While we're on the subject, just what is a view? ??? My understanding is when your image is shown from a viewer’s (customer‘s) search, and whatever page your image was on, the customer viewed that page. Whether he/she locked onto your image and paid attention to it is a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That famous quote from the Bible comes to mind: "For many are called, but few are chosen." Or ... "close but no cigar." 🤠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Thanks, Betty and John. I have no misunderstanding. And no understanding either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 June Views 2022: 24,509; August views 2022: 20,361, ie august views were 83% of June views. The percentages do not particularly surprise me as they have been similar for the past 3-4 years. Prior to that Augusts' views were closer, but always a little down on June as I think more people are away on holiday and there is a little less market activity. What concerns me more is that the overall numbers of views is markedly down on say 4-5 years ago, where I was getting almost double the number of views I am getting now, and can see no obvious reason why this should be except for possibly and overall reduction in market activity in Alamy/PA?

Kumar I would think the increase in Alamy’s image numbers from 4-5 years ago would have some influence. I doubt any of us can upload enough, quickly enough, to keep the percentages relevant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 June 1,187 / 1 zoom / 3 sales July 1,326 / 7 zooms / 0 sales Aug 1,201 / 5 zooms / 3 sales July was best for views and zooms, and worst for sales - none! But views are generally up from earlier in the year which is a encouraging. If no one sees my photos, they can't sell. Zooms don't seem to make much difference with my images - it's a surprise when a zoomed file actually sells. As you can see I had more sales (which showed up in my measures stats) than zooms in June. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
