pseudonyms

[new york rat]

Hello. I'm sort of new here and I wanted to get any info experienced users can give me about the use of pseudonyms. I read a blog elsewhere that they sort of work like sets do in SS. I originally uploaded all my images to the same pseudonym but after reading that blog, I separated them into different pseudonyms by category of pictures. I noticed my ranking fell after doing that. I don't know if that's just temporary until the different pseudonyms catch up, but I find it confusing. Can anyone tell me the exact purpose of using different pseudonyms and is it a good or bad idea? Thanks.

I personally have just the one pseudonym , but I know some have several.

 

Other than for keeping track of images i'm not sure there are any sales benefits - perhaps others with several pseudonyms are better placed to answer your question.

I have several, covering different subjects. One for travel, studio, sport, news etc. When you have thousands on images it helps.

There has been a recent discussion about 'artworks' - including (?) stamps and stained glass windows. I have lots of images of both, and they have separate pseudos - which came in very useful last week when I had to find them all quickly.

OK, then I guess i"ll keep my various pseudonyms just to make it easier  to sort them out.

 

On another note, wow, almost 42,000 images, Phil Robinson! That's impressive. Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do with my measly 175

I wouldn't worry too much about your ranking until you've got a couple of thousand images. Views/sales has the most impact on your rank.
