Low Etsy search views again, the new normal?

Here at nearly 7:30 I have only 153 views from Etsy search.  The drop continues. Only a couple days of normal or average views from etsy search in the past 2 weeks.

Wonder if it had to do with my speaking out on the forums???

This is appearing to be the new normal.  Not sure if they will come back to where they were for christmas.  Normal would actually be for me to have more views than I had just about all of this year.  Normal in nov & dec would be most days in the 300's and 400's and even exceed what I had last year when I had days in the 440's in december.

I am concerned about my shop; new listing page format on Etsy

My shop has been hurt by the new listing page.  Views have dropped significantly.  Total views and Etsy search views.  Google views are low. I am really only selling tea cups.  And I do not think I can replace all my great things I sold in the past 12 months.

I think my shop has peaked.  I think I've done the best I can do.  I had a great 12 months. I am not sure I will even do as well as I did last oct-dec. I don't have the nice, unique small items I had.  And not the beautiful items and not the nice jewelry not the great deals for me, valuable items either.

Just gotta see how it goes.  Take it one day at a time. List as much as I can. Won't be able to get my furniture listed.

8pm and low views from search

Here at 8 pm I have only 183 views from Etsy search.  I think something has changed on the site.  It happened so suddenly that it can't just be normal traffic.  It can't be a normal ebb or flow.

This might be the new normal???

I did make 4 sales and 1 more on the way for today.

Views at noon

Today only 79 views from Etsy search at noon. Made a tea cup sale. Another one to Thailand.  Got 2 orders shipped.  Still have to find the one green tea cup & the pair of carnelia glass earrings.

It is hot and humid.  Have to get some things done inside and out before the rain.

Low views again

I finished yesterday with 263 views from Etsy search.  Which was decent, but then I wake up to only 35 views from Etsy search here after 7:35 am.  Not good.

I did make 3 sales yesterday though.  Although one of them was another tea cup to my customer in Thailand.

wow, no sales

No sales in 4 of the past 7 days.

200 views!

I just reached 200 views from Etsy search here at 6:33 pm.  Glad to do that.  Glad to reach it before 7 pm. 782 total views, too. Not sure what the near term holds.  Views could go back down or stay low for a while.

No sales though.  No sales in 3 of the past 7 days.  Not good.

Sunset in the Mexican War Streets of Pittsburgh, PA

A few weeks ago I was walking back from the store and when I was walking up my street I saw a great sunset.  There was a thick area of clouds in front of the sun and the rays were shooting out all sides of the clouds. By the time I got into my house and got back with my camera the clouds had broken up some.  It wasn't as nice, but I still got some decent pics of the sunset:






I haven't gotten anything done today. Not even laundry. I might go try to get something to eat.  I should have taken some pics or organized some. But I didn't. Probably won't.

Tomorrow, I don't know what I will do.  Have to go to the grounds keeping job.  Then to the thrift store?

100 views by 12 noon

This is the first time I've reach 100 views this early in the past 5 days or so.  Not as early as it was during the summer though.

Views

I ended yesterday with only 221 views from Etsy search. But 84 from Google.  Which isn't bad.

Today is starting off better.  59 views from Etsy search at about 7 am.

7 pm views

So I have only 152 views from Etsy search (that number again).  But it is not good. Something has changed.

So I have a great year, a great summer, then right before the holiday shopping season things mess up. It is making me mad and discouraged.  I didn't even work on my shop today.
