Rank Suddenly Drops

Hey there,

I recently had a prospective employer try and find me on iMDB. They went and looked for my name, which usually pops up at the top because it is not a common name, and my page would not appear. I checked into it, and it seems that my iMDB ranking dropped from 192,191 down to 3,750,481 - a 95% drop. It has never been that low, and I'm wondering if someone could help me identify what the issue is? I've had my iMDB page for over 10 years and have never had an issue with it.

Thanks!

Employee

Hello @ivwerff,

I've reviewed your STARmeter graph on your IMDbPro page and confirm the ranking is correct.

 

The STARmeter ranking is based on several statistical indicators including the frequency and number of people who view an individual's IMDb page. The STARmeter ranking can change week over week based on this.

When statistical calculations are performed on such a large sample of data, even small variations in popularity can produce significant changes in rank. When an individual is very popular, the average interest of users over time remains fairly constant. With less popular names, it's more common to have sudden and sharp increases or decreases in the number of people who visit their page or see their filmography credits.

For further information on STARmeter, please see our Help page.
