Traffic

[InkSplashDesign1]

Has anyone noticed that he last three days traffic on Etsy has been significantly reduced. My Seo is on point but last three days my traffic went from 250-300 visits down to 14-15. 

I have sales and coupons, I have high quality listings, Seo is on point, but what’s going on?

On this listing the title says one thing and the shirt has a different saying on it - https://www.etsy.com/listing/4316281384/teacher-appreciation-t-shirt-teachers?ref=shop_home_active_2...

[InkSplashDesign1]

This listing is correct it says teachers is heart works. Which matches listings. It’s teacher appreciation gift I use Alura and my Seo is on point it’s A+

@InkSplashDesign1 

I think there may have been a bit of misunderstanding around what @NanaLetha was trying to point out. Your listing title says “Teacher Appreciation T-shirt, ‘Teachers is Heart Work,’” but the image on the shirt actually reads “Teaching is Heart Work.”

The difference between "teachers" and "teaching" might seem small, but it could be confusing for potential buyers—especially when the text in the listing and the image don’t match. It also looks like this inconsistency appears in the product description as well.

This kind of mismatch could easily lead to a return if the buyer isn’t sure which version they’re going to receive. It might be helpful to double-check the wording throughout the listing and update it for clarity.

BTW, be cautious of using that Smiley face! >similar/not identical still equates to IP infringement!

I own the copyright for everything on my store

As a word of caution, @MrsDsHandKnits is correct about IP infringement.

The Smiley Company owns trademark rights in many countries (including the U.S.) to a specific smiley face design — typically a yellow circle with two black oval eyes and a curved mouth, dating back to 1972.

If your design is similar enough in expression, proportion, or style, even in a different color (like your blue/purple gradient), it could be considered confusingly similar, especially if used on apparel or accessories, which are covered by their trademark.

This may also be due to technical adjustments to the website. It is recommended that you promote your products outside the site.

I am, my biz Pinterest account is currently g monetized because I have over 335,000

Looks like you are very new. New shops get a short boost in search. Yours is probably over. 

Too early to panic or expect any patterns

[InkSplashDesign1]

I actually get most of traffic from google. 

[NanaLetha]

@InkSplashDesign1  That’s not what the shirt says. Check again 

[InkSplashDesign1]

Please don’t even start. The shirt says teachers work is heart works. It’s teacher appreciation gift, keyword is appreciation gift. 

[InkSplashDesign1]

If you zoom it , it says exactly what I said. There is nothing wrong with listings before saying something is wrong make sure that you’re not adding to the experience. The shirt is appreciation gift. The exact wording is teaching is “heart works” I did the listing not someone else, not to mention I created the mock up ect. 

[NanaLetha]

It says Teaching is heart work!

[InkSplashDesign1]

Which is what I have been saying the entire time! 

[TreeTreasuresCanada]

You posted under Technical Issues.  I suggest that it may be beneficial for you to  request a Shop Critique. 

[InkSplashDesign1]

Nope won’t be doing that because I don’t need ship critique. My Seo is 100% 

[TreeTreasuresCanada · Accepted solution]

The problem I saw wasn't SEO related but I apologize for annoying you with my suggestion.

The shirt in the image says "Teaching is Heart Work"

The title says "Teachers are Heart Work"

The Best Mom has a dropdown with a lot of colour choices but no colour chart image to refer to.

Personalized means that the buyer can add their name on it or some other 'personalized feature. Not just a dropdown with colour choices. That's just regular.

People bounce when the item isn't really what they were looking for as it was advertised for search, or is confusing like the Teacher t, or is missing important information to make a purchasing decision. A lot of bouncing = lower conversion rates = drop in search.

[InkSplashDesign1]

I’ve already changed the small spelling error. These items are not just random items they are all based on product reschedule, low competition, high demand. 

[InkSplashDesign1]

To be  fair there is nicer way of pointing out the mistake. 

like someone says nope your wrong again and again especially when it’s not related to topic, as the poster I found it quite rude. 

[InkSplashDesign1]

@TreeTreasuresCanada  you did not annoy me sorry if it felt that way but you did nothing wrong. However if people point out small error there is more polite way of doing it but you did nothing wrong.

[InkSplashDesign1]

Might I just ad that this is first time posting and already feel attacked because of minor things. Maybe instead of bullying someone over small error you provide assistance and not just jump down someone throat over small error. This thread is gonna be deleted because instead of helping you just made it worse 

[LastCentury]

no one here is bullying you. BUT people will be less inclined to help if you continue to berate helpful advice beneficial to you.

The title for that Teacher T still says:
 "Teacher Appreciation T-shirt, “Teachers is Heart Work” Design, Perfect Gift for Educators, Teacher Appreciation Gift"

Teacher & Teachers work the same way for seo, so that pluralized word repetition is not beneficial. Teachers & Teaching is a different SEO scenario, so I would think it would be to your benefit to change that title. and it would be less confusing for buyers seeing that mixed message.
