I would like to know if the current site issues are going to be fixed and if so when?
I am talking about the apparent huge problem with non existent views, resulting in a huge drop in sales for many sellers.
Is this being worked on, on etsy's end or is this a combination of problems, that may not all be related to etsy?? Has anyone figured out what exactly has happened? I have scoured various forum threads the past 2 weeks and there are a lot of various speculations as to the problem or problems.
What I really want to know is are we going to see a return in the traffic and views again, or do we need to start making other plans?
Btw, I do advertise off site and have for many months, as well as doing other type of networking. But there is now a huge problem with google dropping etsy listings and there are issues with the latest etsy header changes as well and who knows what else.
What can we expect to see in the coming days?, please answer if you are working on these things.
thank you

I would also like to know because I am tired of trying to figure it out on my own.

It's difficult to weed through all of the forum posts, so I would really appreciate having more of a clear and concise picture (if there is such a thing) of what the problems are and if they will be fixed?

It would be so wonderful if Admin saw this and would chime in.
I have been a loyal seller here for 2 years now and have rode the roller coaster more then once, but this time of year my stuff should be selling well and it's quite disturbing what has happened, I realize there are a tone of new jewelry sellers which doesn't help matters, but I believe the latest issues with low view/sales is something else.

I'm not sure what is going on, it may be the website or it might just be slow. In any case I hope something changes. In the mean time I will probably step up my advertising and continue to use other venues as well. Good luck to everyone!

It was pointed out last night that Google is making around 550 adjustments to their searches this year. I am wondering if what they are doing is affecting us.

I've been getting good views lately so I can't really complain. I'm always tweaking, trying to list, updating shop announcement etc.
