0 Steve F Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) John, sorry to hear that. Not seeing any effect myself, average sales figures for me: 1/7/2024 2/7/2024 3/7/2024 5/7/2024 7/7/2024 9/7/2024 9/7/2024 12/7/2024 Edited July 13 by Steve F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Alexander Hogg Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Some others have mentioned the same with similar ports as yourself I'm on the low end for getting sales anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Broad Norfolk Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 In the last two and a half months I have had three sales, each for $0.67 net each. Hardly anything seems to happen on my dashboard except that recently better views and zooms returns have appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 John Mitchell Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Super slow month for me so far, but I hesitate to blame it on Sir Keir. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vincent Lowe Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) I thought I was off to a good start to the month with a $70 sale on the 3rd. Refunded on the 11th then sold again on the same day for the same fee (but change of usage dates). Apart from that - zilch, nada, nowt.

0 IanDavidson Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I have had a good month with nearly 50 licences so far to date.. However, I am, largely, a political photographer so if I don’t do well now I never will. However, on a more general note, Alamy has hundreds of millions of photographs with around a hundred thousand new submissions a day. My view is that the distribution of sales is going to be largely random, unless you are a specialised contributor. The algorithm to decide what photos buyers see first is largely a secret, and changed from time to time. and if you are not in the first two pages of search results you are unlikely to be licensed.. There used to be lively debate on the subject of rankings, their operation and how to better it by contributors far more learned than me. Sadly such discussions seem to have died. i think one just has to accept “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” as a characteristic of our marketplace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's stuck now and not too bad a final amount by today's standards. Edited July 14 by Keith Burdett Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone out there must have taken pity on me - five sales dropped in today, four at $19.47 and one at $14.45. Not as good as I thought - just realised all but the $14.35 are distributor sales (France). Still.... Onward and upward....👍 Edited July 15 by Vincent Lowe To add the last bit 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
