I've been there a few months now and there is zero happening for me.
What's your experience?
Looks like another plug to be pulled!!

I see it has been dropped from the Up & Coming list here.

I did put a lot of effort in midstock-sites my personal experience is that they are suffering heavily. Midstock seems to have not much future anymore. Every Midstock-site (most are german) have fewer pics and not much better quality than the big 6 Microstocksites often they have nearly the same pics. It's just a matter of time than Midstock will be washed away. I still have monthly sales with PM but it's about the same as two years ago with a portfolio more than thirty times bigger than two years ago - go figure! There was a healthy midstock-scene in Germany not so long ago but they lost huge market-share especially to FUtolia!
The only sure harbour currently seems to be the RM-Collections of the big two unfortunately its extremely hard to get anything accepted by them.

I uploaded 100 a couple of months ago and I am now getting a few sales. It is nice to see higher prices and in euros. Only a few rejections so far. I am going to stick with them and upload my portfolio.

I've uploaded a heap but haven't had time to push more than a few images through the approval process thing. so far have got 50 accepted with 16 rejections (illustrated backgrounds). Those 50 are not spectacular but have got me 3 sales (about 60 euro) in the past 5-6 weeks.

So personally I am pretty happy so far.

Did you upload your portfolio there and give them a year before coming to that conclusion? They take a few months to sell but from what I have seen they sell much better than mostphotos.

I've got my first sale many months ago; and then several months later I've got a second one. Then I don't have any for several months... So I wonder are there really regular sales, and are they higher than for example bigstock or 123rf? My portfolio is very small at PM (just several tens pictures); and upload process is lengthy so I wonder if it worth the time/effort spent...

upload process is lengthy

MikLav, we are about to introduce a new upload system within the next 2 - 4 weeks.

Of course

So I hope some other members who have bigger portfolios at PM could share their impressions... I have about 1000 photos that I could upload - not a huge amount but not too low - so I wonder if my efforts for uploading will be paid back in reasonable time.

And indeed thanks for the good news about new upload process !

I have 776 files up on PM. Started there in April 2007.
With the same files up on the big micros I have made more in my best single month each on Istock, FT, Shutter and Dreamstime than in the total two years on PM.
My average RPI over the total time I'm with these agencies is ten times higher on FT than on PM, fifteen times higher on SS than on PM.
That about says it for me, but maybe it's just my kind of pics that doesn't sell well on PM.

I have sporadic sales, but they only have about 5% of my portfolio there so I couldnt really say in comparison to other sites. I decided that the uploading procedure was to time intensive for the expected return and pretty much gave up on them (I have some images sitting in ftp folder which I click a few through when I'm in the mood). personally I would be very interested to see the new upload method in a few weeks, if looks quick enough then I will upload to them
