Title: Shutterstock Questions
Post by: marcbkk on April 20, 2009, 20:38

I have a couple more questions on ST please:

1 - Is the 25-A-Day reconciliation info under Download Stats on the ST site an all time running total of the number of downloads since day 1 or is it done on a monthly basis?

2 - I head heard that subscription buyers often peruse the most recently uploaded images on SS and buy from there. But I went to the photo buyers end of the site and didn't see a way to search for the most recently uploaded pictures. So how are the buyers able to search for new pictures in this way I am wondering.

Many thanks...

1. It is an all time statistics per image. Monthly and per day statistics is also available in the "By Month" tab.

2. When searching, there is a "View" box on the right side where one can search for "Newest First" or "Most Popular" images. They also have "Oldest First" and "Random" order setting.

I hope this helps.

Thanks. That is good info.

On the search you are talking about you still have to enter a keyword or category. You can't simply search the latest photos. Understood though.

Thanks again.

You can browse images by category, if you clikc on one of the categories on the left side of the search page. Again, they can be ordered as newest first or most popular.
