searches for a specific combination of words. It's been going on for a while now but I did notice it got much worse mid summer. 

[Liamore]

Maybe..:(

I sell a lot of adult humor stuff and it's totally impacted my shop. Have you noticed a difference in your stats compared to previous years? Like etsy search stats specifically? 

[Liamore]

I don't know what I can and can't do anymore..support is not helping..

[WitticismsRus]

I don't think there is anything you can do if it's due to the mature filters. Support can't help you other than maybe confirm it's due to the mature/adult filters.

Yes, I give up, I do what I think is best, and what will be will be..
