Hi! I was wondering if its possible to see rating of a particular photo (not mine). Say I found a photo, and I want to know how well it sells. Appearing on a first page of a "search reults" probably means only relevance..

Butwhat if I want to know which image is downloaded more often?

There's no way to see other people's stats on this site.

Change search results to popular and you know which one sells best.

Ok thanks. I thought I missed something about this cos' istock has such a rating (colored) so you can instantly see if if its a hit or not.

i always thought that was a bad idea. If I were a buyer, I would look for something good but not something that everyone has bought.

I think that some people like to see what others are selling well, so that they can mimic the shot or put their own spin on it, and perhaps pick up some of the sales.
