Number of Sales

Put it in dollars. How many sales is less important than the total dollars in sales.

Or a second column next to number column. For most of us that are in a fairly narrow sales price the number still works. THos who sell for $10-15 the number column is pretty worthless I agree. Then when the occasional photo lower priced sale happens the number is also void. I like the number but the running total for a week puts the real answer up front. We do have a running total of $ already just not in a graph layout.

I honestly prefer the SS $ graph. My prices have significant differences, especially between 4k and HD, so the number of sales means much less to me. I don't care if they keep it I guess, just saying the weekly totals would be nice to look back through quickly.

Also, I suggest that sort order will be "Amount of sales" not "Number of sales".

It would be nice to be able to click on the bar graph and have the thumbs and footage sold in that graph to pop up.

Wideweb is very right. If peoples pricing is based on quality, then ten dollar clips should be lower quality. Most people search by number of sales, expecting to see higher quality due to higher sales. If ten dollar sales sell frequently, and they sometimes do, what you see in search results is worse comes first. SS is far more effective at eventually sorting my best work to the top. P5 sucks at it, because my good work is hidden by worse quality 10 crap. This has to give a perception of major amateur hour to p5, as in almost every category, worst comes first. Search by total revenue would hugely alleviate that.

Absolutely, amount of sales ($) should be a big part of the search or order algorithm especially when it comes to extremely low prices clips that some artists price as such hoping to increase their search results. Maybe something using the average price of $64 for HD in combination with number of sales. If amount is all that counts then there are a few $499 or similar clips with only one or two sales would then become priority which is also not right. So maybe a ten dollar clip takes six sales to equal one sold at the average price of $64 or a clips selling at $20 would take three sales to equal the average. Any priced over the average is given same priority.

Anyway, interesting discussion but doubt we'll hear from P5 on current priority or possible priority equality based on pricing and sales.

Don, I am not sure what you are saying is realistically simple enough to implement. If a $500 sale is sufficient quality to sell at that price, it should be at forefront in search anyway. This simple system would solve the race to front of search reports by slashing prices problem, and cause higher quality clips to rise to the top.

That is the main thing MOST want is that the low quality and/or race to the bottom doesn't have more priority than great quality and business priced.

Agreed. I will make the suggestion and we need to really get the votes.
