I kind of agree with you.  With 200 or so images and one or 2 visits a day this is one of those sites you don't want to check every day . . . . .  I'll drop in once a month and wait to be surprised.

I'm coming a bit late to this thread but I like FAA a lot. I've with them since 2010 with over 500 images online.
I make a very good payout every month with very little effort...it's a great additional income at the end of the month and would recommend it to anyone! :)

I'm sure I'll be more keen when I do get a sale.  Not sure much of my stuff is arty enough and I need to work on that.

OK, I'm still at the stage when I check to see if I've had any visitors. I noticed a suprising number of my fairly slow flow of visitors came from Washington DC. No 'followers', and not following in a gallery or by order of upload or any obvious pattern, then I noticed the times, e.g.:

Other than a timed bot making random finds (? I just made that up just now), is there an even simpler explanation? Anyone else see the same?

I'm seeing the same thing. Here's FAA's explanation:

Further back in this thread it says that the link is broken and if you want to be on amazon you need to contact them to do it manually, maybe once a month.

Contact FAA or Amazon?

According to the FAA link on bots rimglow provided, you can contact support to have the bot visits not show up under visitors.  I think I'll do that, as it is a huge chunk of my visits.

Oh, right. I wonder why they're not 'off' by default?

That 'bot in DC really likes my photos but hasn't bought anything.  I wish I knew what sort of subjects appeal to 'bots. Maybe shots of big server farms?  Or sleek, high end new laptops? 

BTW I doubt it's actually in DC - I don't think the locations are remotely accurate.  On the FAA forum, several people have asked for the ability to add Statcounter to their pages - no response from FAA.

Regarding amazon.com showing my FAA portfolio, I contacted support this morning and within an hour I got an answer back that the port had been included (it's a manual process and you have to request it) and that it could take 4-5 hours to show up.

I just checked and it does - I search for my name and Fine Art America. Who knows if any sales will result (it's canvas prints only) but can't hurt

I emailed support and got this reply:

"Most of the bots are filtered out. However they are always changing their IPs so it is not really possible to keep them filtered all the time"

So, we're stuck with all those views from Washington DC.
