Sultanpepa Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 For the last week my reported views have been up and down. So much so I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this and also wonder if Alamy are tinkering with the reporting criteria. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 4th of July? Have noticed the same. Also something that looked a lot like a re-rank. Oops! wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reimar Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Whether it's a re-rank or not, I don't know, but it's not like the ones we used to have. My two better pseudos went up one row and my worst went down 2 rows. It's the right direction, but far from the wild changes I used to see. I too see wilder swings in views than before. Edit to clarify: This week, views have tumbled from 700-800 to less than 400 per day. As Wim suggested, it may be due to holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Ashmore Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 My views have bee fairly steady.. but zooms are like London buses.. none for ages and then a whole fleet arrives at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Yates Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Views are consistent. Zooms seem to show up in greater numbers when the update runs later in the day UK time. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Walker Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 My zooms and sales have moved up a notch and my CTR has dropped through the floor over the last month or so. Until today that is, when my CTR has suddenly jumped back to it's usual level. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, by the end of the month it usually settles down, albeit below where I'd like it to be . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 For the past couple of days real time sales (net revenue) has been lagging behind dashboard update. A sale from yesterday is showing in account balance and sales report but not in net revenue. Same for a sale from the 5th - now showing in net revenue.

Rubens Alarcon Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 My zooms have also declined considerably, but none of my sales are for images that have been zoomed. I'm just worried about my CTR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losdemas Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Similar to others: zooms really low this month, CTR is way down and only one pathetically poor sale which turned up yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Only 68 views today. That just over half what I would look for on a poor day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Only one PU sale and a distributor this month. Possible reasons? 1 On or around 4th of July there has been a drastic change back to the system we got in December, but had been mitigated on or around April 24th. 2 Maybe clients have the same problems with logging in as we do: In IE I get: Error on page when trying to log in. In Chrome and Firefox there are sometimes, but not always those captchas. It seems worse on Macs. 3 Brexit has happened while we were not looking. 4 There has been a re-rank after all while we were not looking. 5 Who knows; all of the above? wim edit: for Brexit read: the sky has fallen ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Zooms down in the dumps for me too, plus only two sales so far this month. 7. Everyone is in a state of shock after the G20 / G19+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariaJ Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 My zooms have gone from a record high last month to only one so far this month. Regression towards the mean? Or perhaps not, if others are also showing the same trend. Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Ashmore Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 i don't know if it has any relevance but i have noticed that Alamy Measures/Metrics have been updated much earlier for the last few days. Previously they would be updated sometime in the mid afternoon but now they seem to have been updated by the time I turn my laptop on at 9 am.

I am also seeing a much earlier update of Measures, am rather than pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Zooms are holding up fairly well for me this month - I had 6 yesterday. Sales on the otherhand - just 1 so far. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 After two years of consistent zooms and CTR both have now tanked since the start of the month. Not that the results were spectacular, but it was a very even keel. Don't think I will bother uploading much more to Alamy if they decide to mess around in this way.

fotoDogue Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Since July 4th - 0 zooms and my CTR is down to 0 too. By comparison I had 30 zooms for the month of June and my CTR was 52. So far I've had 2 sales this month when I had been averaging 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
