Love Letter: craftopolis.com

So this is a new series that I would like to introduce on my Blog. There are a couple sites that I use everyday and I think that every etsy seller should know about. Things that have made my life easier, or at least taken a little bit of mystery out of this thing called the internet. Today's Love Letter is to and here is why.

Craftoplis is a fantastic site that allows you to do a couple of things that other sites don't. It connects to your google analyitcs as well as etsy to grab tons of information. However, my favorite

Tag Reports -
What are tag reports you ask? They are records of what people searched for on Etsy that brought up your items. Fantastic, I know. You can look at tag reports for 60 days - 30 days - 7 days - Yesterday and Today. I would be lying if I said I was not completely obsessed with this feature. It will also give you the search terms that they used. For example I just listed Lowla's Library and I can see that someone searched for Kindle Book Cover and one of mine came up on page 11.

I have also learned (some of you may already know this) that the title of your item also counts in etsy's tags. So, it might not be the best use of Tags to double up on things that are already in your title. This site has been amazingly helpful.

Go forth and explore it for yourself. It is a blast.
