Are item view suppose to decrease?

Ok, I’ll just come out with it. My item views are decreasing, how is that? Last night my item views was showing like 250, within one hour they decrease by 100, how is that? That’s not all, I’m not saying I’m not doing my part and advertising, but, from my understanding bonanza post for us in google, now I may be wrong, but, I have seen a few of my things advertised. When you go to seller dashboard and click advertising, then click broadcaster, you can scroll down and see your items and how many views. This is what has me pissed, I have 7 pages of items, but only the first page and half the second one have any views. If my math is correct 5 and a half pages are not being seen. Am I wrong or is something else wrong? It seems to me that after a month all my items should have been seen at least once. That combined with items views decreasing by 100 in about an hour, has me wondering what the hell is going on. Am I not seeing or understanding this right? I cant be completely wrong or that confused, I know how to read and add. I can understand things pretty well, but if I’m way off on this, I need some help. Can someone please let me know, thank you.

As tomwayne says//if you are looking at the stats page on your Seller Dashboard…that is a rolling total views over the last 30 days…and my guess there was high volume of views a month or so before Christmas and since then the views have been dropping…

Since the views go from highest to lowest..ie popularity .the first couple of pages in batch edit will always have the highest number and the later pages will have fewer..it just means those items were not clicked on by anyone viewing it in google shopping.

Mine shows views of the last 30 days as 8,000+ views and there are 2 items that have no views at all
Been here nine years and there is always something does not get any views…just means, I need to work on title/description or check for google feed errors

Also there are 9 pages of your items in google shopping..the items are there..views=clicks

If you want to know how many of your items are in the google feed

Seller Dashboard
Ad troubleshooter
The number of items sent in your US google feed will be listed..

If you list internationally, those numbers will also be listed by area/country

there will also be any feed errors listed…for you to correct

PS
Just because the feed is sent to google with all the items..google does pick and choose what to show.
Sometimes for new ‘stores’ Google will follow a slow roll-out for search results. Google shows a few products/ads throughout the day and then checks how they perform. As more shoppers click your products/ads then Google shows those ads more often.

I was trying to figure out the same thing
I think a huge issue with traffic here is when you test your booth or individual items on the google mobile friendly tester it says those pages are not mobile friendly with 3 errors on every page tested in booth and booth itself
Most peeps shop via a cell phone and not being mobile friendly most likely keeps many from browsing past the first page or google even including them

It is possible that you are looking at a rolling number that changes. For instance, you could be viewing the views over the past 30 days.

The place where I saw the views was on the seller dashboard between see reports and manage booth. Right now it’s up pretty good. Thank you
