Title: Has LO turned the views back on?
Post by: Cooper on December 07, 2007, 04:28
Does anyone know if LO has turned their view counter back on?

I'm kind of hoping they haven't, because if they have, I've only had about 3 views in the last week or so. 

I was getting hundreds a day at one stage there

They seem to be back on as far as I can tell.  I don't pay too much attention to them at LO.  I only get about 1 dl for 300 views.  Elsewhere (IS, FT, DT, BS) I average about 1 per 50.  I have been at LO for nearly a year - about twice as long as anywhere else - and that would explain some of it but I have to beleive they have a lot more contributers than buyers and the views are coming from commented photos and odditorium posts that are mostly frequented by contributors.

How are your sales?  Mine are horrible - 11 over the year and none in the last two months with about 188 photos.  Keep hearing that people are having good success but this seems only to come from those with an interest in the business (instigators, reviewers, forum moderators).  Most contriubutors - small ones especially without the priveleges of the Sideshow - don't seem to be doing much better than me.   fred

The views are working.  I have 19072 views and 104 downloads.  That is a download every 183 views with over 1600 images there.  I have no connections with the site.

What concerns me is that my sales peaked at the end of June and I haven't seen those levels since.  I hope that being in the side show will help so I will give it a few more months and see.

Sales are pretty poor. There was a flurry there for a while when I had about 8 in a two week period (September, I think).  Since then I've had 2 in over 2 months. 226 images online but I haven't uploaded in a while.  Doesn't really seem worth it at the moment
