Sally Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 10 hours ago, LawrensonPhoto said: I would have thought with the amount of sales you have had it would be much higher! In comparison if you are talking about April CTR, mine was 1.04 Yes, my CTR is stubbornly low despite a lot of work culling tags to make them as specific as possible. But I have noticed my images appearing relatively high up on search terms. I think the kernel must be in Alamys’ comment that CTR is only a part of the overall ranking. And my CTR has since dropped below 0.60 anyway. I’ve long since given up worrying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fahd Khan Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 4 sales in this month (May 2020) so far. Unusual for me as I am used to get a sale after couple of months. Khan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Allsopp Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Total CTR is currently twice the Alamy average, three sales this month for a total of $$$ and if (but it's a big if) sales continue at the level achieved so far this year I might end the year 20% up on last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MizBrown Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 A sale reported in April of last year was finally paid for and I'll be getting a payout around the first week in June. Fish photos, which seem to be low three figures the two times I've sold those. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same image was reused/resold the following month for nearly half, by the same buyer I think so, and finally in March by another half. Not too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 A small achievement for many of you, but still giving me hope. Today I had my first zoom since February. Had sales since Feb, but not a single zoom, and my CTR was sliding down down down... Hopefully this will slow the sliding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of jumpers, fleece and camp fires. I love the smell of the fires drifting towards us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Even if nothing else clears next week I'm due for my largest payout since joining Alamy (excluding additional DACS). That's a great boost whilst feeling COVID-trapped. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blinking Eye Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 One sale and five zooms in the past month is unusually active for me. Not sure why things are picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Finally got to 7000 images uploaded last night. (captions proofread and amended this morning). CTR is above average. Still on page 1 of BHZ. Just need those sales to keep coming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
