Post by: lobby on August 28, 2008, 19:07

I nice way (i think) to see how your (and mine) images like to customers

is how mutch (persent %) of views became sales

my hi score ... is 10%

averange about 20%

and for those how don't undestand i mean

if an images have 100 views and 10 sales = 10%

i find it intresting what do you think?

Well...  what's your best and averange?

All my normal sellers are 1/10 approximatively. I noticed that a couple month ago and most people seem to have this ratio also. It's like Istock was paying for each 10 views LOL

Same here. With Fotolia being the exception, sometimes as low as 4/1 ratio. Still trying to figure out what the deal is there. If I had to guess I would say people sometimes shop at higher priced sites and buy from fotolia. Can't prove it though.  :)

Fotolia's hoverover view works quite well, so I doubt many viewers actually click a photo - makes less views.

My best sellers tend to sell once per 7-8 views at iStock.  They have a great views to sales conversion rate.

Mine average about 10%. Best sellers are in the 10-20% range and a handful are 20%+.
