I'm trying to have some clue with this statistic, because for me it's going down. Especially RPD.

leaf · « **Reply #1 on:** November 10, 2009, 08:37 »

Mine is about staying the same.

The last four months are

1.21
1.08
1.12
1.13
1.28

My overall average is 1.17 with highest ever last month at $1.28, before that $1.21 last November and June

Here is a link to your stats page

yea I think everybody knows where the stats page is, othewise they wouldn't vote.

My average RPD is 1.01 but in the last months is falling below $1.00. This month so far is a shocking $0.64, I must have been doing "a sale is a sale" stuff, if you know what I mean. My highest RPD was $1.32, way back in May.

Been with DT for about 1 year and 9 months with 500 photos/graphics online. Their latest changes are not good for new contributors. DT used to be a solid 2nd and has fallen to 4th place. Very disappointing.

RPD last 6 months:
$1.13
$1.12
$1.09
$0.89
$0.88
$0.93

Avg. $1.09

I can't see my RPD because there is all zeros on my statistic page...

RPD=0.88 for the last 12 months with no clear trend
income goes up

Only doing stock for a year, other sites are doing very well for me, DT just never started. (1 month SS or iS income = far more than 1 year DT income!)

Best: 1.80

Around 500 images online. My stats still fluctuate a lot so they are not too reliable.

I don't see a choice of "about the same". Can't respond to this poll because nothing fits.

I kind of felt the same. My income was going steadily up through June, then was way down from July to September. Now, it seems to be back to June levels. RPD is up and down, but usually somewhere above $1.

Perry · « **Reply #12 on:** November 10, 2009, 10:53 »

Uploaded regularly - RPD down, income down

Yes, it's a sad story.

elvinstar · « **Reply #13 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:28 »

Last 6 months plus this month:

$1.56
$1.38
$1.22
$1.34
$1.03
$0.98
$1.48

This month is so high only due to a (VERY RARE) EL sale.

Xalanx · « **Reply #14 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:46 »

lisafx & cthoman - there's this new option you asked for.
However, the general trend is already profiled. Funny thing, I didn't see the poll on the right of the page, with the "big 6" showing only DT going down the others going up. Kinda my situation, except DT is in the last place, after StockXpert and 123RF (!) this month.

Jonathan Ross · « **Reply #15 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:52 »

I have more downloads now with less return than when I started. My RPD for the past 6 months is a $1.70.

Best,

RPD at DT
2009 June 1.60 (BME for RPD)
2009 July 1.20
2009 Aug .89
2009 Sep .81
2009 Oct .86 (BME for #of sales but well off BME for Revenue)
2009 Nov .55 (10 days into the month)

Definite downward trend on RPD and definite trend for increasing number of sub sales $:-\$

RPD = rate per download ?

Surely the minimum stat which counts is rate per image online - ie an average rate for all of the images in a portfolio including those which do not sell.

And from a business accounting POV you might expand that to rate per image uploaded - ie also including rejected images. The cost of your rejected images is a legitimate business expense.

I do not see how RPD reflects the amount of labor which someone is putting in to a portfolio. Unless I am misunderstanding RPD.

lisafx · « **Reply #23 on:** November 10, 2009, 17:47 »

I could be wrong, but I think the reason that RPD is being considered here is because there was recently a commission cut at Dreamstime and people are curious how that is affecting RPD overall.

Lisa, I thought of analyzing that but for credit sales only. Any fluctuation in the proportion of subs have a high influence in RPD, even before the commission changes. But anyway, the commission cut was supposed to mean more money for advertisement and therefore more sales - that is, lower RPD, but higher total $ due to more dlds. I haven't noticed this - I had more dlds and higher RPD in October compared to September, about the same sales and much lower RPD compared to August - but then my numbers are small for a good statistics.
