Ooooops! I make something wrong with my first thread. So I got two post on the same subject. Please excuse me.
I try to delete one of the posts but didn´t make it.  Cry

As a newbie it´s very important to me to check how many views I got on different pictures.  

This is my prefered agencys,     Visco images    easy to check, a few views
                                               123RF             can´t see any views at all   Huh
                                               Bigstock          I have to click on each image to check the views - very time consuming  Angry
                                               Fotolia            easy to check, some more views
                                               Dreamstime    easy to check, some more views and two sales!  Grin
                                               Can Stock       easy to check, only one views on each images

As I am only 2 months old in this "business" it´s extremely important to me to be able to see how many views I have.

123RF is my big problem - how to see views?
Bigstock the second - because of their time consuming construction.

Happy for all responses. This microstockgroup is a very supportive community.

Hi,

I am not sure you can do that, still, you can check your downloads for your images, pressing "more" button in the write bottom of the page, then "download stats of your images".

Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember I never was able to see my views for my images on 123rf.

I would say that you should stop paying any attention to views and focus on sales and uploading.

Some images get viewed because it isn't immediately obvious from the thumb what the image is, and some because they have a huge emotional draw. In either case, it just doesn't matter if you're focused on producing images that buyers want to purchase. There are other places to upload your work if you're solely interested in who likes what.

Thanks for your responses. It gave me a different view and learned me something about how it works on the microstock sites.  Cheesy

scarlet - I'm with you on this. 

For me it's important as a beginner, because if I see that my port has had ZERO views in a 2 weeks - something is wrong and I can follow that up.  This would apply especially if you're new, because you upload your files and need to see if anyone was looking at them.  For example, I have one site that has had 0 views in a month - and I'm trying to research if this is a quantity-of-files issue, or I am uploading the wrong stuff there - without that info, how would I know interest, apart from sales?

Unless I'm not understanding this correctly, doesn't view mean that they clicked on it?  Why is that not a good indication of interest?

On the "123RF" thread I started my own question on how to see views there...

The first thing to check if you are not getting views is your key-wording. That is how customers find your pictures in the first place.

Funny that you mention 123RF and Views. I actually contacted them on them concern. They told me that they only show 'Sales' and that 'Views' really are not that important thus they don't keep track of them. The bigger question - do 'Views' = 'Sales'. IMO Yes and No. The views do show interest which tells me that I am getting on target. If you get a lot of views your thumbnail must be luring them which is the first part of a sale.
