Isn't it another good reason to love Adobe?

We are all wondering where our money suddenly came from.

While in Shutter forum we have been wondering where our money suddenly went.

Yes, two weeks and nothing. Although the images are there - in my catalog manager. Even my portfolio on the live site shows that the collections have images in them. But when I open the actual collection - none of those images is shown.

Maybe they have not had this situation before that contributors have opted out and then back in. So the software  actually does not have this scenario 

As it has transformed into a wider discussion on UI and the usage of keywords - if we had simple statistics next to all the images, how many times our image has been viewed in the search results, it would give valuable feedback, whether certain images have not been found or have just not been chosen. This way people would know, whether it is the quality of the photo or the keywords that need to be improved.

So any time a logged-in client makes a search, all the photos in the pages he opens receive a new view in the counter.

When a contributor checks out the statistics of the unsuccessful images, he at least has the statistics on where the problem was. If an image has been viewed many times but never bought - it is clear that the problem is in the photo quality or irrelevant keywords. But if an image has never been viewed, the photo is either on a non popular topic or does not have the keywords people look for.
