I'm guessing you get a lot of views and not many sales :-*. I'm not sure if there's a big market for your glamour images....or one that supports the number of people who enjoy shooting it.
photoboxer:
many too dark photos
alno:
I'm not a big photo seller but I think there are too many too simple images, photo stock market is flooded with them already I guess. Try leaving more blank space for buyer's inscriptions on you glamourous pics. And there is excessive lens distortion on many architectural images of yours, it's notable even on small previews.
Jo Ann Snover:
More than anything related to technique or quality of individual photos, I think the subject matter is what will limit your sales.
There are limited markets (as stock photographs) for doors, walls, and architectural elements and a huge supply (cement wall as a search term has over 200k results). Likewise whatever you call the images of women you have - soft porn or glamor - doesn't sell to most corporate or business customers.
If you like shooting those subjects, then, for the outdoor images, try for brighter overcast days - there's a very "doom and gloom" feel to the lighting. Perhaps have your glamor customers do a few clothed shots in more mainstream settings that will appeal to more categories of stock image buyers.
Good luck
