Southpole Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 no zooms for 2 weeks , seems a little strange anyone in similar situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 They are working, I have a few but currently have more sales than zooms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inchiquin Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I haven't had a zoom for 3 weeks. I haven't had a sale for 2 months. As far as I'm concerned Alamy has fallen off a cliff. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Walker Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 6 new zooms this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Zooms are working - although I'm not getting any at the moment. A lot of the searches where I'm recording views have other zooms (not mine) recorded against them so buyers are still using the zoom facility. Having said that, more than half (66/119) have no zooms at all so it looks like many buyers are content with the mouse over views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losdemas Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 January is always a little slow in getting going - you can write off the first few days (bank holiday/weekend). Things'll pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Zooms are working normally as far as I can see Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Zooms are up for me at the moment. 11 this morning and above my average on previous days. I wish I could say the same for sales though! Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Six Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I believe it's the normal impact of the 2 week UK Xmas holiday. Certainly my zooms, sales, CTR etc have all fallen off the cliff but I remember the same thing happening last January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Zooms? My Views are down to half my average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arletta Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Zooms? My Views are down to half my average. Same here. I wrote about it in Dec. that I start to worry. It looks really bad Gladly sales are showing up still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin P Wilson Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 My views collapsed (to ~30% of September) between Mid November and last week. My 7 day moving average and total trend line went seriously negative as a result. But the views and MA has spiked back up in last couple of days; the trend should be positive by the end of the week if the recovery stays on track. Won't look at my weekly and monthly charts until the end of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Since the rerank back in November, I haven't had a single zoom or sale. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Yates Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Views are back where they were before Christmas. Zooms picked up last Friday and today, and sales are sitting at 2 for £119. A similar trend happened last year and probably every year. Christmas should be banned "bah humbug" Its only the 12th so plenty of time yet.

Ed Rooney Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Zooms have never had a constant, predictable relationship with my Sales. As I said, I'm most concerned about my drop in Views; they've gone down faster than oil prices. 2014 was overall a pretty good year for me, considering the size of my collection. Sales were up and prices were higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Zooms are working here. A couple of new ones showed up today. However, it's a very slow month so far with one refund and resale of an image for $1.67 less than the original price. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Palmer Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Views are off 30% or more from November and before, zooms have dropped to zero and my last sale was the first week in December. Knowing the same thing happened last year is all that has staved off a really deep funk. The re rank didn't help much but I only slipped a few spots really. I'm concerned the new larger thumbnails have eliminated the need to zoom for many buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nacke Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Unfortunately zooms seem to be working, although I wish I had the excuse to say that they are not.... Slow. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stipe Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Today I had 15 images zoomed which, in my case, is the highest amount ever experienced since I am in Alamy. Let's hope for the best in terms of likely sales in the near future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Sporadic is the word I'd use to describe my zoom count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 In my experience, there is usually a lull after the holidays. Things don't start picking up until the middle of January (right about now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yup, zooms down a bit, but not gone completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
