IDP Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 For those who are interested, there appears to have been a re-rank over the weekend. Ian D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yes, there has been a re-rank. I've gone down from top of page 2 to middle of page 3 (position 222). John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You are right, but hey-ho, it seems to have made absolutely no significant difference to my placement. Onwards and, er...very slightly upwards, possibly, I think. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyAppleRed Images Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 2 psuedos up one page, 6 to 5. Other two static. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Not much change except my main pseudo has moved from p2 back to p1 which is a nice surprise as I had expected a move in the opposite direction. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Convery Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Not much change for me, still near the top just ahead of Keith Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armstrong Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If people are judging this by BHZ then I'm not sure if there is much point this time. If you search BHZ and view by added by last month...you will see that there are hundreds of images with BHZ added by one contributor in the last month. If the idea is one BHZ per contributor that will really affect how the results fall. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversight in applying a metadata preset somewhere? Malicious messing to put we self-acknowledged nerds off the BHZ game? Who can tell except the perpetrator? As it happens it matters only a little at the moment as nearly all the 215 images from the one contributor are in the last few pages of the BHZ search, so most people are unaffected. If by some miracle they all improved their position, it then might skew results in future re-ranks. Oops - Pearl thinks and types faster than me...

Doc Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Up from top of p3 to a third of the way down p2 (120 images/page) . My highest position ever. Good Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Main pseudo from top of page 1 to top of page 3 ???????????? Second Pseudo up 2 positions on page 1 Third pseudo also to page 3. All my stats and indicators are pointing in the opposite direction: My number one and number three pseudo have most sales per image per view per zoom and highest CTR of those three pseudos. Any thoughts? wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 As it happens it matters only a little at the moment as nearly all the 215 images from the one contributor are in the last few pages of the BHZ search AFAICT, the first image (EJGK25) is in position 16 on page 8 (120 images per page, RF turned off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokie Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If I use 120 images per page i'm still on page 2 (although near the bottom), but if I use 90 images per page i'm on page 3 (near the middle). Still in position 222 which ever way I use, but down from position 124. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's because some of them are sourced from free sites? Pixabay, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin P Wilson Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Rerank or not, my ranking is as dire as ever. I can see no way of getting back to where I was a few years ago even though I have been putting in more effort and thought. Funkyworms image sums up my circumstances. Do I stick with it (zero returns), give up (zero returns) or start afresh with a new account (glimmer of hope?)? I had hoped that after a rerank I might have seen some light at the end of the tunnel, I think the tunnel caved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 This re-rank is a strange one. My three psuedos have hardly moved at all. Never seen that before. Same pages except for my top psuedo going from bottom of pg 2 to top of pg 3. If it was just me, I'd be wondering if the slight change is due to added BHZ contributors (some of which don't understand the concept) or a real re-rank.
