Generating traffic on Etsy
In July I set up an Etsy store for Tamarack Stoneware and have now had it stocked and the information fully developed for a few months. What I'm finding is that unless you add new listings every few days, the traffic generated through the Etsy search engine drops to very low levels. I have tried Etsy's paid promotion option and found that it does not produce traffic. I've connected the Etsy shop to my Facebook page but haven't figured out a way to make the connection link prominent on either side. Has anyone used Etsy and figured out what it takes to make it work well?

I looked through the listings on Handmade when they first launched. My hope was that it would be high quality goods but I didn't think that was the case after paging through their offerings. I hope you find great success there.
Have you seen Uncommon Goods? http://www.uncommongoods.com/designs ? I am thinking I will give them a shot if I get some inventory.

Yep, that makes sense. Getting traffic is a huge issue for online sales - Amazon knows how to generate traffic and, as you pointed out, people are comfortable buying from them. I hope you continue to have good success there.
