I started a forum in etsy about the front page analysis I do each Tuesday and I found out people want some analysis done of my findings.  I’ve decided to try to do this on the last day of the month – seems appropriate.  So, here’s what I have.  This is from January 1st through February 16th.  I think there is about a three day hole in there that I missed on the etsy flickr site, but it’s the best I can do right now….

KEYWORDS:

The most used keyword is ROMANTIC.  Of the 62 keywords that were used for the front page in the time from January 1st through February 16th, romantic was used 7 times, or 11.3%.

2nd – recycled, 6 times or 9.7%

3rd – tie:  geometric and Haiti relief: 4 times or 6.5%

4th – love, 3 times or 4.8%

INSPIRED BY:

I counted 49 front pages created by ‘inspired by’ themes.

Appropriate to the month and time frame, Valentine’s Day wins first in this category having11 front pages, or 22.5%.

2nd – with 4 front pages – fairy tales (or whimsical fairy tales)  8.2%

3rd –with 2 front pages – Winter Olympics, 4.1%

MISCELLANEOUS:

The most common miscellaneous front pages (besides, unique gift ideas and browsing etsy categories) are Community Picks from Etsy Treasury’s and Pounce your way to New Finds. 

Etsian Curated Front Pages

In the month an a half that I watched (excluding those three forementioned days), there were 384 front pages made by etsians!  WooHoo! 

Front Page Makers

ThePeachTree, NiuTaller, glassetc, and coolranchstudio all had 4 treasuries.

zwzzy, TheFancyLamb, RustBeltThreads, ozetta, LostandFawned, kauthiroussel, glasfaden, and DawnCorrespondence, all had 3 treasuries make the front page.

Nice work!
