https://www.shutterstock.com/g/r_D_r?search_source=base_gallery&language=en&page=1&sort=newest&safe=true I think New images are not visible to customers.Compare to last month,Zero download in September for me.


It's because your keywords are just spam why can't you be honest and put the correct keywords in?

Sadly your images are just low commercial value

Example
http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-474654643/stock-photo-graphite-is-covered-by-wood.html?src=CHihwepp3hs5lfU3yKcuBw-2-7

Graphite is covered by wood?? You mean it is  a pencil

Keywords: I highlighted the junk keywords for you
 art, background, black, creativity, design, draw, drawing, education, element, equipment, eraser, filing, flat, graphic, graphite, icon, illustration, isolated, large, lead, learn, object, office, pastel, pen, pencil, pure, school, set, sharp, sign, simple, single, study, subject, supplies, symbol, tip, tool, vertical, web, website, white, wood, work, write, writer, yellow

Still very poor sales for new content, older one's are doing good.
I also see that I get no gallery views too.

The next quarterly report will be interesting not sure when its due? I like evidence rather than anecdote and with the best will in the world what is on this site is a tiny sample. However, things do seem to be going off the rails and Adobe are probably the first serious competition they've had for years.

adobe, and as pauliewalnuts say, go indie.
i started my own project ie to contact the bloggers who bought my works at ss
... food bloggers, travel bloggers, sports bloggers, .. even the ones
like biggest xxx, hottest xxx,.. etc.. which are claiming the largest traffic.

i got my first commission with one of them, which comes up to more than what i got from ss
this month.

as pauliewalnuts stated, eliminate the middle-man, who is taking the biggest chunk
of your earnings giving you peanuts.
without the middle man, the earnings could look less, but really much more than even one sod
or all the sods you missed these past years
with the disappearance of the 28 to 102 bucks single earnings.

i read from one of my emails from the bloggers about geo-strategic marketing...
which goes past my head...
but it says from my old school mind understanding,
you learn this and you can make back more than all you gave to ss in your 15 years.

better energy spent than come in here to let my a$$ sniffer sniff my @rse, LOL

Seems to be the exact opposite to new sales. I keep seeing files being sold that I uploaded ten years back and they are not even good. Ridiculous really whats the point in uploading fresh content when they are not given the chance to sell. I don't know? seems to be something all wrong with this entiere outfit nowadays.

I don't want to repeat myself (I've mentioned this before) but I am seeing new content - last few months - selling along with older stuff (and I have been with Shutterstock a long time). I'm not seeing any high value SODs, which is why things are not great at SS for me, but the sales volume is good and includes lots of this year's uploads as well as oldies.

I've not noticed a dip in new images particularly but I do see quite a few old non-sellers surfacing. I'm more concerned that with the exception of Fotolia every other site is tanking for me this month.

True. Some will find new content selling others won't. Search is somewhat skewed that way.

Me too, I find mostly that my good files sell much better then my poor files. Odd how that works? If I upload marginal quality and subject, new or old, or something that there's 100,000 already on SS, they don't sell good? Nothing strange going on that I see. Do people expect things to sell just because they are new? That ended in 2012.
