external views shortage

[buyselljack2016]

I generally run about 30% "external" views.

Today, nary a one. 

Why?

Anyone else not being found externally today?

(inhawaii, spare me the humdrum post of "nobody wants what you are selling") (not in the mood for it)

eta: forgot the photo

Had 34.9% external last Monday.

Not really clear on "external" etc, but have to report that, when I click on "View Listings" for you, nothing comes up.  And I am in the US.  

ETA:  And when I click on your # of FB, I'm shown nothing either.

Chances are it’s just a delay or bug in the reporting rather than actually not getting an external view later. I can check our traffic in a little while.

It is possible that those "stats" are NOT in real time.  Look later and see if they change after a day or so? 
Just a guess.....bots recalculating? LOL.

External means it comes from somewhere other than eBay, probably Google searches most often.

I do not post on the boards with my "selling" ID 🤣

Thank you.  I should probably have been able to figure that out for myself.

And what's the significance of the fact that I see no current listings for the OP, nor am I able to view his feedback?

[buyselljack2016]

OK, thanks for the replies.  Not a big deal, just seems that to the best of my old man feeble memory I do not remember seeing this "delay" with "externals" not there, but then again, I have to take into consideration that this is eBay🤣

On the bright side (even though no sales) my click through rate is encouraging. I'm not just on the page that opens (impressions) when the buyers search but am actually getting views.

@ittybitnot  It's not just possible, on one of the pages they actually state that there can be an up to 3 day delay, so that's what I would think is going on @buyselljack2016 , but of course external views are variable, so it could be that your items were not popular on google (or wherever) for a day.  But if you normally run at 30%ish, it's probably just a delay in reporting the numbers.   Mine run a lot lower, so 1 extra view can mean a large variation in percentage.  

Your CTR is impressive!
