On a typical day I might see around 15-20 downloads at DT. But the past few days, DT seems to have fallen off a cliff. After a normal start to the week, I had ONE download yesterday and TWO so far today.
New search change? Something else going on? Or is it just me?
(Other sites are pretty normal all week, including today, so I won't buy a "it's the start of summer" answer.)

Sorry... double post.

Waaaaaaaay Woooorse for me. I've been waiting since the 24th for $1.12 to reach payout. It does seem strange but I've noticed the same thing at nearly every payout threshold. Wonder Why?

No, DT is going really well, and this month is a BME, by a long way, even including our days before being IS exclusive.
We have removed all our files from the dirt cheap sites, though, maybe that has something to do with it?

I haven't had a sale there since the 20th. I'm pretty sure they're way down for me compared to last month. Kinda been like that all over for me despite getting back online and uploading new images.

what do you mean by dirty cheap? which agencies? its insane that these days we dig hard to find why we have less sales, never agency fault ???

I've had an unusually good last few days at DT. I just put it down to the cyclical 'feast or famine' nature of the site.

I suspect this is the answer. I request every Friday, and today I am requesting the lowest payout I can remember. About half a typical weekly payout for me there.
I was assuming it was related to the high number of former exclusive files being added, plus the US holiday on Monday.

Something has changed or is changing ... my last three sales were all uploaded since 10 May 2013.
I NEVER sell New Images at DT.
Very Strange.

the world is really upside down LOL perhaps you got just lucky and buyer went after newest, just a guess, believe there isn't much holding your "conspiration" ;)

I had a BME there in April but had a 60% drop in May with almost no sales for over 3 weeks. Sales started again around a week ago which prevented May from being a complete bust. In other words, typical DT sales swings. The OP will probably be way up in another couple of weeks.

No one (zero) sale this last week.
It never happened before…

They go in cycles. And if you mis such a cyclus, you might not sell a single picture for a whole month.
