What does "no free submissions" mean?

slightly off topic but just curious... how many downloads do you need to get a lifetime rank?

Unfortunately, I can only help with 2 numbers here (my account and my wife's account), but maybe we can narrow it down:
-> 811 downloads do not give a lifetime rank, shows "---"
-> 10.776 downloads shows the lifetime rank "10.950"

I think the weekly ranking is calculated by previous 7 days total number of downloads.  I don't think it's based on the each new calendar week.

I noticed that my weekly ranking is updated once a day,when I go down in the ranking,I start selling more and it starts to go up,once I reach a certain point I rebound and start selling little again.

in short,I continue to bounce between 2 values ​​that slowly rise over time.

I think it's like this for everyone.

I'm surprised this seems rather confusing for a lot of people? I believe I even read where it stated what the weekly sales rank is?

It's simply your rank, in terms of downloads - relatively to ALL the other contributors - for that week. Lifetime rank is simply for all contributors over the LIFETIME.

So, if you get more downloads than more people - your rank goes up. If other people get more downloads than you, your rank goes down.
So you 'could' be ranked #1, if for example you had '3' downloads, and 'everyone else' had 1. Or, you could be ranked #10000 if you had say 1000 downloads, but 'everyone else' had 1001+...

Really quite simple. Your weekly ranking is just simply how many downloads you've had relative to everyone else in the system.

of course,but why is there anyone who thinks the opposite? 

I think we all bounce between 2 values ​​in the rankings.

if your ranking value is an average of 30,000 you can probably bounce between 40,000 and 20,000

if your average value is 20,000 you probably bounce between 15,000 and 25,000

if your average value is 1000 you probably bounce between 800 and 1200

the higher you go,the less variation you have in the rankings,simply because there are fewer contributors at the top.

I don't know whether the ranking follows sales or money,I have some doubts about it,it probably follows both the number of sales and money.

those are just examples and should not be taken literally,I think everyone can agree on the fact that the higher you are in the ranking,the less changes you undergo in the weekly ranking.

do you want to talk about Adobe's sales system? 

I respect your opinion and I also partly agree,in particular I agree that quality and quantity are fundamental to having a greater number of sales.

but I also think that logically there is and must be a system that regulates the distribution of sales,it seems simply logical to me.

Have you ever tried to track the number of weekly sales?

me yes,I've been doing it for years,I write in a book,practically everything,80s style! 

in my case,throughout this year,the number of weekly sales has fluctuated between 2 very specific numbers and not very far from each other.

In your opinion,how is it possible that throughout this year I have made the same number of sales for 9 months every week, and how is it possible that hundreds of thousands of contributors sell something every day or almost every day?

do you realize that there are over half a billion content in the Adobe library and that we contributors are hundreds of thousands?

How . do you think we can sell everyone,some more or less certain,but everyone!

even just looking at it from this perspective makes it logical to think that sales are administered by a system.

I recommend you keep track of your weekly sales and write them down on a page,then after at least a year,look at these numbers on this page,and I think you'll be able to notice patterns too.

then for goodness' sake,maybe you're right and I'm wrong,but the evidence of a sales system seems everywhere to me.

and luckily there is,because it seems to me that Adobe's sales system works very well!

Weekly rankings will vary based on what seasonal content you have. Like the movement of the tide and over time, you see the patterns in the data.

Lifetime rank for a change.
