What is everyone paying in ad fees? If at all...

Wondering what everyone is paying. I noticed your advertising limit mysteriously increases randomly as you increase your budget.

Currently paying $10/day, but I just got offered to double that.

I haven't done any advertising with Et.sy. Ever. Like even before I was suspended the first time. Do you find it creates a lot more sales?

I always sort of thought with the risk of suspension it might not be worth it for me.

Well, to be clear, I'm referring to Google Shopping. I do not advertise within Et.sy itself. And yes, it helps quite a bit for me so it makes it worth it. I mean, Google Shopping is literally how I survive with all my stores across the web.

Interesting to know, I tried google shopping years ago and never got much from it at all. May have to sort out my data feed and give it another try.

Right, this is what I'm doing at the moment:

I had £10 Etsy ad limit all December and january, now they bumped me to £20.
I used £10 across 10 or so products, but since yesterday I decided to test a different method and I've put all £20 for 1 of my best selling items(80% of my income) and I'll see how it works, or if it works.
I'll roll like that for about a week or so and see if I notice a difference in traffic and sales and if everything goes horribly wrong, I'll just go back to spreading my ad money between 10 or so listings.

I also spend a fiver on Google, but thats kinda meh.

I'd love to be better at ads, as I believe I could easily sell more, but I know NOTHING about Google Shopping or how to generate more traffic to my Etsy store from outside of Etsy itself.

If you have a sugggestion, hit me up.

I did et/sy ads once, a long time ago, and they did not do anything for me. I got best results out of title/tags optimization
