Title: Sudden massive pile on of views on P5
Post by: Pacesetter on January 18, 2021, 01:50

Anyone else have a sudden surge of views on Pond5?

I usually get between 2 and 9 views a day, occasionally going into the teens which is often accompanied by a sale. In this case, I had a massive number of views over a period of a couple of days with one day being 110 views and then the following day 341 views (see attachment). Then the days thereafter - nothing, no sales and views dropped back to normal numbers. Really strange!

I saw an equivalent rise on my views on January 15 & 16.
If I am not mistaken, they report sales a couple of days later, to avoid refunds.
Since it's Monday and I have no sales reported, maybe it was just another promo campain like they did some months ago?

Just a guess:
They sent emails with a promo:
 50% for photos.
MAYBE most got it around that date and just check if there are photos which they might buy, but at least they didn´t in the most of time?
BTW: The promo is until 26th this January.

Seeing the spike too, with a sharp peak on January 17th, no sales so far. 
Good to see that they are (finally?) starting to promote their image library.
I just hope we get to keep the option to set our own pricing.

looking at the stats for the last year it shows many spikes and valleys - the recent spike is slightly higher but not unusual

Just found this in my stats today (see image)

After seeing this i checked the views of my individual videos and photos and those more than 3000 views do not appear in the individual numbers.

Yeah I just had a spike two days ago of views and not one sale, in fact no sales at all this month, the last month without a sale was January. Dead useless crapola.

Right and we never get paid for views.
