Broad Norfolk Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 2 hours ago, Sultanpepa said: Just 20 views yesterday beating my previous low. It's getting worse by the day. Are Alamy giving up? It's happening with me too. Just 23 views yesterday and I can't recall when it was last as low as this. I realise yesterday was a bank holiday in the UK but I've not known it to be this low even on a 'holiday'! Just a comment on the last two months - in general my Dashboard has been gradually declining in terms of activity, so much so it gives me a feeling of stagnation. Not much happening at all. Prior to this there was always something happening which was quite dynamic. Are we now in a 'Digital Lockdown'!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 My views and zooms have remained in my normal (average) range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniMarkus Hasa Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I had 8 views yesterday and my August CTR is 0.09. Seems plausible. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I had a rousing 31. I usually have at least a hundred. So strange. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since COVID my average daily views have been 1200-1400, and 8-12 zooms, but in the last 10 days or so both figures have been roughly half of those (and consequently CTR hasn't changed significantly) I originally wondered if it was due to August holidays, but it seems rather more significant than that. I wonder if Measures is partially broken? Kumar Yes mine have been down by at least 50% over the last couple of weeks, usually 600+ for my main pseudo but now barley getting 300. I didn't know if my ranking had changed so it is a relief to know it's not just me Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 My views are down to half their previous pandemic low. Even with summer vacation, I've never seen so few views. Something is definitely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've emailed alamy and they replied yesterday saying they're not aware of a problem but will look into it and get back. I wondered if the method Alamy uses to rank contributors had been tweaked in favour of the big agency contributors. Probably not likely as not everyone using the forum has had issues.

aphperspective Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I have given up on anything measures does as any sort of useful tool, as long as the sales report and sales history is ok the rest seems good fiction reading at bedtime.😒 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With sales down it worries me that 'my' customers aren't either using Alamy any more, or aren't finding my images in the way that they were either by some form of weighted search towards PA and other big agencies or that I've dropped down in the ratings.

I've emailed alamy and they replied yesterday saying they're not aware of a problem but will look into it and get back. My views look fine but I haven’t had a zoom for over a week which is highly unusual and I don’t think can be attributed to the bank holiday. Hopefully the lack of any data today means that something is being fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the lack of any data today means that something is being fixed. i had a couple of zooms in last week, but both time when i looked at "yesterday's" result their was no zoom that day. I could identify the new one looking at monthly data, my zooms are down so not too hard, but something else was messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) so measures have been a mess. Many people have been concerned with licensing fee and terms, but for Alamy, this is still top of list on the forum Could i suggest The importance of being accurate in your communication with contributors might be a bit more à propos.
