Ok, a new little toy

If you go to your profile page.
http://www.microstockgroup.com/profile/

You will see something called MicrostockGroup Ranking. It will hopefully encourage us to upload better and faster

... if we want a little motivation - or at least give us an idea of how we are doing. It is simply how your upload count and sales compares to the other members on MicrostockGroup. The ranking only includes those members who have entered their iStock and Dreamstime information into their Forum Profile Information.

So for example, if it says
Dreamstime
Sales 100/525
Uploads 123/525

That means that 99 people (out of 525 people) have more sales than you on Dreamstime, and 122 people (out of 525) have more uploads than you.

If it says N/a that means you haven't entered your user information in the Forum Profile Information area

Once you have entered your information, you will also be included in the ranking list
Dreamstime Ranking
iStock Ranking

I don't understand what the numbers mean - I'm sorry if I'm being dense.

xx/yy for both uploads and downloads. 31/442 is what mine says for uploads. I don't recognize either of those numbers

It looks like you're in 31st place out of 442 members.

MicrostockGroup Ranking
Dreamstime
Sales 108 / 386
Uploads 35 / 386

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #3 on:** November 20, 2009, 10:59 »

Ahh, thanks.

As Yuri's a member, I'm guessing he's 1/442

thanks, I made the first post a little clearer now.

@jsnover
yeah, Yuri would be, but he hasn't entered his user info. Right now Sean is in first place for iStock. I haven't check who has first place for Dreamstime.

etienjones · « **Reply #5 on:** November 20, 2009, 11:41 »

Thanks leaf for the insight. I am surprised though that I am not last in the rankings.

Microbius · « **Reply #6 on:** November 23, 2009, 06:38 »

wow that's fantastic! the best thing about it is how easy it is now to compare how well your images are performing. If sales position is higher than upload position (irrespective of absolute rank) then you know you are doing something right!

leaf · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2009, 06:56 »

Yeah that is right Microbius. It could also have to do with the length of time you have been on Dreamstime. However your sales to uploads position is very good so I would have to think it is more than just time online. I on the other hand am doing better on uploads than sales - in addition to being online for quite a while giving me lots of chance to get downloads. What that means: I have too much crap in my portfolio!

leolintang · « **Reply #8 on:** November 23, 2009, 12:10 »

good to know that im not the bottom rank

WarrenPrice · « **Reply #9 on:** November 23, 2009, 12:52 »

OUCH!! I'm being ignored. That hurts. Sorry to have offended someone.

Not a factor at DT, but not disappointed in the overall placement. Not looking to increase ... my upload/rejection ratio is too low to get much uploading done. Hope buyers will find the stuff that is there.

Neat new function, Leaf. Thanks.

Does it mean the 31st place among 100 or 1000 members as well?

cathyslife · « **Reply #11 on:** November 23, 2009, 14:52 »

Yay, I'm in the top 25% on both places.

look at your profile and it tells you out of how many people the ranking is.

Interesting:

MicrostockGroup Ranking
Dreamstime
Sales    263 / 390
Uploads    167 / 390
iStockPhoto
Sales    230 / 446
Uploads    235 / 446

I guess I better get cracking!

NitorPhoto · « **Reply #14 on:** November 24, 2009, 07:19 »

This is a great feature. Thanks!
My position looks pretty good on both sites. I am surprised.

Tim Markley · « **Reply #15 on:** November 24, 2009, 08:00 »

Interesting, I'm middle of the pack at istock which is higher than I would have thought. Dreamstime is about where I would expect it to be.

fotografer · « **Reply #16 on:** November 24, 2009, 08:15 »

Nice toy. My results tell me that I need to upload more.

I am proud to be surrounded by great company here on MSG

Dreamstime
Sales    298 / 392
Uploads    264 / 392

(301 image backlog to get up past their limits but will eventually get there)

iStockPhoto
Sales    382 / 449
Uploads    393 / 449

(500 image backlog since getting approved there at the end of April. With 15 per week and slow review times this is going to take some time. Thankfully SS is rocking for me right now)

Now back to uploading ...

Congratulations!

Dreamstime
Sales 340 / 392
Uploads 253 / 392

iStockPhoto
Sales 449 / 450
Uploads 369 / 450

See that? Sales at IStock?
Out of 450 people with IS info, I'm at position 449

I'm the last one, this is depressing

haha, yeah I bet lots of people are uploading this weekend. with the extra time off. I stopped uploading to Shutterstock so that my images don't get drowned

I'll continue again next week - although the reviewers will probably be a bit backlogged
