They have slowed down for me lately. Hope they pick back up soon.

2$ only this month with almost 700 pics online... Not promising!!!

Two sales this month, 1$, over 1300 images online. Bad..

I have not sold one photo since March 25th...it's like they suddenly died!! I always have made steady sales from Bigstock. Some months are slower than others but there are always sales. It's almost been a month and not one. What is going on??

^^^ Agreed.  It is slow.  I've had 3 sales this month at $1 each.  Nearly two years at BS and still waiting for my first payout.   

Port is barely over 350.

Perhaps someone tripped over the "turn images for sale off" switch

I must be the one doing something wrong, Larry.  I don't get 32 sales in YEAR.

Larry sounds like your doing something right... I just have never went for a whole month without a single sale there. The sales have always been steady. I'm thinking hard to remember rather I said something wrong to the wrong person so they hit the "turn off sales button"

I have about 2,000 more images on BigStock than you do. That alone is a big factor. Your port is nice, just make it grow. Sales will follow.

I just had a quick look at your port (2300) and compared to mine (1300), it all fits more or less. I had 18 sales up to today at BigStock in April. But my experience there is since 2005 and there was a clear break in the monthly RPI around April 2008, that never recovered afterwards. They fell back (considering port growth) to 1/2 or 1/3. My good sellers at BigStock are totally different from other sites, and that by itself is a good reason to keep feeding it.

For me, it's been the Rise of Canstock.

So far this month...

123 ~ $3/day
BigStock ~ $4/day
CAN ~ $5/day

Of course, Canstock's good showing is due mainly to those "Fotosearch Regular" downloads of $20 or $30 each, which happen now about once or twice a week.

Plus one !

For me it's mainly the $5 and $2.5 vector sales. I'm getting a lot of those and things are looking very good this month (performing almost as good as StockXpert did)
