Title: Is this the reason for slow sales at BigStock ??
Post by: Lcjtripod on September 26, 2008, 13:25
37% LESS visitors in the last 3 months!

.. and my sales there reflect about the same change downward.

Anyone else going down hill with BigStock?

Well spotted! and very interesting.

This trend reflects my dismal sales also. - What a slump!

The thing is - where have the visitors gone?

Sorry, almost BME for me - one more sale and I'll tie my BME. 38 DLs so far this month with 275 total pics. With 4 days to go hopefully a few more sales will sneak through.  The last 3 months are hovering at right about the same level. So for me BigStock is very consistent now - and I haven't uploaded anything in 2-3 months.

Get over Alexa stats. It's as likely to be the unpopularity of Alexa.

11 sales in September. I stopped uploading to them because of low sales and ftp that accepts only one connection at a time.

Funny, this is my Best Month Ever™ at BigStock with $42 so far (with only 341 images online)

You've trademarked Best Month Ever?  Shall I stop using it now?  Will I never have another one again? :D
