I love your screen name

This is the best video on SEO on Etsy I have ever seen! Your insight is so valuable. I drive a lot of my own traffic as my category is saturated with garbage sellers right now. When I search for something like fairy junk journal printable, the worst listings come up but this is a new path to explore where Etsy is not showing the crappy listings. Thank you so much!

I knew that was you! (Well I didn't for sure but the theme park name gave it away.)

Great videos! Thank you. I have a question that maybe is answered in another video. If it is, can you please direct me to it? I am wondering now that I have been watching your videos...I am curious if Etsy is only making the quality score/ranking determinations based on the initial listing/pics, or will the score go up if I edit my listing with better pics? Is it a one-shot deal? Would I be better off improving my rankings by making a new listing all together?

They don’t tell us how they create the quality score, but it’s probably based on sales, favorites, etc, not on photo quality. A compete isn’t looking at your photos judging how good they are, but if a lot of people favorite or buy the item then it’s a good assumption to think that photos are also good.

Thank you for all the explanations! How do I get my items to show up in Gift Mode? And also, how would I become a part of those big events shown on that banner?

To be part of the sales all you have to do is have a sale going, then the sale filters will pick it up. Gift mode is a separate from regular Etsy searchm and there's no way to get into that on our own, as far as I know I haven't taken a lot of time to look at it, though. Maybe I'll look into it to see if there's something you can do to increase the chance of being included.

What I found out that matters most to the algorithm: Raw number of sales in recent time.

It's always been that way.

19:57 since “cactus” isn’t in the title, description or tags, maybe Etsy uses AI to recognise a cactus in an image? 🤔 21:49 yes, photo recognition 😊

They do use photo recognition for some things, but they haven't clarified what those things are. I guess I could say yes for sure they're looking at the pictures in that one situation, but that would be me stating a guess as a fact. In the case of that listing it's more likely that they're associating cactus with the themes of cowboy and western.

Do you think Etsy will show us data comparing conversion rates: gift mode vs typing search words into etsy search bar? If so, when?

@@jillaz1003 That's my feeling about it, too, it feels very gimmicky, and it doesn't feel like it gives you enough selection.

I'm a vintage seller and am wondering how Etsy determines what is a "best seller" for me since I don't have duplicates. Do they determine which category or type of item is selling best in the Vintage category?

I have the same problem in my 'hobby' shop, where I sell my one off crochet baby clothes etc. There are no second or more items. They don't stand a chance in the alogrithm, hence it's my hobby shop (because I can't stop making them, alongside EPP baby quilts). I concentrate my energy on my crochet pattern shop, and this is exactly the reason I pivoted 360 to concentrate on patterns and not actual things.

They haven't told anyone how they determine the bestseller badge, so anything I say would be a guess. It seems to be something in relation to the sales in your own shop, but we don't know for sure. For vintage, I would start reusing listings for similar items, or concentrate on one type of item and list a bunch of variations in that listing so that you can rotate items in and out and reuse the listing.

I’m a vintage seller and have had bestseller badges. I had four pairs of bookends. When I had sold two pairs in two orders it was suddenly a bestseller. I’m not sure it’s a good thing in general for vintage sellers as I think our customers want unique items and not what everyone else wants. I use the method of listing similar things in the same listing with variations. For example pepper grinders. If one sells I’m almost always getting another sale from that listing within days. Try it if you haven’t already. It has also made me focus. So when I find grinders in great vintage quality I buy them. I use that same listing to fill more grinders in, with additional photos and descriptions of the new ones of course. And the cycle goes on.

I heard it doesn’t really matter if you are logged in or incognito mode, even when you use program to set you in different regions, Etsy will still give you your customized search views

When you're not logged in the first thing that you see is "neutral." After you start clicking around, they'll show you things based on the most recent activity on those clicks.

It changes dramatically! When I am logged in ALL my listings appear on the first page, like Etsy trying to get me to believe they love me that much! Then I go on Incognito mode and maaaybe there is one of my listings on the first page 🙄

Every other KZreadr says keyword stuff or don't keyword stuff. Example 1: You Matter Mental Health Awareness Coworker Gift For Friend Sublimation Design PNG Example 2: You Matter PNG Mental Health Awareness PNG Gift For Coworker PNG Gift For Friend PNG Sublimation Design Png Which is the best way to rank? Example 1 or 2?

The honest truth is that as far as the search engine goes both would work since it would find all of the words to match to searches. But as far as the customer goes, the first one is better because it says what the thing is and isn’t messy to read. Same with the tags, both work, but repeating things is taking up space that you could be using for different and new keywords that you don’t have in the listing. And the best way to rank is to sell things, that’s the bottom line with Etsy. Ranking isn’t based on only keywords.
