I have not checked my Google Analytics stats, but with all my views from all the traffic sources being HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR, but with me only getting about 1,000-1,300 total views, then people are still NOT browsing my shop and clicking out!

Because of Etsy adding OTHER SHOPS LISTINGS to my listings on Mobile Devices!!

But no sales form all of them.

Time for bed.

251 Etsy App views just past 2:30am!

So what is going on??

Renewing and listing new greatly affect Etsy App views??

I know the Support person did tell me that "recency" plays a part in App views.

Here at 12:33am I have 251 views from Etsy App!

When I had only 163 ALL of YESTERDAY!

40 Views at 2:16am!!

And now here only 15 minutes later I have an additional 40 Etsy App views!?

Here at 2:15 I have 183 Etsy App views???

32 Views right after 2am!

And I just checked again and I have 32 views from Etsy search here at 2:04am!

Only 192 Etsy App views.

49 Google views.

Back to bed.

8 Days in the Past 19 Days with Zero Sales; Only 3 in 2014

So from may 14 to june 2nd I have had 8 days with ZERO orders.

So 8 days of the past 19 have been ZERO order days.

But for the same time period of 2014 I had only 3.

Not to mention that revenue is about 1/3rd less.

And orders are 15 FEWER.

Ouch.

I have decisions to make.

Only 130 Etsy App views right before 7pm

What has Etsy done to my shop???

I know it is the slower time of the year, but to go from 600+ Etsy App views one day just 2 weeks ago, and now have only 130 is not right.

Etsy has done SOMETHING to affect my App views!

Only 217 Views Yesterday; No Sales in 3 Days.

I finished the monday with only 217 views from Etsy search, but an ok amount of total views at 1,295.

Only 268 Etsy APp views.

21 FEWER Orders for Last Month, May 2015, compared to May 2014!

I had 68 orders last may, 2014, and only 47 orders this may!  Not good.

I got 251 views from Etsy search yesterday with 1,690 total views.

I also got 69 views from Google yesterday.  Good to see that.

But ONLY 219 Etsy APp Views! Wow. I wonder what the heck happened. I don't want to know though.

Oh well.

Back to bed.
