721 sales in a year = well done ! :-)
I don't have much sales there since (41 since beginning of september 2011 - ~400 images port) but I always wonder if it's not only because i don't put my illustrations in vector format (only jpegs)...
Maybe I should delete all jpegs and re-upload...?

Defintely.

Canstock automatically converts your EPS (vector) to JPG, and offer both to users.

Of my 700 sales, 300 of those are EPS format. Commission on EPS is great (2.50$ to 5.00$) so it adds up quickly. If you have the EPS version of you illulstrations, I would recommend removing the port and re-uploading as EPS (with meta data in it), you might be losing some sales there.

I have a fairly large portfolio now (3500 images), I started with 400 at the beginning of the year.

At 400 images (vector) I had around 20 sales per month, and right now I have around 100 per month.

Hope a bit of stats help you, but considering 300 EPS out of 720 sales, it means 41% (more or less) of my sales are EPS, so that is a lot.

Thanks a lot for the advice Morphart. That helps me a lot !
your stats are very significant

Fortunately I put IPTC data in my images each time i upload so it won't be very painful
I'll probably remove most of my images, but slowly and smoothly (just to be sure i don't bother the CS inspector team ;-)

Apparently you're right, Morphart.  I'm a photographer, and prior to this past December, I'd average about half a dozen sales per month.  Had twelve sales in June, one sale in July.  Had six sales in November and then... nothing.  One sale a couple of days ago.  I like CanStockPhoto, and I really hope it does well, but so far that's not the case for me.  (My portfolio there is 1,313 files.)

The only thing about uploading vectors on CanStockP is that the jpeg preview images generated automatically aren't very clean and well rendered
That's what made me prefer to upload only jpegs at the beginning

Another thing i'm wondering is if you always feed the category fields after your files are accepted ?
Probably useful if CS buyers uses oftenly the 'browse' menu...

Yes I do feel after reading a lot of threads on Canstock that illustrations does better there then photography.

This thread here is another example of it:

@Pixmicro
Check with their support, I don't seem to have that issue with my Illustration. The preview looks like the my illustration even when I zoom in.

I had issues before with Bigstock because my illustrations EPS were set to CMYK instead of RGB, so the color got distorted, maybe you can check this too just in case.

Total newbie, uploaded about 40 images from my fledgling portfolio (total 70 to date). After a few days of nothing I got one view and one sale. Best Graph Ever. It can only go downhill from this glorious statistical moment.

I read all the letters of an existing, canstock actually very good in sales. just does not easily get all the sales. So in my opinion, better keep uploading and patiently hoping to get a sale.
