Doc Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 As of two days, very few views and zooms recorded. Please sort out, Alamy. Thanks Kumar 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Reported it to CR yesterday Doc. Dougie Edit. Just noticed that if you go back and check your first day it will now be much higher. My main pseudo showed just 13 and it's now reporting 78 for the 29th. So it looks like it's 24 hrs slow to correct itself.

(But thanks for reporting to CR!) Don't know about zooms as those are few and far between, for me anyway. I seem to remember this 24 hr delay in views collation happened once before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broad Norfolk Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 As at 0930 hrs this morning no views and no zooms. Views had decreased to single figures and now have disappeared completely. Something is amiss!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webby Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 For yesterday I just get the yellow box with "Your account has not collected any activity for customers measured by the tool within the date selected." 0 views, 0 zooms. Not good 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ognyan Yosifov Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) A couple of hundred views are registered on the dashboard; when clicking on "my images" there is a date update as of today, but when clicking on the "go" there are no views. I guess those will be visible at some point later today or tomorrow. It is broken! Edited February 2 by Ognyan Yosifov 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alamy Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi All, As previously mentioned in other forum thread https://discussion.alamy.com/topic/17266-alamy-measures-sorry-weve-encountered-an-unexpected-error/ , we've now raised this with our IT team and will keep you updated. Please feel free to carry on conversations here and if you have any further issues with measures you can email us contributors@alamy.com Thanks, Chantelle 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StokeCreative Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 My zooms have been static for more than a week, and I'm getting between 0 and 2 views a day (normally 20-40 or so a day) Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 For example, On 2nd Feb set the measures date search to 31st Jan i.e. 48hrs, and the correct VIEW numbers will appear. There seems to be a delay in the correct view numbers being recorded. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a delay in the correct view numbers being recorded. Yes, my views are also showing up 48 hours afterwards. Sadly, the zooms are not being reported at all - my last zooms were on 26th January, ie a week ago. I noticed on the dashboard graph 'Last month average CTR on Alamy: 0.43', which is much lower than usual, and confirms 'Measures' specifically Zooms, isn't working for anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radim Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Thanks Chantelle for information, I don't know how deep the problem is, but it seems to me that the solution is moving slowly. The broken measure is a very important feedback tool for us. I hope you realize that. So far it looks like not. Radim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broad Norfolk Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just one view recorded for yesterday. Seems a lifetime ago when I was getting 300 per day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony ALS Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It seems it's different for each contributor. I've had 70 views reported this morning, the usual 0.00 CTR at the start of the month with zooms rare at best. No idea how important any of this is. Had 4 licenses last month only one of which was zoomed. If measures make a difference to the chance of images being seen and licensed then it's a concern of course.

This is something that concerns me as well. Since 'Measures' has been broken since the end of last year my CTR has gradually slipped and slipped Oct 2023 : 1.00 Nov 2023: 0.57 Dec 2023: 0.4 Jan 2024: 0.16 If CTR is still used in ranking I'm probably going to be stuffed going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Scheuern Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If you go back to previous days, though, you should see more. Or at least it's doing it for me. For example, yesterday it showed me very few views with "Yesterday" checked, but now if I do it with the date range set to February 1 to February 1, it's showing a lot more. So it seems to be lagging by a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Picking some random comparison dates: 10 Jan: 839 views, 4 zooms, 1 sale 19 Jan: 1041 views, 5 zooms, 1 sale 22 Jan: 1032 views, 6 zooms, 2 sales 26 Jan: 798 views, 2 zooms, 1 sale 27 Jan: 221 views, 0 zooms, 0 sales 28 Jan: 452 views, 0 zooms, 1 sale 29 Jan: 878 views, 0 zooms, 7 sales 30 Jan: 932 views, 0 zooms, 1 sale 31 Jan: 1127 views, 0 zooms, 3 sales 1 Feb: 770 views, 0 zooms, 5 sales 2 Feb: 6 views, 0 zooms, 3 sales Despite making sales on those dates, zero zooms equals zero CTR, so as Martin says it could be damaging for ranking.

Alexander Hogg Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Already damaged ranking It's dropping like flies Edit From 1st of January till the 2nd Feb 556 Views 2 Zooms Total 1st Feb till 2nd Feb 41 views 1 Zooms Total Edited February 3 by Alexander Hogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Basically since 27th Jan or thereabouts views have been lagging behind by a couple of days, but virtually no zooms are being registered at all. As a result everybody's CTR is tumbling. In the past, Alamy has sometimes been able to "recover" the lost zooms, so they may be able to do this again. Or maybe not.
