You're correct that many views without a sale will hurt your search ranking, works the same with watchers as well.

Seller promote their own listings. Just in case anyone doesn't know, sellers bid a percentage to have their listings towards the top of searches. I promote all my listings at 1% and the extra views help make more sales.
