Sales drop as views sky rocket ?!

Hello,
My name is Olivier Girardot, I am a composer and a sound designer. I used to have a steady pace in my sales on pond 5 until around end of May. Suddenly, my sales have considerably dropped. At the same time my views statistics are peaking unbelievably high, which doesn't make much sense to me.

I have read in other discussions that this same strange phenomenon happened to others and had been solved. But it doesn't seem to be the case for me. Did anyone experience something similar lately ?

I am a bit worried about my sales because they have been increasing steadily the past couple of years, but June is terrible, and the drop is so sudden.

Thanks !
Olivier

i had a drop also, as many others. might be the views issue affecting the sales, but until they fix the views, we can't know.

Same for me - this happened last year as well. P5 made some code change and BOOM! Sales drop.

Mmmm... That was exactly what I was afraid of. Did your sales go back up again after a while last year ?
Thanks to both of you for your replies.

Yes they did Olivier, once the bug (or whatever the problem) was fixed.
No problem and good luck!
