Default Have you tried AlamyMeasures?

Have you tried AlamyMeasures?

I haven't uploaded a lot to Alamy but since a couple of images passed QC again, I logged in and discovered the new feature.

My two images haven't got any views. I am not surprised because I had only submitted two. However, I wonder if the beta version is functioning for you. Have a great day!

I saw this the other day, but didn't look at the whole thing. Click on your psuedonym name and it shows all the search terms used to bring up your images. Very helpful!!!

I was surprised to see the keywords most searched that brought up my images. I think it is very very helpful for defining your areas of specialization. It also will let me avoid waisting time uploading images with little or no demand in searches.

I did try on mine, and it did not come out with anything. It should mean I have had zero views in one month. Not too bad. :-)

I think they've just based the beta version on somestats they've grabbed from a while back, I've got some psuedonym's that I created a couple of months back and they aren't showing up in my Measures yet, plus some of my sales from last month don't show up on my CTR.

I think once it's running properly it will be a fantastic tool, shame others sites don't do the same.

I hope you are right, it is a bit depressing having to take super quality photos, having to wait weeks for QC, and then get to know you (I) have zero views... :-(

LOL, can we do a test? I have a couple of images with the keyword "badlands". Wonder if anyone cares to search the keyword to see if my images will come up?

What I liked is that images with certain keywords (the most unexpected ones!) were the ones with more searches and more clicks. Other supposedly good images had a lot less... So it gives me an idea of where to focus my efforts since I have lots of images of the most clicked that I didn´t think would be of interest and now it seems that they could be my best sellers (at least potentially). Great tool that I wish was more widespread.
