Thanks a lot for the page Sean. I find 6 images there from my flickr images now. I hope they will not increase anymore.

I have 4 images there. They are from Getty/Flickr collection. Google bought them in 31-Oct-12. They paid $60 and I got $12 for each one.
And in 29-Nov-12, google bought another 2 images (Customer Name: Google: eC
ommerce & Google Dri), but can't find them there. Something different is that they paid only $30 for each one this time. 
How do you feel about it? Is it a problem for you? Why isn't this discussed in the Flickr forums? Four pictures are quite a lot if I read the iStock forums there is a lot of outcry even from contributors that aren't affected at all.
I think the price is too low and they will throw more images there. I don't know why isn't this discussed in the Flickr forums, but I started a new thread there today.

I think if customers buy images from photographer who has lower rank in FT, then FT can keeps more revenue. For example, from the ranking White to Gold (non-exclusivity) have the same price but they share different commission.
Although photos from Emerald to Diamond are more expensive, FT can share more. But maybe customers can find the same images easily with lower price in many other agencies (especially for non-exclusivity). So when my ranking is Bronze, I don't feel the "fall" at all. In actually, since 2012/01 my weekly rank jump from 8000 to 4000 then to 2000.

Hi PixelsAway, Yesterday I had a strange spike of sales at iStock too - 30+ extra downloads. All these downloads are the same price - $1.6. I think I will get refund notices soon.

It is not stable.
Average is 1 EL per 233 downloads since 2009/3.
But 2012 January is 1 EL per 92 downloads.
2011 December is 0 EL per 537 downloads.
2011 November is 1/196.
2011 October is 1/137.
2011 September is 1/66.

123RF is real Big 4 for me. I got $82 and $ 87 in September and October. FT and DT are less than 123RF.

I have about 300 images in Flickr / Getty collection for sale now.
The average return is about $300 per month since 2010 July.

In my opinion, isolated simple work with white background suite for Micro. But maybe you can do it different far from your samples in IS. Then maybe they will sell good in Macro. If something easy to imitate, I prefer submit to Micro.

2) If you're focusing on just a few subjects, you end up competing with yourself. For continuous growth, you need to not only tackle different subjects, but search out niches that are currently underserved.
I've kept these two points top of mind when uploading new stuff to SS and all the other sites, and for me, it's working. I've had consistent growth over the past year from my first month (288 sales at SS) to last month (1351 sales). Watch your RPI (return per image) like a hawk... if it's sliding like yours has been doing, you can either apply the two points above to get it to stabilize, or you'll simply be watching it fall further.
Good luck!
Hi PowerDroid, Thanks very much for your detail advice, I will try it. May I ask how many photoes in SS while you reach 1351 sales? Thanks!

I got into microstock in 2009/3/21. SS is always the best agency for me.
In the last three months, 47% of my revenue came from SS. (I submit to eight micro agencies)
But something is strange.
I had 128 pics online with 225 downloads in April.
After six months, I have 601 pics online with just 275 pics download.
From April to October, downloads are not change too much, even if online pics are five times.
