Etsy Buzz on the Rise


Blog mentions of Etsy have followed a steady upward trajectory over the past 6 months. While sellers use blogs to drive traffic to their pages and shoppers share special finds, it's not just personal bloggers driving the discussion. Influencial blogs like BoingBoing.net are beginning to pick up on Etsy artists. On November 21, BoingBoing.net featured Guy Michael Davis' turkey head salt and pepper shakers. With over 2 million global visitors each month (according to Quantcast), this mention on BoingBoing.net alone is sure to drive traffic to Etsy.

Mission Statement

As a self-diagnosed Etsy addict and data enthusiast, my goal is to provide analysis for Etsy.com and explore how the social media space is shaping small businesses.

Importantly, I am in no way affiliated with Etsy--I'm just an Etsy fan that happens to love online market research and social media analysis.
