Title: Why so many views?
Post by: Pixart on May 09, 2007, 00:09
I have a couple of school hallway pics.  They have a yellow tinge and a cluttered background and haven't even sold on DT. 

The least attractive of the 2 has had 888 views in about 3 months.  What's with that?  Could it be linked somewhere?  The one where she is smiling I like more, and it has had 127 view which is quite high.

I have one more view on my "Mating Ball of Garter Snakes" which is understandable with the keywords group, sex, mating, ritual, horror, etc.

My next highest views is 437 and it was the first one I submitted over a year ago.

Anyone know why so many views?  It's certainly not because it's a great photo, cuz it aint.  (If only it would download once every 50 views!)

Oops, this is the one that is a nicer thumbnail.   1/8th the views though.

maybe dudes checking out chicks. My stuff at DT all has about 1 sale per 10 - 12 views. The only time I had a large number of views was when a pic made it in the editor's picks and that resulted in 250 views ... but no sales.

I imagine it is due to some search results putting it fairly high up in a search, lots of people click on it, but end up not buying it.  I have one of a VW van that has lots of view but very few sales.

1 sale to every 250 views, and on the other image, 1 sale to every 3400 views  :o
