Ok so I missunderstood you. Typical of me sometimes. But if you're going by just the Rendo counts, my point still stands. What may only show in the tens or hundreds here actually do show up in the hundreds and thousands on ShareCG because the freebies are "Linked to" from more than just this one site. My own freebies were advertised and put in freebie sections on multiple sites and also posted as links in forum threads. This goes for freebies hosted on other sites as well.

I merely pointed to that site for a more accurate view of how the freebies were performing. Also, people post links to their freebies in the forums so you're not going to get an accurate count from any one site's freebie listings except for the site that hosts them.

Renderosity is a pretty good cross section of what happens in poserdom.  I'm very familiar with Share CG, and I'm also very familiar with the practice of inflating download numbers there as well.

What I do know is that DAZ and Rendo combined account for a large majority of poserdom traffic. Theer are many published numbers about this.

But, let's look at Share CG, it appears tha tthere is around 250 or so pages if poser freebies there. Soert them by number of views, and look at about half - page 100.

Most items there have close to 600 vievs, and downloads for those items are under 100. This shows a lower average for downloads then what I was counting as average on rendo. It shows that most middle of th road freebies on share CG don't avearge around a 100. I was looking at an average of around 300 or so on Rendo.

We're also not looking for an 'accurate count' but looking for a belieavable statistical cross section. Rendeosity numbers are handy for the conversation, and can certainly offer a believable statistical cross section of what happens with freebies and sales in poserdom.
