You know how important traffic is. Without traffic you would have zero sales. The idea behind the Etsy Traffic Log is to help you keep track where your traffic is coming from from an entire year. The goal-tracking feature is designed to help you keep motivated and strive for more traffic. Traffic = Sales!
Here is a screen shot of what the Etsy Traffic Tracker looks like. You will notice your traffic will be broken down by day and week. The Goal Tracking feature is simple to use. Just enter your traffic goal and the traffic count down is updates every time you enter more traffic.
This tool is an Excel spreadsheet based tool that can be used by artists that use both a pc or a mac if Microsoft Excel or Open Office is installed

Wow, so much content. Thanks so much for sharing and re-sharing all of these great tips and articles. I’m printing this page off so I can tick off as I go. I don’t want to miss a thing, especially with the gift-giving season coming.
Its my first Christmas in my Etsy shop – in a competitive market I need all the help I can get to make my products stand out.
Thanks again for everything this site does to make my new business a success.
Lots of great info all in one spot! I love it. I also love my Etsy Traffic Log. Thanks again!
Great list of “must-dos”.
But, I need help!
When I try to connect my shop to my Facebook fan page, it connects to my personal page instead. How can I change this? I have my business page for a reason, my life is personal and I don’t want all of my customers reading about my family. So, please help. The video from Etsy is no help at all.
Good advice, but the video went too fast for me to get all the details. I am not all that computer savvy:)
as always,Tim, your site is a fountain of useful information. Great job!
Thanks so much for sharing The Mogul Mom’s Twitter post!
