Hi everyone,
I’m currently seeing an extreme spike in views on my Zazzle store (hundreds of users in a very short time), but no increase in sales or real engagement.
This actually happened once before about a month ago, but not nearly as extreme as this time.
Has anyone experienced something similar today ? What could be causing this; bot/crawler traffic, indexing, or something else?
I’d really appreciate any insights!
@Nisuris probably bots
If the views are hot
but the sales are not
you can rest assured
it’s lots of bots
I have a lot of views but no sales. I have a t-shirt Peace for Ukraine that I bought myself and designed myself and always wear it, imagine that t-shirt has something like 99 views and never been sold. I personally have no idea what’s behind the views spike. On the opposite side I have products a few not many, a beautiful mug that had only 1 view. I will be interested in reading the replies to what’s the strange cause of many views.
@Nisuris yes. since the 16th of March, my daily linkovers have spiked into the four-digit range.
on my Benable account, I also see the return of visitors from China and Singapore (after they were quiet for some time). so not a coincidence.
no corresponding spike in sales.
so probably bots.
From my personal experience, sales are down when I have a spike in visitors. It might be a coincidence, but I have noticed that.
@tsikona and @Nisuris Where do you see these views with the countries? I’d like to see them but don’t know where they are.
In google analytics.
Yep, the Singapore bots have returned to my store as well. 😡
