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.    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.
