Title: Fotolia earnings lower than Dreamstime
Post by: Elenathewise on February 11, 2013, 10:40

Based on the first week of February my Fotolia earnings are lower than earnings on Dreamstime.... For the first time in 7 years. And I have less files on DT  - 11,676 versus 13,160 on Fotolia. I guess lowering the prices for emeralds didn't help them with their sales...
Sad - Fotolia used to be among my top 3 earners, sometimes number 1.

same here- Fotolia is doing very poorly for me this month as well. Last month they were my number 2 company and this month my number 9. What happen to them? any theories?

I always have more sales at FT than DT but DT usually makes more $$ (even taking into account that FT is in €)

For a long while Fotolia was  my number 1 earner  until they started messing up the search for Emeralds but since then DT has been earning me twice as much.

They were below DT for most of 2012 for me. Royalties down almost 75% from two years ago, when they were consistently my #2 site. 

Not sure if the issue is sitewide or more punishment for emeralds... ???

in 2011 FT earn't 15% more than DT for me
in 2012 FT earn't slightly over half of what DT did.
DT was almost the same both years, so it was pure drop for FT.

I'm gold on FT. Looking at the way ranking has gone, the sales are still there, they are just being spread out more.
