No views at all, shop critique needed

Hi, guys!

I tried lately to reanimate my shop, made total new conception and items. But i remained in the same Jewellery Category. And it's already almost 1 month of struggle, but obviously my listings has yero views, or only some bots views. Because when im uploading the new listings i immediately got some views and this Scammer letters, when they ask to upload credit card information. I can't believe that Etsy can't beat such big crowd of scammer accounts. 

But maybe someoone could take a look on my photos, tags and titles and tell me what im doing wrong? At least some views already i should have, not only scammer attacks...

Maybe also my Shop get banned? Because since 1 year it was no activity in a shop

Not banned, and you are indexed, so those are two less things to worry about.

@tomahexe  do a search within your shop - if the listing comes up in results then your shop is indexed.

Re: No views at all, shop critique needed

Put a picture of your face in your profile picture. That along with your About statement are your two best tools to make customers trust you when you have no reviews.

Your titles are keyword stuffed, which will lower your ranking  in the search engines. The listing I looked at had Earrings in the title  5 times. Customers are also less likely to click on a title that just looks like a long list of keywords. Don't forget you are writing for shoppers, too.

Same in your tags. You used earrings in 9 out of 10 tags. The Etsy search engine pulls from two or more tags to match what was searched for, so that is just a waste of space you could have used for more keywords to be found on. Just put earrings in one tag, then put other words that could be paired with earrings in other tags. Tags don't even need to be keyword phrases as long as one can be made by combining it with something else in another tag. That way you could easily get four or five extra keywords in there. Also, you only used 10 of your available tags.

Use all 13 tags you are allowed and fill each tag as close to the maximum 20 characters allowed. Don't just guess, use a keyword research tool to help you find keywords that are actively searched for.

You can't rely just on Etsy for traffic. You need to bring some of it in on your own, too, whether that is working social media, promoting on your own website, or having a newsletter of your own, or paid advertising.

Jewelry, especially beadwork, is highly competitive. You need a lot more than 30 products to be found often. I'd try to get that up to at least 100. Active shops that are adding products regularly tend to get more traffic.

EDIT: Critique post removed by me . . . Sorry, this discussion thread is not in the shop critique section, so we cannot mention anything wrong in your shop.

Re: No views at all, shop critique needed

Like so many other sellers that have been affected when the forum was changed, the OP probably cannot access any other section besides Technical Issues and Announcements.

@tomahexe  Add your name to this list:

Finish your shop to show better in search results.

Add shop title with keywords. Add shop announcement (a little about your business, also with keywords).

Make at least one shop section.

Fill shop policies.

Add avatar and fill About page, add pictures of your creative process.

I would also suggest to make your Favorites private. Right now they show your current and/or potential suppliers. 

Work on your photos. Some of them have a really bright and busy background. Make it easier for shoppers and search engines to find and understand your products.

I see you ship to the US. Add measurements in inches. 

Hope it helps. Good luck!

Edited to add: You posted in the Technical Issues forum section. I hope it will be moved to the Shop Critiques.
