wiskerke Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Yep everything is back in order. You have all been right and I was wrong. No returning summer dip. At least not with Measures. Maybe with the tech department. August has been a very normal month equal to July. Now back to bean re-counting. 😂 wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony ALS Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Email reply from Alamy. 'We’ve since spoken to our IT team, and they are aware of an issue with the Alamy measures. They’re trying to resolve this as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience.' I now have an extra 6 zooms added and almost 1,000 more views so IT have done something to correct this. Hope it runs smoothly again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT looking into it 5. Some random change happens 6.Radio silence 7. Rinse and repeat 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Looks like Alamy/PA have found the missing views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Quite a few Zooms are now showing that I hadn't seen previously. Interesting that only a minority of sales were zoomed ( blue). The first thumbnail sold 5 times without even one zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I had 7 zooms show up today. It caused quite a spike in my graph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 My zooms have more than doubled from 35 to 74 with the lights being turned back on. Now for those sales........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 38% more views and 25% more zooms, still lower than normal but some improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Yep, big increase in views and zooms. So much for nothing is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) The glitch started probably in the weekend of August 15 or a bit later that week. My views and zooms have roughly doubled. wim Edited September 3, 2021 by wiskerke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broad Norfolk Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) This still bugs me to a certain extent. The recovery of views and zooms up to the end of August produced a lot of missing data which improved my statistics although, to be fair, not quite to where they were in previous months. Since the 1st September my views have recovered slightly but still down a touch but absolutely no zooms for which I expect an average of one per day based on past experience. CTR is starting to drop like a stone. Has anybody else noticed this or am I just being paranoid? My suspicions remain that this is still not performing correctly.

It's very clear that there are serious issues with Alamy's systems, the only question being whether they are migrating to a new one which will be more stable or are they just patching up holes as they appear.

"The boy searching for the issue with his binoculars" shows up EVERY SINGLE MORNING just right after the update when a bunch of us starting checking the new results at the same time. Then the system experiences a glitch for about 15-20 mins ... It's nothing new. Edited September 7, 2021 by Ognyan Yosifov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colblimp Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Zooms, views, CTR - all I care about is sales. Zooms mean nothing in the greater scheme of things and I could care less about them. Am I in the minority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptoprocta Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 That said, I only care about CTR if it affects Alamy Rank and therefore position in search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
