Title: What are those numbers...?
Post by: gemmy12 on November 22, 2011, 22:36
Hello there,
 I want to know that in Microstock Poll Results what are the 2 numbers mentioned side to each site name ... one is in bold (left to arrow) and other in few points (right to arrow)
I was trying to guess from the day i joined this site but i think its better to ask people about that.. it may be helpful to incrrease the sell in respective microstock sites :-)
Thank you, :)

Shutterstock now looks like this
Shutterstock 6.6 (http://www.microstockgroup.com/images/arrowup.gif) .23

The 6.6 is the rating which just means the average of everone's vote in the microstock poll (http://www.microstockgroup.com/pollsvote/) is a 6.6.  It is a simple average where everyone's votes are equally weighted.

.23 is the change from last month and the arrow is the direction it changed.  so last month Shutterstock must of had a 6.37 rating and it has gome up .23 points.

It's not a vote on which agency each person likes, it's a vote on how much they earned at each agency that month.

Sorry, I thought you'd misunderstood when you said "most of the people like SS".  I guess you were talking about buyers, not contributors.  Glad it's all clear anyway  ;D
