It's All Relevant

Hi there,
 
You may have noticed a change when searching for items on Etsy and that's because on Tuesday, August 9 we updated the way our search feature works so that the results show the most relevant items, instead of the most recently listed ones.
The Deal With Relevancy

The default search on Etsy now sorts your results by relevancy, instead of recency. Why? Well, we have done extensive testing and discovered that this change makes it easier for buyers to find what they are looking for and sellers to make a sale. Get the technical story behind this improvement in our blog announcement, read Chad's letter about how this change fits into our larger mission and get some tips from Michelle for reading your shop stats and staying on top of your SEO.

Kickstarter + Etsy

Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. Etsy is the world's online marketplace for vintage and handmade goods. It seems like a no-brainer that we should combine forces. Look no further than our new curated Kickstarter project page, where we will be highlighting an ever-changing collection of new and innovative projects!

 
What Small Business Do YOU Love?

GOOD magazine and Etsy love small businesses. They build community, boost local economies, highlight regional culture, and produce lower emissions than big corporations. To celebrate, and in anticipation of Hello Etsy, we are teaming up on this project to recognize exceptional examples. So tell us which local businesses you love and enter for a chance to win awesome prizes (like an Etsy gift certificate!).
