How can I decide, what thumbs I would like to show for categories?

The same for tag sites too?

What is the best way to autooptimize this?

Hmm.. ok, what thumb do you want to display ?

I think I have to look at all thumbs of galleries and I want to choose most sexy,beautiful galleries/thumbs.

It would be nice to have something in "List Thumbs" to toprate thumbs (boost of CTR for for sorting to display) of a gallery to display this primary selection with mixed new galleries/thumbs to visitors. If CTR goes low after X displays, then the CTR should fall down.

Does it make sense?

Not really
Can you show an example with numbers ?

I start a fresh tube site with imports.

I see thumbs of a category, that are sexier in my mind.
Now I would like to push these galleries to be shown on first page on first positions.

How can I do this?
Or do I have to wait a long time, that visitors are seeing thumbs and get statistic about this?

Save the image you like as category_name.jpg
and replace

<category>
.... <!--THUMB_URL--> with URL to category_name.jpg

But then the image will be static.
And I loose CTR counting and I loose the dynamic of your order depending on CTR.

The image will be static - yes
But it will still count CTR and so on.

You wanted to choose a thumb - this is a way to fix it.

You you want to set a certain CTR to a thumb

admin/?operation=rotation&sub=rot_import&action_type=massedit&

select a gallery and set clicks and shows (CTR)

I know it's a weird way to do it but let's try it this way and if it works for you - we''ll add this functionality.

First it seems to be working.
But now I have the problem, that all thumbs of the 3 selected/changed urls (I changed Clicks and Shows) get this new values.

Result: category page shows me first all this thumbs as galleries.
So I have 10 thumbs of one gallery at first.

How can I change the values of a single thumb?

Result: category page shows me first all this thumbs as galleries.

Do you mean you have 3 thumbs from the same gallery ?
