Title: Views/DLs

What is your ratio between these two data: Vs/DLs

I think that is one of the best measure to compare  our portfolios....

Mine:

FT:74 (1 month before about 100)
IS:137

FT 2007 : 11 (still uploading)
FT 2008 : 25 (no uploads)

although I'm not sure if this says anything.  Maybe it tells how well your keywording is.

Wow guys!

That is quality!

I think that keywording this time is not so vital, especially after the web sites for it!

I think conversion rate (DL/Views) is a great measure of the quality of an image. I tend to think about conversion rate as Downloads over Views but it's measuring the same thing. I looked at supply & conversion analysis on dreamstime for emotions (happy/sad/angry etc) on DT and thought the results were pretty interesting.

views/buys is pretty much a worthless stat -- some pix sell many w few views, others get hundreds of views w no sales - the distrbution is so broad that there's little correlation
