Getting view/downloads on only 1 video out of 100?

Hi all, I've had a small portfolio up for a couple years now. Out of 100 or so videos, only 1 has been viewed decently (181 times), and downloaded alright. The rest of my footage is all under 10 views?!
This one here, https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/54754191/aerial-flythrough-beautiful-lake-and-mountains.html

None of my other videos have more than a few views at all, any idea as to why this is happening? I believe my footage is decent enough and there are better videos in my portfolio with the exact same description and keywords. But all other footage is not even being seen... Any ideas how to get more out of the rest of my footage?

Thanks!

Don't rely on the views as an indication of real views. Many of us have made sales with zero views.

With a few over 100 clips and you are competing with 7 million other clips here and tens of millions more at all agencies ... having one sale isn't bad. Some of the clips IMHO have a lower chance of selling like the smoke 2013 animations. The water splash with the view is cool but a very narrow end user opportunity. The rest are not bad but no exceptional compared to hundreds of thousands of similar ones.

So my recommendation. Keep working on improving quality like I do everyday. Then you need to work on quantity. If you get a few thousands and sales are rare then that might not be expected. Good luck.
