Hi, I recently uploaded my personal stock that consists mainly of Timelapses, at first it had about 20 views per day, but about a week ago it dropped to zero. Can someone tell me whats wrong with my keywords or titles? A don't expect to have a sale so soon, but I'm concerned about this numbers. Thanks a lot.

The sudden drop in the number of views is probably due to an issue which Pond5 had been experiencing where the website was counting views made by bots, as well as real people. This was artificially inflating ten-fold the number of views recorded against each clip. This was fixed in mid June and current views are running at more typical levels. I have a run-of--the-mill portfolio of just under 900 clips and I rarely get more than 4 or 5 views in a day. I haven't had a sale for three months.

With more than 8 million video clips online you'll need more than 197 clips if you want to see more views or even a sale or two.

Hi JoeClemson, thanks for your reply, the views came back with the usual numbers, I think it was due this issue that you mentioned. Jason, I know my portfolio is small, but I'm trying to upload just my best material, and I was concerned because I had a few sales in Shutterstock with the same amount of clips, and Pond5 being specialized in video I thought it would be easier to sell.
