Allan call it what customers are calling it in searches 😉

 

I meant that I would use "Lincoln village" in conversation only as a bit of fun.

 

I will still continue to keyword "Lincoln City".

 

Thanks for the suggestion of adding in UK.

 

Allan

Some of my PU licenses appear to be zoomed beforehand. I guess these aren't (?) typical buyers.

I think you're correct John. It seems likely that these are professional buyers using the PU loophole.

 

The only time I've traced a "zoomer" was when a nephew of mine searched for images (of him on a charity ride). He's an image buyer for a TV magazine so his zooms appeared in my Measures. No sale resulted of course they were for a charitable use  - and I'm a generous uncle!

I once had an image-buyer license two images for publication and then download a third one from the same set for personal use. It seemed a bit odd, but perhaps someone just wanted something to hang on the office wall. I do wonder about other PU zoomers, though.

It is a very good job that you are not trapped in Getty's infamous Premium Access system where pictures used by global media companies 'earn' less than $1 often less than $0.25.

 

That gives a different perspective on Alamy's PU fees.

I  am a Getty provider but to date have provided nothing. 😄
