Title: Are Dreamstime sales being recorded today?
Post by: lisafx on August 16, 2010, 17:13: I am at about a third of my usual weekday sales at DT today, and no new ones showing since early in the day. The $ amount hasn't changed either.

I consistently get close to the same number of sales every weekday. This is highly unusual.

Anyone else experiencing the same? (and I don't mean the general slowdown of sales, but an abrupt, unexplained falloff today).

Post by: Pheby on August 16, 2010, 17:41: Well, I started wondering today aswell. I didn't have a single sale all day long, and that's very unusual for a weekday. Up to now, I was willing to put it down to, well, you know...

Must have been a big search engine shakeup. My dreamstime sales have never been this bad on a non-holiday weekday since the first year I started uploading there (2005).

Best day for me may not mean what it does for most people. For me it simply means I had a sale ... or 2 or 3. LOL

This is highly unusual.
Probably a coincidence. I has a 2-digit $ day on DT by large credit sales (one TIFF). Two of them were very niche editorials. It just happened that the right buyer came around. No worries. Tomorrow is another day.

Post by: rubyroo on August 16, 2010, 22:33: No sales at all on DT today. Seems quieter than usual all round for me today though (with the exception of SS which seems to bounce along happily as usual). I was thinking perhaps I'd been affected by people taking their holidays this week.

To have a sale, you have to upload first. Strange but true. ;)
