Title: New Website Layout
Post by: astrocady on May 20, 2009, 16:36

I just made my evening rounds of my micro sites to see if I made enough today to have a beer, and I noticed that YAY has redesigned their website.  Didn't spend a lot of time checking it out, but it seemed a little confusing to me -- at least in trying to get to the "my account" page.

Hint: click on your username at the top of the page.

Anyway, I see that they are now listing views and downloads on the "my portfolio" page.  WOW!!! If those views are for the entire year I've had pix up there, it's no wonder I haven't sold anything.  Hardly any views at all.  I think I've sold more pictures on most other sites than I"ve had views on YAY  :o

Perhaps those views are just from today since they turned on the new site???

I am not bothered about views but I was pleased to see the 37 euros they added to my account for sales on a distribution site.  Didn't think I would reach a payout there before losing patience but I have been pleasantly surprised.

yeah, lets hope those are a new tally :)

I am also looking forward to when they update the year to 2009 on the sales statistics page.  It still says 2008 for me.  it is reporting new 2009 sales, but says 2008 in the year picker.
edit -> scratch that, it looks like they fixed it since last time i looked.

Is there a way to sort by views or download?

Oooops.  Sorry, oboy.  I was aiming that at Astrocady who had said he was reviewing his daily sales when he came across the changes ... he had said he wanted to know if he had enough for a beer. 

It's not nearly as funny as I thought it would be.  LOL

Sorry oboy I was just joking as you asked to view by download!

I know the 'views' was a popular request on their forum but it was always going to be bad. Their time would I think be better spent on marketing.

I guess they just started to count views and downloads. Maybe that's why there are so many zeros

There are several now who have third party sales, 49 euros or more.
Beginning to look interesting.
