Can anyone point me in the right direction for info on using PicNiche, especially how to interpret the results from the 'Keyword Phrase' analyser ??

Phrase L T Count Views Sales V/F D/F Rating

What does all this mean !? $:-\$

eyeCatchLight · « **Reply #1 on:** January 20, 2010, 10:36 »

also, what is the number next to the FT, SS, etc.? I initially thought of it as the total number of downloads, but it doesn't correspond.
PicNiche is great!!

what numbers ?

Phrase L T Count Views Sales V/F D/F Rating
boat GB 1.00 94037 142881 21858 1.52 0.23 0.35
FT SS IS BS DT- GI

That's what I'm seeing (roughly), no numers next to FT,SS etc.. ??

i mean in the picNiche bar, from left to right, there is the refresh button, then that number, then FT earnings, then SS earnings, IS earnings, and so on.

I thought that might be total earnings !? Mine is a very small number !

but seems to be roughly the total of all the others ??

you're so clever, that's really it!

I thought it was the number of downloads....

I think L=country, V/F=views/photo, D/F=downloads/photo. It seems to be derived from another language, could be German.
I don't know for T and how the Rating is calculated. I think it gives a measure for how effective a keyword is or so....

Actually the guy who made this is a microstockgroup member, I think you could just PM him (and tell me then

)

This is the explanation of the graph.

That's pretty much it

L = Language (GB = British English, US = American English, FR = French etc

T = Typability (if it's a long phrase it's less 'typable')
V/F = Views per File (as it counts both vectors and photos), this is effectively the search-visibility rating
D/F = Downloads per File, this is the 'conversion' rating.
The final rating is a product of the visibility and conversion.

And yep, the number to the left (on the refresh button) on the toolbar is the total sales for all tracked sites.

Hope that helps, sorry about the delay, found this whilst googling

Thanks for that Bob !

Had worked out most of it, but you've just expounded on what I knew. Couldn't find any help for this anywhere !?

Just as an aside, had problems with PicNiche yesterday and when I removed an add-on for screen splitting, I suddenly got several notifications ! I also happen to know it interferes with the iSyndica add-on too !

The descriptions popup on mouseover of the field header

I'm a big fan of mouseovers, if there's anything in picNiche which isn't obvious, try holding your mouse over it

It 'should not' interfere with any other addons as it's all namespaced well, but will definetly investigate.
Which screen splitting addon was it, was it Split Browser?
I don't run the isyndica addon myself, but will give it a go and try to find what might be causing the problem.

Well so they do ! Silly me for missing that

The app is Split Browser 0.6.2009110501 : I wasn't using it so I disabled it, and up popped 5/6 notifications from the previous day. The iSyndica app shows total sales in the status bar (bottom right) where your P is. I got Seb at iSyndica to modify his app due to not showing the totals, then we found it only stops if PicNiche is running. He said u have used that area incorrectly !!

(not getting into that argument

bobbigmac · « **Reply #15 on:** February 06, 2010, 09:23 »

Thanks Stu

I've found the problem with picNiche and iSyndica addons interfering with each other (which one breaks depends on which loads first).
I'll say for the record that their addon needs to be namespaced (as it's probably causing problems with a lot of addons). I've made Hugo aware of this as I don't have Seb's details, and they will probably fix in the next version too.

I will however modify the picNiche toolbars in the next version to workaround the problems (should be online sometime monday/tuesday, I will post a link here soon as it is

Still trying to identify the problem with Split Browser, but will sort that this weekend too

Thanks very much for the info

New version updated to fix the problems you mentioned.
Thanks very much for the info

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/11474#version-1.1

I've also put a quick post up about this version as it now allows you to make your own toolbar buttons.

Great update Bob. Thanks for the hard work...

tamasvargyasi · « **Reply #19 on:** February 10, 2010, 09:48 »

Thank you, just to let you know at the Veer, it`s still showing the amount that I already got paid, it is not deducted, or it has to???

bobbigmac · « **Reply #20 on:** February 10, 2010, 09:59 »

Aye, the samples I've put up are not exhaustive, as I've only been on Veer a month or so (Yay for two years but still no sales

)
I haven't made enough sales for payout for example so can't create pollers as solid as the 'authneticated' pollers.
That's why I've opened it up to this model where anyone can create their own and share them, or if you know people at the agencies, ask them to create one

Excellent !! Alamy working fine and just built my own for DepositPhotos ! But where do I find info, like 'favicon' and such, on these sites ?? You'll have to do an intensive blog !?

You've obviously got lots of spare time !

bobbigmac · « **Reply #22 on:** February 10, 2010, 10:34 »

I've been toying with the idea of making a few screencasts about the picNiche stuff, and creating a poller would be a great subject. Sadly I don't have the time to do them yet (at least not to do them well)

I'm hoping someone will jump in and make a detailed post or blog entry about it once it's established a bit, in the meantime I will have to wait and see what you guys and gals can come up with

Well if I could find the damned info on DP, I'd fill in the rest of the poller info and share it !!

I would also create a few more ! Keeps me out of mischief !!

Maybe u could pm me some more info or a link !?

http://depositphotos.com/favicon.ico
favicons are almost always domain.com/favicon.ico or .png or .gif

For everything else, there's "View Source"
Usually "View"/"Page Source" in firefox, ir CTRL-U

All you need after that is to choose a login page, an open page, and the tricky bit: write the regex
