Extension summary

Every time nimble sellers find new ways of promote their shops on Etsy. We already know well Favathons, Clickathons and Treasury games as well as Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram social games, but recently appeared new kind of games usually called simply "SEARCH games" but I call them "Searchtons" :) The rules are quite simple - you need to publish a link to very specyfic search, where the listing you wish to promote is the only one in the results or at least is on the first place. Then other players click on your link and after that, click on your listing in the results of search and then, inside of your listing they refaving your shop and listing. You need to do the same with all links of others users. Thanks to these simple but time consuming actions every listing receives:

  • view from search
  • click from search
  • listing's view
  • listing's new like
  • shop's new like

As experience shows, all this actions during the game increase the rating of the listing making it get higher positions in trends (some people say that it also improves positions in search results) and so, better visibility and chanses to be sold.

Shortly speaking, all this sound well but the job needs to be done and playing Searchtons is very boring and time consuming exercise. In my opinion it is even worse then Clickathon with Favathon together. So as it is so hard I decided to try making it as easy as possible... and this is how I present you "Etsy Searchton" - new extension for Google Chrome browser. What it does? Well, in one word - "Searchton"... Longer description is:

  1. When you install the extension, new button "Start SEARCHTON" appears when you are inside team's threads
  2. When you click this button, the searchton game is started
  3. When searchton is started "Stop SEARCHTON" appears with which you will be able to stop playing whenever you wish

User reviews

Since Etsy changed the item page, it does not favorite the shop anymore...

Works well when it was working. I have messaged the developer twice to ask why it says my subscription is expired but it does not expire until next year but have not received a reply. Disappointed in the lack of support.
