wiskerke Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Do you think a zoom or two or maybe a few will move a specific image up in rank? No idea. You could test that by looking at your zoomed images. Look for a zoomed image that has not been sold, but has a couple of zooms. Now look where it is for a couple of searches. My guess is that it's a chicken and egg thing: higher placed images get more zooms and get more sales. Another possibility is: more views = more sales. How to know whether it's zooms = sales or views = sales? No idea either. Except when each image has it's own pseudo. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Not sure about zooms, but in my experience a sale appears to do wonders for a particular image's rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 It sounds like you guys are saying that Alamy now ranks individual images. I didn't think that was the case - only pseudos are ranked. So my answer to Ed would be no. A few sales or zooms may move the pseudo warship a few degrees, but the ship would need a lot more nudging before there is a substantial change.

Ed Rooney Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Reimer, I can't say "I know" or even "I believe," but I will say I suspect that zooms play a part in our rank. I also suspect that sales, subjects, QC stars, regular adding of new images, the number and the health of pseudos, and a winning smile effect our rank.

Reimar Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Not sure about the winning smile, but I agree Ed. Alamy has told us that many of those things play a part in rank - of each pseudo, not individual images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 I have just one pseudo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
