Sales have come to a screeching halt... Google Indexing Issues?

daveh900:
My sales at 123RF have been on the decline for a couple of years, but in the past couple months its fallen off to new lows. Over an 80% drop in December of 2017 over December of 2016.

As a test, I uploaded some exclusive files to 123RF in early December and those images are still not indexed on Google Images.

I do believe that many buyers use Google Images to search and find images. Maybe a change in Google's algorithm? Images that I uploaded to other agencies were indexed by Google within days.

Same here, December was the worst month ever on 123RF. A drop of 80%-85% of my average monthly revenue. I wonder what caused it.

dpimborough:
My high water mark was 2016 made $200 for the entire year after that didn't matter how much I threw at them sales just went down and down.

2017 was down to less than 2013 so I've given up loading to them

pancaketom:
I'm still waiting for the doubling of sales they promised... well, I am not waiting really, but it hasn't happened.

Last fall I discovered that about 1/3 of my portfolio didn't even show up anywhere. They fixed that, but sales have still been pretty dire. Last Dec and this month are particularly weak.

2015 was my best year, followed by 2012 (when I think they decided that 50% was just too generous).

For what its worth....123RF fell off the cliff in December. January sales are back to normal so far with sales now equal to the entire month of December.....
