after BS IS and FT eventually StockXpert decided to raise their prices,what about DT?any news?
-
Not long ago they changed the level limits, and then they introduced the editorial license and now are working in the multi-lingual site, so maybe it will take a while before the next step. Higher subs prices (and earnings) would be a welcomed move.

Dropping (or allowing an opt-out) on subscription sales would be the best way for DT to increase the average price per download. In February (which was a good month for me overall, but a poor one at DT) the average per download was 77 cents, down from over $1 in January.
The level system works well to give images that "sell" a raise, but it's undercut by the subscription sales where buyers get a maxiumum sized image and we get a 21 cent commission (if it's a partner sale).

of course how on earth I forgot about that :)

Absolutely agree,here again sub system contradicts with PPD I think such price raises would encourage more people to subscribe.I wish they'd drop it there and StockXpert as well.(I know StockXpert allows opt out)

i dunno whether the subscription is helping... but a download is better than none, but then u see it's 30c, its kinda disappointing. just a thought ;) have almost same amount of downloads in feb, but the earning dropped tremendously.
but the level limit is a good change!

I think it is time for DT to introduce the XS size as well and maybe raise the credits, 4 credits for an Xlarge size is quite cheap in the industry at the moment.
and just for the record I wasn't too happy about the prices for the 123rf sizes ..... I think they could have charged a lot more than that.
