Title: Do comments help in search...
Post by: vonkara on July 01, 2008, 09:33
I asked myself if comments made on Dreamstime was helping the overall search results. Then I remember I was having one already made by maybe a buyer during the time DT was asking the designers to left a comment after purchase.

It's this one (http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_191/1191257374KzJ5I2.jpg)

It's have never sold elsewhere If I remember correctly and it's my 4th image whit the most views and also have 4 downloads.

I think that comments have at least a small influence on the DT search.

Maybe we can do an experiment like on StockXpert? What do you think?

I don't believe that comments have anything to do with the search in DT.  There is no way for the system to know if the comment was positive or negative or as is often the case a message totally unrelated to the image.  If somebody wants to contact you for any reason on DT the normal way to do it is to leave a message on a random image.

Yes, agree. Maybe it was just coincidence, but it's surprised me to have this image up in the total views after sorting my port

It's a very nicely done image with a lot of potential, so why are you surprised? :)

Maybe, but I was only surprised because it's has never sold elsewhere
