You have to keep in mind that bonanza is not as big as ebay. It takes more time to get sales on bonanza than it does on ebay

I have only 2 items in my store and in the past 5 days have over 500 views between the 2 items thanks to Twitter and Facebook. Once I get more items in my store might sign up for Instagram. I hear that is a good advertising platform.

1) Three days is barely enough time to get items indexed and a good google standing

2) Your items are in Google Product Search..but then so are the exact same items in etsy and my assumption is the etsy store is older, therefore will out rank a 3 day old bonanza store in rankings every time

3) Eventually you will have to follow google rules about Titles, punctuation, description (meaning NO ALL CAPS WITH BOILER PLATE *FREE SHIPPING):
[URL removed]

4) People go to ebay, people go to amazon and even go to etsy to look for items. Buyers come to your bonanza through google searches…if they have already found what they are looking for at your etsy store, then they will probably not click on the same listing somewhere else.

5) and 36 items is a good start

Welcome to Bonanza and good luck

Hmm I had several sales here the first month I was here, but now my shop has about died. The weird thing is, I veiwed it from the library, not signing in as me, and later from home as me it still showed that I had no views for that day.

Hi, welcome to Bonanza. There may be some reasons but let me tell you of a few.
You just opened your booth, so it will take some time for your items to get through the Google system.
It may also depend on what advertising plan you have.
Are you promoting your booth? Are you tweeting, pinning, facebooking, blogging etc….Bonanza does not advertising like Ebay.
You only have 36 items in your booth at the moment. Adding more and promoting will help.

These are just some of the reasons you may not be getting the views you want. Persevere! And promote!

The bonz is not your payment processor. If they paid with paypal it is a paypal hold. My guess is that you have not registered as a business in paypal

Every time we come back here it takes time to bring the views up. If find that if relying solely on Google organic it takes about 5 days for your items to start showing up

When listing your items and making titles for them make sure the most important keywords come first followed by least important. For instance, you have “FREE SHIPPING” at the beginning of your item titles. Buyers are less likely to care about what shipping is compared to the actual product, so present the product first then the free shipping at end of title. This sort of thing makes all the difference in search engines.

Google does not even allow free shipping in the title- you need to start by reading and familiarizing yourself with the correct Google standards.
