Sadly for me it's been since I created my account... and I have several thousand files!

no position just means 0 sales...

Yes I figured that out at the start of the week. I mean it does say week... Now I know better.

SS down, AS up, IS down, P5 up. AS will pass SS, P5 will pass IS. Question is how fast? 2020

Somewhere in the 30k range.

On a side note the new layout is very confusing. Ideally the login dashboard should show money, last sold pics, last accepted pics etc.

While Adobe is getting closer I wouldn't put money on them ever passing SS. If they ever took on Editorial that would be a different story.

I agree ~ people have being saying Adobe is "On Fire!" and predicting they will over take SS but I've yet to see it in the last two years.

From my own experience Adobe bumbles along with subscription sales the credit sales of Fotolia days have long gone and my revenue from Adobe has only shown a decline.

Adobe is on fire!

Honestly with and inside track to buyers through CC and the actual review policies that screen for useful, quality images, I think they can grow and keep taking a bite out of SS business.

I'm sure I've pointed this out before, but remember when IS was King of the Hill, and all the rest just hanging out down below. It could take 2-3 years but Adobe has more growth potential than any other site, with or without Editorial.

The poll here is far from scientific, but it does reflect the forum members over time? If the drop for SS stays the same and the growth for AS continues, 2021 they will be neck and neck.

Didn't you delete a large number of images back in DPC? Are those back now or did you cut your collection down and leave it smaller for Adobe?

I closed my FT account, so I'm starting over from nothing.

Yes I deleted a large chunk (about 50%) during the Dollar photo club debacle

I did start uploading again around 2 years ago but Adobe doesn't take editorial so they'll never be as big as SS or Alamy.

No pretty much like all of the agencies but its an irrelevance anyway as there will contributors with zero images and small portfolios of less than 100

How is your Adobe position number going on in the last two months?

My sales have dropped 50%, but weekly position still stays quite the same.

trucic · « **Reply #34 on:** August 14, 2019, 12:48 »

... position is almost the same, but sales are strangely low... something drastically changed in the middle of June and after that sales were random...
