I know this has come up before, and I realize that some newer items or items sold in the last year may get views, but today I have had a lot of views on items that have been sold going all the way back to 2010, that’s 3 years ago! Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this. Wish I could get that many views on my non sold items. It’s not from feedbacks because the items did get a feedback.

I get a lot of views on sold items as well, and noticed these views came from Bing and AOL, and a few from Google. If your item has been tweeted or indexed into any site or blog it will stay there forever it seems, as long as where it ended up provides fresh content. Hopefully the buyer will look around once they land at our stores so it is not all bad.

Wish the sold items could be deleted – most of my google searches are sold items – maybe something Bonz Boyz should be working on to eliminate the CLUTTER!

It does no good to delete those items, I have deleted the ones I know I won’t be able to get any more of and I get more views on those than the ones I am selling now, Mine go back to 4 years of sales, These are deleted and have been

I have an item in my booth that I have multiples of. But it’s handmade so when one sells, we take new pictures and relist.
It’s always listed in my booth and when I sell it I relist it in my booth with new pictures. Several times in the last two months I’ve had potential buyers contact me asking if I still sell this item (it’s our "we don’t dial 911 iron art shotgun signs). They’re finding the sold ones out on the search engines and then sending us ?’s asking if we still sell them.
Frustrating that they’re finding the OLD sold listings but not the ones listed in our booth for well over 30 days now.
Each time I tell them YES we still sell them and have even sent them a link to the active page, but we never hear from them again. I’m sure they’re wary of clicking my link in their email and can’t say as I blame them.
It’s frustrating as we used to sell several of these each month but now for some reason the ones our potential buyers are finding on the net are ones we sold a LONG time ago. Never the new ones. Not sure why that is (?)

Yes, I’ve had views on items that didn’t get feedback and have wondered the same thing. If your viewing past sold items I’m sure that would count just as it does when you click on your items to make changes to them, but I have and still do get views on sold items that I myself am not viewing. If you didn’t receive feedback but left feedback for the buyer, it may be possible that the item was viewed by your past customer.

I do a Lot of research on items I place. I have noticed Many Bonaza items in them that lead to a dead page.

Hopefully, the ‘searcher’ clicks into your ‘other items’ once they see that item is ‘sold’.

Is anybody using the Advertising link to EB and Goog shopping? How’s it working.
Would it be better to delete those items that get 0 views, or to keep them up?

I get these all the time and sometimes I like to put in my exact title into Google or Yahoo search to see where it may have come from, such as Pinterest, Made It Myself etc. It’s interesting to see how your items (even if sold) get viewed. Normally I view my stats to not include the sold items.
