Author Topic: YAY, no view(s) … no download(s) (Read 7322 times)

I have 416 photos in my portfolio on YAY.

I rarely visit the site, as I know that it is a very low seller.
But this morning I had the surprise to see that after 6 months the number of view is always 0 (zero) for each photo (and of course no download)

Is it normal for this site?
Did I missed something?
Does it have sense to continue to upload there?

I get sales there every month, not usually for a lot of money but they occasionally have a good month. I think they're worth using but you might need 1,000 images to start seeing regular sales.

Will you still think that when you start to see the 0.13-0.15 euro sales from their images packages?

I don't want to speak about sales.
If people don't want to buy my photos it is okay for me (better if they buy of course).
But there the problem is that all my photos have 0 (zero) views. That means that there is absolutely no exposition of my portfolio on the site.

My last sale has 0 views, don't think you should care about views on yay.

Yes, I think that views are not counted for sales through partner sites that’s why even 0 views images can have sales.
But it is just my guess.

Sales is poor becos most ppl go there and download photo and drawings for FREE!
Click the zoom button and you can get a 300dpi A4 size photo for free.

An amateur photoshop user can easily remove the watermark if the photo is on a Fully white isolate background.
Dun believe, try it on any isolated images!

I have over 3000 in my YAY portfolio, same content as the other agencies and uploaded till june this year. After a couple of 15 eurocent sales from imageclick in March (!) nothing happened. I stopped uploading because of their weird rejections ( files that did very well at the other agencies). The latest files that were accepted still have no views.

After reading the other posts I think they hardly have any traffic so I leave it like that for a while and see what happens.
