Z Rank Drop

[Zob1]

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....

[Zob1]

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

[Sea-Change]

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.

[MOM]

Ditto. 😕

[KeegansCreation]

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

[Jadendreamer13]

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

[TRW]

every one of my stores dropped at least 1 zrank as of yesterday morning
the default royalty I keep trying to change in various ways has not been updated yet
and this morning the sort feature for products in shop backend is not functioning at all, it just reshuffles the top line of newest products 

[Marcia]

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

[ievaj]

Mine dropped as well. Yesterday was 6 today 5 ...

[Ashley]

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.

Never seems to be a rhyme nor reason to the mystery of Zranking

[Adri]

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. 

[MOM]

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

[idraw]

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

[VivianD117]

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

[Marcia]

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.

[KThomas]

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.

[Harmony]

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

[Wollastonite]

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

[tamirazdesigns]

Same

[annpowellart]

Yes, mine dropped by 1 point, and no sales for the las 2 days. 

[stine1]

Arrgh, mine dropped from 6 to 5:

[MadjackGG]

My main store hit 8 early last year. Now it's down to 6.

My neighbors have been asking what the sucking sound is they can hear coming from my house. I tell them not to worry, it's just this month's sales on Zazzle.

[Anne]

Yep, rank down, views and sales in the ditch as well. Rank 5? Wouldn't that be for a store that is not complete? Sigh.

[PLdesign]

Ours dropped to 5 also. 😮

[mylittleeden]

Sadly all my stores gone down too...

[Fantabuloustef]

My main store Fantabuloustef had jumped from 5 to 7 in December, and is now down to 6. The other one BizEssentials remained steady at 4 … I don’t understand the decrease, but didn’t understand the increase as well…  😊

Admin,

When is this glitch going to be fixed?  Thanks.
