Is it their total for the rolling year, or their average (if more than one pseudonym)? Or is it either total or average for the rolling month? It makes quite a difference as to which figure you choose. Alex 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In comparison if you are talking about April CTR, mine was 1.04 Live News don't have an input into CTR, until after they hit the main stock side, and then the descriptions may get a few more false results, so I can see why the CTR of a successful Live News could lead to interesting results, depending on number of images per submissions....

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 post Share on other sites

Fahd Khan 22 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 post Share on other sites

Bill Allsopp 115 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 post Share on other sites

MizBrown 594 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 post Share on other sites

Regis 145 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 post Share on other sites
