I'm at 30% of May. Looking at the trends of the last few months I should be at least at 50%. But as I've always said, I couldn't care less about DT, they bring me only 5% of my total earnings

"Inconsistency" seems to be the word to describe Microstock lately (sales and reviews)

If you discard the data from the top 2, then yes.

I was under the impression that you thought reviews inconsistent in 50% of the top 2???   

Reviews yes, earnings no

They are holding steady for me.  So far this year every month has been higher than the monthly average for last year and last month was a BME.  The higher RPD is keeping revenue higher even though number of sales is down.  This year they have made up a little under 9% of all earnings, in 4th place overall.  But I agree that inconsistency is the key word - DT and CS have the highest variance in earnings for me.  Over the past six months my earnings at DT have varied more than 7 fold.  I just hope their business model is sustainable and the decent earnings continue.

My chart looks about like everyone else's here. 

I've had 4 sales in June, two were subs.  This is the worst ever for me.  Everyone doesn't seem to be affected - there is nothing in the forum.

This thread indicates I'm not being overly critical.

Who is going to start the thread in the DT forum?  Or have they deleted all the threads?

Not me.  I'm banned.   

Not me, I'm not banned, but I think it would be pointless.

DT now represents about 4% of our income (Minerva Studio).
And we only upload to 5 agencies, one of which is completely automatized (Bigstock via Bridge).
That's quite junky.

Can someone please tell me that this is a coincidence.

   Looks like we should use the forum more

That's what I'm dreading

I don't use their forums at all and still have managed to sell, so I hope it is just a coincidence.

Serban once said the forum presence was a factor in the best match.

That's just ridiculous

I'm sure he meant kissing up to them in the forum was a factor in the best match. I doubt the posts I've made recently have done me any good.

In April I made a lot of posts, mostly venting about at the new commission structure etc. Turned out to be a good month. There are many other things I can complain about, so I might set to work. 

On a more serious note, if forum activity also plays a factor in search, no matter how small the factor, well that's just silly. The only worse thing I heard was when both Yay and CC started making a factor of the number of FB 'likes' on images, a little over a a year ago. I don't know if they still do it.
