The problem seems to be that lots of reviewers rely on the results for that and will reject images that are actually quite different and in short supply on their site. I don't mind them only accepting two different versions of each subject but they have taken it to an extreme. I've had some quite unique photos rejected, probably because there were several elements that I use in lots of other photos and that gets caught by the software. Some reviewers must be ignoring the software because they accept almost everything. So they have a bad policy and it's a bit of a lottery. As I find it tedious uploading there, compared to the newer sites, I don't do it very often anymore. And I'm annoyed that they seem to be following the istock policy of raising prices and lowering commissions.

... although they may have lots of isolated flowers, they have few to none of the ones I submitted. For example, one was a spuria iris, of which they have zero in their database, while another was a kniphofia (red hot poker), which gives you 34 results in their database but only one is isolated.
When i read this thread, i wonder why my sales this month are all almost credits and not subscription!!! It's my BME here and the first time things go up since 3 years, I suppose it's a change in the search algorithm, but it's fit exactly for me!
DT has been way down this month and I just checked my last 20 sales - 14 are subs. I don't think I've seen that high a ratio of subs to credit sales since I came back last June. I think this month will end up slightly more than half July's total at DT
Same here __ way down. My RPD has slipped from $2.40+ a few months ago to just $1.67 this month
OK I see, mine was always around 1$ and this month, for the fist time near 2$.

Very frustrating to see so many Level 3,4, and 5 subscription sales for $0.35.
August 2012 earnings at DT are the lowest since July 2009. It seemed as though subs were way up, but when I actually look at the trends, subs are almost exactly the same number as they have been all year (of course earning way less with no levels) - it's the credit sales since "the change" that are less than half what they had been trending.
