Has anyone else experienced a sudden steep drop off of viewers in the last few days ?

The number of views of my items has dropped off sharply during the last few days. From over 2000 views a day to less than 200. Anyone else noticing this. And almost no sales in the last few months. I use the highest level of advertising.

This is an official Bonanza response.

Good question terreceleste. Some categories on Google Shopping are more competitive than others with respect to buying advertising. Jewelry has consistently been one of the more competitive and expensive categories to bid on. So even with high advertising selected you may not see the traction as you would with a different category due to the costs associated with buying clicks.

Buying clicks ? In the past most of my sales came from people browsing Bonanza. Is this new ? I have searched Google shopping and see my items there for all to see. What has changed in the last few days ?

nothing…those spots in google are bought with your advertising..I would say that..most who would buy online for Christmas are done by now and sales as well views will go down…oh and the views reset during server updates…and views tend to “appear to drop” at those times

I agree that “most who would buy online are done by now,” eventhough I’m listing a few more Christmas things.
