They have started to count the view's in 5's
So if a clip got 4 view's it still counts as 0
I don't know how often they update the count's

Aha, that's why some of my files have 0 views and 1 download.

Really? Where did you hear about this?

I have one photo there showing 3 views. But all other photos no views, even though sales.

I have no nothing at pond5. I have submitted over 200 photos but their template dont work on photos, support says they are working on it, I edited and submitted 20 photos manually and they are still not reviewed after one week. I am not going to edit the other 180 photos manually. The whole site is geared towards video and audio but for photography the site is an utter joke and the biggest mess I have come across so far. Even Fotolia is easier than them lot. I will see how sales will pan out once the photos are reviewed and then decide if I they are worth the headache.

Have actually seen worse processes (at least you do not have to manually select from 3 irrelevant categories here a well). Decided to delete the 123RF connection and submit directly. Have edited just over 500 and had the first batch approved (about 2 weeks) yesterday (just over 300 images). Still have 1000+ uploaded to edit, but just could not muster the energy yet.
Do not think the 20 will give you much of an idea about sales Poncke, but I will keep you posted on mine (saving you the trouble).  ;)
