Adobe Stock / Re: Popularity?!

« on: June 25, 2008, 12:30 »

I guess the ratio Number of sales / Number of downloads is relevant in their ranking. Some popular picture is one that is sold often when viewed. It seems also combined with date of entry and number of sales since that date.

As any aggregate indicator, this popularity rating is imperfect : it simplifies a multi-criteria, complex system down to a single variable ranking.

Question is : among other tools, does it help customers looking for pictures?. I feel it does, in most cases

Adobe Stock / Re: sales on FT since search engine change?

« on: May 16, 2008, 14:32 »

As far as I am concerned, the 2 past weeks were awful but that's typical in Europe (and especially in France) at this time. Very clear and sudden drop. Sales started again only on Wed (3 sales per day on average -I'm starting). My 7-day rank went down from 900 to 2000+ as I guess I am worse off being exposed to the French market. I don't think the search engine change has any impact on my sales.

I hope you guys see sales peaking up too by now!

Regarding search engine, did u notice that the sort by number of views is now gone (you can only sort by price, sales, relevance, date). Did I dream or was there also "Views" before ?

In a way, I find it fair. It used to boost pictures that were already on FT for a very long time.

Adobe Stock / Re: bold keywords?

« on: April 24, 2008, 17:06 »

(first post here brrrrrr)

To my knowlegde, in a tag cloud, the font and boldness of words are chosen according to their rank in the cloud. Some tags clouds even use colors. It works with a simple hierachy like :
16 not bold
15 bold
15 not bold
14 bold
etc...
so this means bold here just means ... nothing special. It's just combined size+boldness you want to pay attention to. For instance, the first keyword is always on the biggest font (though not bold)

Hope this helps (and that I'm right)
