Please note that I have controlled for the number of days in each month (converted to a daily average then x 30) to provide a better idea of what is going on without the confound of differences in the number of days/month. The figures are therefore slightly different from the raw numbers reported by etsy because I think it is misleading to compare periods of different durations.
Further details about how the results were obtained can be found in my earlier post here
Average number of items sold per shop* 2009-2010
Average pageviews per shop 2009-2010
*Number of active sellers is based on the figures available here http://www.etsy.com/shops_sellers.php as recorded by duhbeOverall site figures: items sold end07-2010
Overall site figures: pageviews 2008-2010
Very interesting - thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletereally interesting. The average amount sold per shop seems so low - around 7 items. Is that for the whole year?!
Are there a lot of shops on Etsy that sell no items?
That's a monthly average (months shown on horizontal axis).
ReplyDeleteAs to the second question, I'd say probably yes.
