Title: update me on your StockXpert
Post by: tan510jomast on May 06, 2009, 05:59
 some of you mentioned this early last month that our new images are getting 0 views. it didn't affect me or so it seems, but now it is apparent.
i was wondering with what came up at IS, if this has anything to do with Photo.com
and it certainly could be that buyers have moved from StockXpert to there :
here's my sales results from april:
StockXpert ppd  3 - sub 2
photo.com ppd 1 - sub 4
jui  6

versus may:      JUI sub 1

The no views started in January for me.. overnight.
Currently after one week regular views back to no views.  Batches approved take more then 3 days to appear in my portfolio and in searches.  Batch approved this morning still not visible.
This has nothing to do with Istock.. has everything to do with them playing with the algorithms and favoring some contributors.

what about your sales on Photo.com? my point is perharps, if our views are 0 for StockXpert, but there are sales on Photo.com, then it could be that buyers have shifted their search there. which isn't bad, as long as the sales are still coming in.
for april it was balanced , but may i only have one from Jupiter. It may be too soon but just wondering .
