Krisken Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 hi folks, Just got an e-mail from Alamy pointing this out. Should I be doing cartwheels of joy or running for the hills? Krisken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Todd Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 If there are 37,000 Alamy photographers then that means there are another 3,699 with that email No, I wasn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Zooms have become an endangered species for me the last year or so and my ctr looks like the east face of the Matterhorn. I'm waiting for the email to tell me I'm in the bottom 10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyAppleRed Images Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 My zooms are not exactly astronomical but I got the e-mail a few days ago. Bit of a shock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I got that e-mail too. It's certainly better than "not trending" I would imagine. I'm still getting daily zooms on my main pseudo, which has to be a good thing. Always happy to be a trendsetter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I got that email too. I think it was probably meant to say "bottom 10" ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njene Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I got it too Unfortunately I don't have a single sale in 2015 yet, so it means nothing Only sales count, and they're few and far between for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariaJ Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I also got that email. I'm thinking it's because last week I had a spike in my CTR - for one day - when it was early in the month and I had a zoom and few views. Since then I've had lots of views and no zoom, and my CTR has dropped back down. Oh well, it was nice being trendy while it lasted Also agree with the rest, it's the sales that really matter.

John Mitchell Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I imagine that people with small collections were more likely to get this e-mail than those with huge numbers of images on sale, so it's probably a bit misleading in that respect. Still, it's encouraging to know that our images are alive and kicking so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Crean Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think I might have been trendy in the 1980's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think I might have been trendy in the 1980's Yes but did you get an e-mail telling you so!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Crean Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think I might have been trendy in the 1980's Yes but did you get an e-mail telling you so!! No… Does that mean I wasn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanGibson Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think I might have been trendy in the 1980's Yes but did you get an e-mail telling you so!! No… Does that mean I wasn't? Not necessarily. It may just be that you didn't have an email account. I'm still awaiting the email I'm owed telling me I was trendy in 1973! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Holt Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 This thread seems to be missing the actual data: Just what is the CTR value that Alamy reckon is in the top 10%? If this isn't stated or clear, what's your best CTR is the past few months perhaps? (Purely on a need to know basis ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 This thread seems to be missing the actual data: Just what is the CTR value that Alamy reckon is in the top 10%? If this isn't stated or clear, what's your best CTR is the past few months perhaps? (Purely on a need to know basis ) When I got the email on Monday my CTR for the rolling month in the Pseudonym Summary screen had jumped to 2.54 from 2.24 after two zooms were recorded that morning.

JohnB Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm sure Alamy do these things to make me feel bad. "Hey John's stats don't look too good at the moment - let's tell everyone else how well they're doing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I wouldn't worry JohnB. I trended and that's my first licence of the month just appeared. It won't make me rich either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Shoot. Until I read all of the above, I was pretty happy that my .67 was better than alamy average. My top performing is 2.86. I didn't get no stinkin' email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
