Cool new feature at Lookstat
Posted on: February 7, 2009
Lookstat have released another feature:
“We just released a new feature that allows you to view thumbnails of all the images that sold over a particular time period, from all the microstock sites we support. You get to the feature by clicking on the ‘Earnings’ link on the Dashboard above the Top Earners thumbnail strip.
You can filter the list by site and you can click on any image to get that image’s sales history. It’s a simple addictive feature and we hope you enjoy using it. Feedback, as always is welcome.
(Also, we hear you loud and clear re: getting more sites into the system. Fotolia is coming soon!)”

I’ve merged the first two pages of image thumbs to make the image below, looks pretty cool…

Pretty funky stuff guys, things can only get better with more agencies added 🙂
*note: looking at the thumbnails its pretty easy to see that there are a few image matching problems across the sites*
December ’08 Microstock Stock Stats, this time using Lookstat.com
Current supported sites are iStockphoto, Dreamstime & Shutterstock, with Fotolia, 123rf & Stockxpert to follow.
December has been a slow month for sales with the only real event being an Extended license sale at Dreamstime, iStock worked hardest and Shutterstock sold most but made less money! I’ve been pretty slack with uploading, editing, and keywording for a good part of this year maybe I should make a new years resolution to get my finger out! 😉 Lately I’ve had computer problems and had to upgrade spending over £500 on Mobo, CPU, RAM & PSU (Acronym city!!!) and I’ve spent a good bit of time on my really old PC and installed ubuntu and had a good play around in Linux for the first time… *Maybe this is the way computer operating systems ‘should‘ work, its been enjoyable finding that almost everything I need is contained within the Ubuntu environment, albeit running on a slow-as-old-AMD Athlon system. I’d encourage anyone who uses a computer for general stuff to concider installing Ubuntu linux. 
Back to Stock, here’s the Lockstat view of my stock History on the current three sites:
No referral earnings will be in these numbers (Adding my referral earnings to these stats would bumb them up quite a bit).
As for features I’d like to see in Lookstat:
- Track an individual files’ sales history
- Show the Sell Through rates for each site
- Average Monthly figure for each site
- Specify an exact date period to show stats
- Further site additions of Canstockphoto, Crestock & Bigstockphoto
Now, the question… “Would I pay for this Service” ?
Not sure, it is interesting to see whish files sell the best, but for the most part I find it easy to keep my own little spreadsheet to keep track of my sales and site stats. If I was to pay for it, the amount would have to be low enough so as to be offset by an hour of my time earch month with my own spreadsheet.
Probably Due To Network Congestion
