Title: Algorithm change....?
Post by: hatman12 on July 10, 2007, 11:30

There are one or two peeps on the SS forum saying they've noticed a slight change to the 'most popular' algorithm, with new files appearing lower down the popularity list.

Apparently this has only happened in the last day or two.  I must say I've been a little surprised that my newly approved images didn't quite hit the road running over the last day or two as they usually do, but on the other hand July 4th area is a very slow time of year.

Anyone noticed anything?

Normal pattern of sales for me at SS, my new uploads have been selling much the same as normal.

Last week was definately quieter than usual, presumably due to 4th July, but sales have bounced back again today, (incl. pics approved last night).

I haven't noticed anything unusual... other than a rather gigantic 30%+ sales dip beginning around the start of June.
