I am a vector guy as well and my sales have been up dramatically across the board since January.
Even Alamy is doing well.
On Alamy, make sure you have enough keywords (50) and fill in all of the criteria so that your images have good or optimized visibility.

Please, please don't put 50 keywords in unless they are really necessary for your image.
Otherwise, you've got optimised visibility for irrelevant terms, which won't help you and will just p*ss off buyers.
It's one of these very peculiar things Alamy introduces from time to time with no real logic or explanation; and this one is inevitably causing a LOT of irrelevant searches.
There's been a lot of discussion of this over on their forum. No one can see how 50 keywords, unless relevant, is a good idea.

Nothing wrong here. 190 sales so far in 2018 which is about 50% above the same time last year.

That is a suggestion that deserves to be ignored you clearly have no idea how keywording works in Alamy it's not necessary to spam the heck out of keywords to get to 50 and even if you do it has no effect on visibility.

10 keywords will do if they are relevant and accurate
