z rank demotion

I guess I must have done something wrong. Went from a 7 zrank to 5 zrank. At times, I was an 8. They don't want you to unhide too many products, I guess. I haven't been a 5 in a few years. Took me by surprise.

zRank changes all the time. and I wouldn't worry too much about it. It typically fluctuates when your ratio of products vs. sales changes. It can also change if you haven't had sales with a referral in a long time. At least, that's been my personal experience.

My Z rank changes when I create too much of the same image with titles that aren't unique.   I like to do sets like all bathroom accessories being the same but have to keep titles original...I think the algorithm picks up on same title like "Autumn leaves towel set"  and "Autumn leaves shower curtain" those titles always are bad for me and will decrease my zrank

Sorry this happened to you!

I don't know how much the z Rank impacts stores but I still wish you the best, in the hopes that yours will increase ๐Ÿ™‚

No sales here since the 9th and now today I get the extra kick in the teeth of zrank dropping from 6 to 5 so I understand your frustration.

Same thing here! ๐Ÿซค I have to buy my own products every once in a while. This is not fun! No views and a sale every once in a blue moon.

Sorry to hear this is happening...to me, too! Zazzle is not playing nice for me right now. My Zrank dropped 1 point this week.

@SharonCullars  What did you mean by this "They don't want you to unhide too many products"?

I have been selling really rather well and my Z rank went to an 8 for a very short period of time then dropped to a 6
