Questions
How competitive is "glitch art" on Etsy?
17,349 listings currently compete for "glitch art", which is low for Etsy. 45% of the first page is paid placement, so most of page 1 is still won organically.
When does "glitch art" sell best?
Demand peaks in February, averaged over the last five years, and bottoms out in August. Etsy needs a few weeks to index and rank a listing, so publishing four to six weeks before February catches the climb rather than the peak itself.
What do "glitch art" listings sell for?
The median price across 11 listings on page 1 is $48.75, with most between $27.8 and $177.48. That is what buyers searching this phrase are already used to seeing.
Where do these numbers come from?
Demand and seasonality are measured with Google Trends for the US. Listing counts, pricing and ad share are read from Etsy's own search results. Nothing here is an estimated monthly search volume — Etsy does not publish search volume, and any figure claiming to be one is a guess.
