Certainly not more effective for me across my 5 shops. I was have good success with the old Etsy ads but not with these – I have turned them off. Not being able to control our top CPC is one of the fatal flaws. I am yet to meet someone who does like this new ad system. The best I do is make $1 for every $1 I spend on ads – so ending up doing the work for nothing.

I tested their onsite ads out over the last month and the cost is so expensive. Forty five cents a click on a pair of jeans, sixty cents for a coat. My budget is always devoured within thirty minutes to an hour. I gave up on using them because they never give my shop a good return. I miss being able to set our bid price, you used to be able to set it at two cents a click and I would get a lot of traffic and orders.

I haven’t tried their off site ads yet. I did notice starting in February all my organic traffic dried up from Google and my items from Etsy where no where to be found on their product/item search. But, my items from Poshmark are still in the results and the same with Pinterest/Blog.

Nope, Etsy ads stink! So many WORTHLESS expensive clicks.
