Stokie Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I had an Alamywhack today, whereby a two word search only returned 1 image. It was zoomed as well so hopefully it will turn into a sale. I think that's the first Alamywhack i've had! Anybody else had any? John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a four word search which produced 14 images of mine which was also the sum of the total views with one zoom. I will wait in anticipation..... Jim.

Allan Bell Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Not an Alamywhack but similar two word search with 25 images showing of which about half were not even for the search requested. Guess what I did? Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchiquin Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 More or less. It actually returned three images, all of which were mine. It's very satisfying when you see this: I'm still waiting for the sale to drop in though Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I had one last week that only brought up two very similar pics of mine - if I edited more ruthlessly it would have been (and yes, it resulted in a sale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Richmond Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Four in the last month. Three were for the same subject so I suppose it only really counts as two. None zoomed I do get quite a few where my images are the only matches on Alamy but, knowing that, I'll upload two or three variations on the theme so, strictly speaking, not Alamywhacks. They often turn into sales. The benefits of shooting obscure subjects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Robinson Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 There are still some surprising whackworthy gaps on Alamy. I spend a lot of time lurking around Westminster and I am often surprised how few/absent are the pics of some MPs. The pic I mentioned above was of a Tory MP and I was amazed that there were NO images of him on Alamy before my two. Mind you, his name is spellt funny so he might be there somewhere misspellt.

vpics Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Had one yesterday. Very specific query (with 4 words) and only 1 image on Alamy. One zoom. No sales as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarsMadsen Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 So that's when only your images are returned from a search? Or when only one result is returned? I've had the former happen only twice in the last year (just checked) and both times it was for the same search. It didn't result in any sale either. Was for a specific insect species.

Was for a specific insect species. not sure this was ever defined. I did get a 2 word search where they only 6 results were mine, from one shoot. More important, it was also a sale reported a few weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
