Duncan_Andison Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Anyone else noticed an increase of images being searched by the reference number without being zoomed? If this is due to the increase in size of the images while "mouse over", this could also be happening a lot for other searches and possibly impacting on CTR rate. As it stands my main Pseud is still on 1.04 but are we missing out on rank juice due to a change in the way buyers look for images?!?! Or, has Alamy monitored / factored this in already perhaps? Anyway, just thinking aloud and wondered if others had spotted a similar pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWheal Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If that is a general trend then it would affect everyone in a similar manner so relatively against others it should not make a difference Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Todd Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think the searchers could be looking at them on a lightbox. It's a positive sign IMO that they are searching on the ref number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyAppleRed Images Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The last few I have had searched by reference have all been zoomed, including one today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan_Andison Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 This month I've had a mixture, split 70% zoomed and 30% not zoomed. As Kevin said, it's unlikely to impact on ranking as it will / should be happening to everyone else as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 My zooms have recently dropped off completely over the last two months. I know I don't have that many images on board but am adding regularly and still nothing. Something has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 My zooms are significantly up over the last 4 months. The Alamy average CTR is 48 for the last month and for the last year suggesting that there has been no change overall. I seem to recall that before mouse over the average CTR was over 60 so this did have an impact at the time. I suspect that as individuals we are too small a sample to identify trends. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
