Z Rank Drop

Zob1 — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 20:21:12 GMT

I've just noticed my zRank has simultaneously dropped by 1 across all three of my stores, anyone else seeing the same? It might be because my sales have dried up, but it would be useful to know if it's only me 🤔

@Zob1 You're not alone. Oh the joys of zazzling....

You're not alone. Mine dropped by a point across all stores, even though my sales picked up in the last few days. One more reason to be frustrated with this platform.

Mine dropped by 1 as well. I guess since it happened to multiple people simultaneously it must be a scheduled shake-up.

My Z rank dropped, too. Just one more reason to be frustrated with Zazzle.

Mine dropped by 1 as well. And it had been the same for the past 2 or 3 years.

My zrank dropped too. I was selling every day (bulk orders, multiple orders per day), even fulfilling a custom order, for which I never received the referral. Now, no sales for two days. I have hidden old products, and still nothing.

Oh dear. Commiserations everyone, let's hope it's a temporary glitch 😐🤞

My new store dropped to 4, a bummer, May be Zazzle is trying to shake of some designers. I guess I stop design for the new store, as it might be invisible at 4.

@Adri I wouldn’t stop tending that store because I sold something when my zRank was still at a three.

My shops dropped by 1 also. Oh Joy Zazzle. Not.

I went to look, and mine also . . . perhaps a zrank virus . . . for it to happen to so many people at once . . .

I wonder if it has to do with all the bot view hitting our stores. One of my worst bot days had 35 pages of views for the day (35x24 products). You know, views to sales ratio. Because I'm still selling.

One of my stores dropped by 3 points and another dropped by 1 point.. it's very dishertening, but on the other hand there's some comfort that it's happening to many people, incase it is some kind of glitch.. However on the other hand maybe they have implemented some new algorithym with zrank.

mine has dropped too. high fake views from spam bots vs low sales mostly likely. High views and no sales lowers ranking

Oof, one store went from a 7 to a 4. I didn't do anything!
