Title: rating and number of votes showing in poll results
Post by: leaf on March 16, 2016, 06:09
If you mouse over the sites on the right site, you can now see the number of votes used to count the numbers and their rating (for the sites that don't show it).

A site needs 50 or more votes before it shows on the top area (to make a decent average).

If you haven't voted in the monthly poll recently, you can do so here

How are people filling this in when February PP sales from IS are still not in?

Amazing Stocksy numbers.........when everybody raced to the bottom somebody showed that another way was possible. Congratulation for achieving this in such a short time.

For myself, I always just use the amount earned during the month, regardless of which month the downloads occurred - so my February amount is based on PP, GI and Subs from January + credit sales in February.

I find it easier that way - otherwise I'd have to wait until the end of the month before I could submit, and it would only be visible a few days.

@Leaf - is it possible to display the numbers of Exclusives submitting too?

Thanks Leaf. Nice to see the Stocksy numbers too.

Does iStock's total include exclusives? It would be interesting to know just how many exclusives are left.  ;D

Thanks, Leaf.

On a clarification note:
I understood previously that if I put in a total for my Alamy RM sales, my iStock entry would move to iStock indie, not exclusive where it should be  (for RF). Is that currently the case?
If not, would it be possible to make that scenario work? (I know I'm not the only one!). IIRC, previously you said that would be a lot of convoluted work, though, and it's not something I have the knowledge to be able to help with.

Yeah, if you vote on more than one site, the system will see you as non-exclusive unfortunately.  There isn't an easy way around this.. and for the purpose of this simple poll I'm not sure it's worth coding it in.

Same here.  I just vote how much money I made on each site in a given month and disregard which month it was actually downloaded.

However, when you click on those links, it goes to a wiki page instead of the agency website. Some bug?

Would it be possible to split iStock to iS (indie) and iS (exclusive) and people could vote accordingly? Only if that would be simple to do; but I'm wondering if it might be just liike adding a new agency.
