Doc Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hi Alamy! Measures is clearly not working properly again, and hasn't been for a few days. Please could it be looked at? Thanks Kumar 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring sales were way up on what had become norm and now they seem to have collapsed again. It can't all be written off as swings and roundabouts. Whatch-a-playin'-at Alamy? Go on, give us a hint. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on, give us a hint. 😉 Buyers are often not presented with a well balanced selection for any search. Many irrelevant images are appearing on the first pages of searches. Ancient inferior images from photographers belonging to other agencies are given preference over long suffering Alamy contributors with broad local coverage. The algorithm has not been improved with these recent changes. Many buyers must be just as frustrated as we are. Things are made even worse when often if you refresh a page or hit the back button you are given a whole new set of results. Only diligent experienced buyers will know how to find what they want under these conditions. My Spring sales were also way up before the changes. The new daily "Measures" results are unfortunately accurate. Yours, mine and many others images are not being seen as much as before. There is not much incentive to upload under this current scenario. Yes, Alamy, what are you playing at? Is it working for you? N.B. above comment was written day before New Web site design format. My initial thoughtful comment on the change was censored. Edited June 21, 2022 by Chexy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Myford Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Measures is telling me that I had five views yesterday - more than expected - but when I click to see what they were it reports that the page was not found. Alamy's catchphrase should be "If it ain't broke, break it", rather than "Own the page". I'm supposed to be avoiding stress at the moment, so I should probably stay away from Alamy for a few more weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or when you click on a pseudonym that did not get any views yesterday, all is displayed also. Weird. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony ALS Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 The silence from Alamy is what disturbs me most. The last 'Announcement' from Alamy was the 'Merry Christmas' message. I know they reply to some threads now and again but if changes are made an 'Announcement' would help alleviate the annoyance of contributors perhaps. I only knew about the re rank because I read the forums. The consequences like so many have reported is a distinct drop in views. The new look website to me is disastrous and anyone epileptic would be put in hospital. Seems the feeling of partnership the long standing contributors used to feel has evaporated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCat Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Measures still not working this morning. I can click on the zoom number and see what it is but couldn't see the list of views so as to see the search words used by the client.

Rebecca Ore Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It's been broken for over a week. Clicking on "Image" in contributors' profiles still isn't working. Clicking on my main pseudonym in Alamy Measures doesn't work, but my "real name" pseudonym does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Still broken here Sunday afternoon - links still get an error message. At least the handful of images I uploaded earlier in the week passed QC quickly but Measures has been broken for too long - it shouldn't take over a week to fix it. What's up Alamy? Not even a clue about what's happened & when it will be fixed? We may complain here but at least that means we're still trying to make a go of it here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 12 hours ago, Alexander Hog said: On a different topic Alamy has posted this about an hour ago but still no mention about measures I emailed contributor relations about measures not working and got this reply from Chantelle ...

Tony ALS Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Added 20 views today which is down on the new norm of 40 a day but it was 150+ daily before these 'improvements'. Curiously I am getting an average of a zoom a day so my CTR is heading upwards. Fixing whatever has gone wrong seems to be taking a long time.

Marianne Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 My views have been dropping daily and other than that measures isn't working as noted above. It's a mess. Fell to only 37 views yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
