Keith Douglas Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Almost every day in my Alamy Measures I see 6 to 8 seperate searches on 'corfe castle'. 90 views on each (a default page), no zooms on anything. It's not good for my CTR! Anybody else experiencing this with that or other search terms? Any idea what is going on? Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then this is why: http://bit.ly/1L2a5Do If not do you have the word Castle as a single word in any of your keywords? The search engine will also return results for Castle as well as Corfe castle. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Douglas Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks Michael. The search term being input (according to Alamy Measures) is corfe castle. It is correct that my images should be found given that search term. What I was querying was why, day after day, someone is searching for 'corfe castle' 6 to 8 times, each time viewing one page of results and never zooming on anything - my images or anybody else's. Or maybe there's multiple people doing the same popular search but never getting past page 1 of the results. It just seems strange. See below for screen capture of part of the search results over a month. https://flic.kr/p/wgeimv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Odd. I only see 2 searches in the last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSnapper Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 There have been 19 searches for Corfe Castle in the past 12 months, plus another 10 or so which include Corfe Castle in a phrase... km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Keith - might be worth having a word with MS about your problem, which seems peculiar. That screenshot is of concern since as KM says there have only been 19 searches in total for Corfe Castle over the past year, and they have been pretty evenly spaced throughout the past year There may be a bug in the system, and its not doing your CTR any good, as you say!
