Title: Dreamstime downloads
Post by: fritz on October 06, 2010, 16:02
Today one of my pictures had 24 downloads within 1 hour same credits same price.
After that silence.
Is it normal? Seems to me strange.
Any explanation.

Probably a buyer that doesn't know what they are doing and kept trying to download the image and not realizing that they were succeeding each time.  You will probably only get paid for one dl.

Weird!  I haven't had that.  I have the opposite problem - sales ground to a halt yesterday and can't figure out why?!

On the contrary, Dreamstime is on the way to a BME for me, downloads wise. Also the RPD is up. Maybe they changed something to the search engine and if they did - PLEASE KEEP THIS CHANGE!!

Me thinks it's all voodoo. It depends on the right buyer and your subjects. DT keeps going well although mostly subs the past weel, but Fotolia and BS stopped almost totally for me in October. SS keeps selling happily, as usual. No worries.
