For those who didn't saw this website already, here is it...  http://istockcharts.multimedia.de/

It give lot of information about the Istock sales and statistics. If you're not on the list you can add your name at the top (Add New User)

I couldn't saw this thread without a poll. I Hope it's not making too much of them, but you know it's just for fun ...

So what's your rank? (Sorted by the default option -downloads-)

Mine is 5229

I assume you mean the rank by number of downloads? (The ranking is re-sorted for each item. I am much higher in DL/img than total DL) 

Yes thanks! It's fixed

submitted but aint got a clue or real interest in anyone else's sale's  beside my own.

i think the poll is too narrow. You should've included 25,000+ and 100,000+ categories.

CofkoCof was quicker... I edited the question to be more clear

Oops, I voted based on number of IS downloads.
Can you edit the poll so I can change my vote?

Hi V,

 I show 4676 for me but it keeps dropping as more people are added. I think it is up to about 18,000 now so it is a great tool. I use it all the time. I like the way it shows peoples sales number per image this is a very important number to the stock agencies. It shows you produce images that sell, they like that. The only part it doesn't show is sell through rate or how many of each photographers photos have sold at least once in their life.

Best,
AVAVA

oh i just looked at this chart for the first time.My name is listed and interesting stats.

I am top 400, the way IStock sales are going right now, that don't mean much!

I'm in the top 150, don't want to reveal more than that at the moment, as I may have some pretty rude things to say about IS in future.

So is that "imp" as in Vlad the Impaler or some happier, friendlier sprite? Not sure how well the anonymity thing will work - it's hard to assess anything you're hearing if you have no idea who the person is. Are you shank_ali creating another user name for his dream self as a hugely successful iStocker??

Kind of sour lately aren't we?

it's pretty impressive to see Liliboas rocking 859 DLs in the last 24 hour update.

Yeah i always thought its stupid than people think peopleshots do best DNY is another example that clearly shows that no people shots are needed DNY and Lili certainly have some skills but looking at the files they sold best recently there is nothing special about it (an isolated tree or isolated christmas-stuff for example) everyone can do stuff like this no great models or special skills are needed for that.
On the other Hand i'm amazed how a high profile shooter like Kevin Russ (with over 9000files) or mammamart obviously make a lot less than me.

Can you walk around outside during the day without people staring at you???

no

Me? Or did you mean Vlad the Impaler?

If me, I didn't mean to be sour, but am just a bit grumpy with those who wish to converse anonymously while hinting at celebrity.
