My sales MTD is only about half of what it used to be. Wondering if it is just a January thing, just my port or are they hurting a bit? How is your sales so far? 

SS, IS, FT, DT and DP are very good. More Downloads til now than the whole Jan of last year.

But what about 123RF?

Mine are OK - slightly more sales than last year but a lower return per sale.  Had a print EL for $16.63 and getting subs sales for 25 cents at level 2.  Better than December and on pace for a BME if I get another EL.

Sales are half of what they used to be, contrary to my top 3 earners, the rest don't really matter. And I'm getting 10% less in royalties than last year on top of that (I'm at 45%). I'm thinking of closing my account, after all, I've stopped uploading a while ago and now I'm getting more refunds every month that I've gotten on all other sites combined in 3 years :O

Bad 

Mine are pretty darn good.  18% of my total for the month behind SS (44%) and well ahead of iStock at 9%.  Running 40% ahead of Jan 2011, even though the second half of the month will likely beat the first half by a wide margin.  Helps that I just squeaked into level 5 for the year, so I haven't lost any royalty points.

I only check in once a week to have a look, it's too sad.

At which level are you?

Welcome back Charl

DLs on 123 are ok but earnings are totally pathetic - an SS sub looks good in comparison (and there are a hell of a lot more of them).  For comparison, 123 have so far provided > twice the number of DLs that DT has but only 20% of the income.  Dumping them after next payout.

Thank you for the welcome. My DL's and obviously income has dropped. The first might be just co-incidence with my port and obviously the latter we are all feeling.

Photo downloads at 123rf have dried up for me, and I get a pittance whenever a sale does happen.

Video downloads are very sporadic, and regularly end up very under priced for what I should get, for which support like to say it's because of 'promotional credits' or something of the like that they give out.

  2  subs   (3rd  and  11th.)  Not  good  but  they  did  pass  DT  in  numer  of  sales  overall.

So you had 1 sale on DT?

     No  DT  and  123rf  were  tied  with  7  sales.  The  sale  on  the  11th  by  123rf  put  them  at  8-7   over  Dt.

123RF sales are non-existent, last one was over a week ago.

9 sales, 2.99, this month. This is such a sloooooow death for me, I need to wait another 35 dollar before I can get my port down. 

only 12 sales on 123RF- do you think they did a deal with Google?

Why go to the trouble, they are virtually giving our photos away themselves in any case.

for this moth I have 40 sales for 15.36$ (to compare for the December 2012 I had 45 sales for 29.17$). I'm level 2 unfortunately 

It's so bad. I'm thinking of deleting my port from 123rf 

Sales are 30% less of what they have been in january 2012

Where? FAA or 123

Sales at 123 remain truly pitiful despite their promises of great expansion........

Same ass all other places: really bad..

I thought they promised sales would be times 2, not divided by 2 as appears to be the case.
