I was on Facebook and ran across three of my of my listings posted by Etsy. I was stoked and sometimes I run across my listings over on Etsy.

It's good to know they're showing them in different places!

Only notice that if you are opted in to "off site advertising" (you probably are if you're showing up) they take a whopping 15% of your sale if their traffic buys your item, in addition to etsy fees. God only knows how long that cookie lingers too. I opted out, that is way too much.

How did u rank on Etsy?

This makes me realize that all Etsy tells us in its manuals is a stopgap. They just have to write something because it's the right thing to do. And they can always send sellers back to this laconic nonsense. Keywords are needed only so that the robot knows what the listing is about. So that it doesn't show me baby blankets when I'm looking for a biker jacket. And even here it doesn't work perfectly - you typed "cute puppy...clipart" and it showed a t-shirt with a cat 🥴 In my opinion, keywords are not for positioning in the search engine. That's what sales are for. If you have several matching keywords it will show you somewhere in the results, if you have sales it will show you at the beginning. Sometimes I follow my competition, once or twice I did a test. On a "fresh" browser, from someone who has not even heard of Etsy, I entered one of my keywords. Most stores appeared 1-3 times on the front page, but one appeared there 14 times. And this one has poor one-word tags, but actually sells a lot. Well, how can it not sell? It's a perpetuum mobile.

That's exactly right, keywords are the first part of the process but other things like sales are what matter when it comes to actually showing up on the first page.

True on the thrown in random. Camelhair kippah/kippot gets pillows, toys, vintage coats and cotton kippot. Usually not a full page. Cashmere is worse. There is no cashmere scent or color, people!!

Well there is a color and fragrance that are called that. But the fragrance clearly isn’t the real thing.

Hmm.. I just tried searching my listings and my older listings that should have been indexed aren’t even showing up! I tried different browsers and incognito mode and sometimes I’ll get around 200 results in total and 600 results in total for the exact search phrase

@@KaraBuntin erggg thanks for your reply! this is making me not want to list on Etsy, the point of being there is to take advantage of their existing traffic/search but if I’m not showing up, what’s the point of listing at all.. I’m not even on the very last page 🫠

I have discontinued some of my wood frames. I just find no interest in them. My shop is so slow that I have time to update listings and add some. My biggest sales come at Christmas.

Hi, what do you think about how often to list? I heard that 1 list per day is optimal, but many also say otherwise.
@KaraBuntin Жыл бұрын
List things when you have them ready, there's no magic formula.
