Title: Please explain "Partner Program Downloads" at Istock.....sounds dodgy
Post by: anc on December 17, 2010, 04:30
One week in November my Istock stats show a green bar indicating that I got "143 Partner Program Downloads" and then a month later and I have had none since.

At first I thought "oh cool I will get these sales every week now" but now it just feels dodgy or underhand as if they have just allowed another website to choose 143 of my images to have on their site to sell without giving me royalties....surely that cant be true.... but how come I got 143 one week and then none then after?

Any ideas?

They are only added in one big bunch once a month, on a variable date.

Thanks a lot for that - answered my questions. Thanks Sue
