I'm trying to have some clue with this statistic, because for me it's going down. Especially RPD.

yea I think everybody knows where the stats page is, othewise they wouldn't vote.

My average RPD is 1.01 but in the last months is falling below $1.00. This month so far is a shocking $0.64, I must have been doing "a sale is a sale" stuff, if you know what I mean. My highest RPD was $1.32, way back in May.

May -- 0.68
June - 1.24
July - 1.27
Aug - 0.86
Sep - 0.93
Oct - 0.65
Nov - 0.58

13 Month Average -- 1.06

I can't see my RPD because there is all zeros on my statistic page...

Last 4 months:
0,92
1,05
0,97
0,75
avg: 1,04

Only doing stock for a year, other sites are doing very well for me, DT just never started. (1 month SS or iS income =  far more than 1 year DT income!)

I don't see a choice of "about the same".  Can't respond to this poll because nothing fits.

Uploaded regularly - RPD down, income down

Yes, it's a sad story.

lisafx & cthoman - there's this new option you asked for.
However, the general trend is already profiled. Funny thing, I didn't see the poll on the right of the page, with the "big 6" showing only DT going down the others going up. Kinda my situation, except DT is in the last place, after StockXpert and 123RF (!) this month.

Last 6 months, from 1.23$ to 1.57$ with an average of 1.38$
Last 13 months average 1.29$

Hard to tell if there is any trend. I would call it random.

The last 2 months have definitely been well below average.

RPD = rate per download ?

Surely the minimum stat which counts is rate per image online - ie an average rate for all of the images in a portfolio including those which do not sell.

And from a business accounting POV you might expand that to rate per image uploaded - ie also including rejected images. The cost of your rejected images is a legitimate business expense.

I do not see how RPD reflects the amount of labor which someone is putting in to a portfolio. Unless I am misunderstanding RPD.

Lisa, I thought of analyzing that but for credit sales only.  Any fluctuation in the proportion of subs have a high influence in RPD, even before the commission changes.  But anyway, the commission cut was supposed to mean more money for advertisement and therefore more sales - that is, lower RPD, but higher total $ due to more dlds.  I haven't noticed this - I had more dlds and higher RPD in October compared to September, about the same sales and much lower RPD compared to August - but then my numbers are small for a good statistics.
