hey all..
im a contributor at several sites.. SS, DT, Fotolia, DP, 123rf, canstock
im fairly new and im just building my portfolio..my of my sales are on SS. i see steady, daily sales there.

however my biggest portfolio is on DT..228 and building. im wondering why the same portfolio brings such varying results from site to site. im have to assume it has to do with image placement in their search engines..
I'd like to boost my sales at DT since i like they're payout the best and have been advised that acceptance/rejection ratio plays a big role in image search placement.. well this month my im at 87percent acceptance over last month, which was 45percent. but so far my sales are down..not up. any thoughts?

Shutterstock people download images to fill their quota and sometimes they download in thoughts of future usage. So they are not as picky or hesitant to buy images.. Dreamstime and other sights people mainly buy for the need of the image, they don't buy much in hopes of future usage (maybe if they bought a subs package). With such a samll portfolio, you are not going to see consistant results yet.. If you give it time and keep uploading, you will soon see those sales start coming through. most sites besides Shutterstock don't get images sold right out of the gate.

Different stuff sells on different sites too.. You will not have the same results through all sites..
