Title: Yuri Arcurs earns more at Fotolia then IS

Yuri recently reached Ruby (congrats btw, big acomplishment) and mentioned he would raise prices to $4 per credit, plus his commission increases to 45%. 

Meanwhile, IS restricts his uploads and gives him 20%.   Can't see the logic, but I'm sure Sean will have something to say about that.   ;D

Sure looks a long way from my position of 35% of $1 credits. :D

I appreciate Yuri takes his time to comment and write for the community. I wonder if what he says will become the "Yuri Effect", when it comes to shaking one stock service or give a boost to other :)

Fotolia is a big player pimp :) Earn less for small ones. See the graph on the right side

I just had my imagse on Fotolia at $2 a few months back and this month will be close to a tie in terms of revenue with IS. So I can imagine that at $3 or $4 it wouldn't be hard to beat out IS.  :) I love Fotolia.... now another year or so for the next level!   8)

I understand you are talking of Yuri's monthly revenue? Or income per upload? Or comission for sale?

:) I love Fotolia....

I was just thinking about whether I love Fotolia too or not whilst clicking on the link to the forum to read the post. And then I remembered: No, I don't - I hate the fact that as a member of Fotolia Germany I'm only allowed to read the German forum which is awful anyway. And BTW their translation tool is the worst ever - the search results you get on the German site are grotesk. Say that on the forum, and you're chucked out.
Sorry - a bit off topic I suppose!

stardust: While being logged in klick on this link: http://de.fotolia.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=2 and then you can open the post.

I hate it too that Fotolia tries to prevent us to read the other forums but fortunately there are ways around it.

I had this problem at the heat of the subscription discussions, but later it resumed working.  Maybe it's also a cache problem?

I really don't know where the problem is (whether it's a cache-problem or something else). But people seem to be complaining about that quite often.
BTW - Going through the thread (thanks to you two for taking me there ;) ), I realized that other agencies than FT were being mentioned all the time (well, naturally, that's what yuri started the thread about) - I don't think that would be tolerated on German FT, even if the point you are making is a positive one for FT. It says explicitly in the forum rools that they don't want other agencies to be mentioned. Which I understand and stick to.
What's it like in the other FT-forums, I wonder?
