Hi
I'm a newbie here on the forum but I have been on a few sites for about 6 months (small portfolios). the other day I added FP and I've received an encouraaging rate of views, although no downloads. Am I deluding myself or is FP on the way up?
Regards
Ken

look at your right at Microstock Poll Results

FP has always been a very slow site. It had some sales lately which look like they still breathe. :D In any case, their HTML tools are good for marketing in your own website or through email, which is a plus.

I think the FP views might get triggered by google or other webcrawlers. In any case they don't seem to link very closely with sales. I have had 0 sales there and months that they were ahead of Bigstock. I had 2 ELs there in the last 3 or 4 months that make a huge difference in the total. They are nowhere near as steady as the top 7 or so I'd guess. the 50% is nice though, especially on the ELs. Also upload is easy so I usually just send everything there once a month or so. The Els were out of the blue though and I hope it is a trend and not a flash in the pan.

I'm new with a small, mediocre portfolio and have noticed the same thing.
Some sites few views 0 sales, understandable
Some (FT, DT, 123) quite a few views and the odd sale.
FP loads of views but 0 sales ???

Views???!!!
C'mon. FP is in the LOW EARNERS group. That means LOW MONEY. Who cares about views?
In my 6 years in this business I've learned through much gnashing of teeth that the right side of this page, the big 4 and the next 4 are the only ones worth the time. I won't begrudge anyone else the opportunity to waste their time on them but I certainly learned my lesson.
