Craftopolis

I've got to admit with the new treasury east and the easy way of finding out if you are featured in a treasury, I've not been looking at craftopolis recently.

However I stumbled across an unrelated forum post that mentioned tagging and found that craftopolis' tag report allows you to see how people are finding you through Etsy search.

You just need to sign into your Google Analytics and you get the choice of finding out over the past 60, 30 or 7 days, yesterday or today.

It will give you the search type (usually handmade for me), search terms eg champagne, crystal, earrings and page found on, which I suppose lets you know what search page your item was on.

I suppose it's quite good if your items are in the top 10 pages of the search, especially for a jeweller like me with 1000's of us on Etsy, not so good if it's on page 93, like one of my bracelets! I just can't imagine anyone ploughing through 93 pages of bridal bracelets to stumble across mine :)

Craftweasel

I found out about craftweasel when browsing the Etsy forums and thought it was worth sharing.

One part of the site offers a 'shop stats tool', where you simply enter your Etsy shop name and it supplies you with loads of valuable data, such as a graph of your tags with most views/day (pale pink), a graph of your tags with the highest price (necklace) and a graph of your most-used tags (bangle)

The other part of the site is the 'tag finder tool' which -
"helps you choose the best set of tags for your Esty items. Tag finder will generate graphs showing the price and views per day of items with your query, as well as on related tags. This lets you see which tags will be likely to bring the highest number of views to your Etsy items."

It lets you see a distribution of prices, graph of related tags with most views/day and related tags.

I put in Pearl Cluster Bracelet and had a chuckle to find that AMIDesigns is rated one of the related tags to use :)
