Suddenly I had my worst week at Fotolia in many, many months after a long period of regular and constant sales. Dls and earning close to zero. Someone had the same drop?

Weird, me too. This month was going strong for me at FT with daily downloads but that came to a dead stop on the 19th. They had moved into #2 earner slot but with this dead spot SS is back to #2. Anybody else?

for the past few days FT has been really slow for me too I hope that is  a temporary situations.

Everything at FT is normal for me.

I have been having a really slow time for a while, my relative rank hasn't been higher than 1200 for the last 3 weeks! but I have had a couple of downloads today so maybe the tide has turned!

normal week for me this month - 10 dls this week, I wish it have been so from the start. I did not have 10dls in first two months Sep and Oct 2007. Now I am proudly 3 downloads away from bronze level 

Yeah! a quiet enough week for me also - plenty of views though!

I think I've been having less sales, though at higher prices.

I had my rant the other day, and have been not real happy with ft but with a surge of l/xl/xxl sales last two days I've gone from a pretty low month to just hit bme. waiting to see what the ranking puts me

hmm....  I mentioned low sales at LO then had 3 sales in the next day. I mentioned that I think i'm doing well if I get 5 sales for 1 image in a day on ss, then the next day had one with 17 and one with 11 (and my best day in 3 months)

I've got it!!!!, My sales are linked to my comments here!!! I need to complain about a site here and then my sales go up.  happened 3 times so far.  right here we go bloody StockXpert, bloody istock, ...

hope things pick up for you too

FT same as always for me. 'O' dl per day is my norm

Well, I hope it works for us too: We were having a great month for the first three weeks, BME by a long way...then on Monday hit a wall...sales have almost stopped everywhere....
Anyone else want to join in:-D

Great month for me at Fotolia.  Will be another BME.

BME for me too. Last 2 days in particular were record in sales. Today is a bit slow, only 3 sales so far....

Even more weird, the day I replied here about this I started getting regular downloads again. FT is doing good this month minus the dry week. It's tied for 2nd place with SS and every month continues to have a BME.

This has been a terrible month for me at FT. I dropped more than 2,000 places on the 7 day ranking, so I guess others are doing OK.

How do you find out where you are on the ranking?

Overall rank     447
7 days rank    577

The other day I sold 12 image, the last few I sold just one each.  I think I make more money off of referrals on FT than off of my own actual sales...it fluctuates.

When you are logged in, you can see it on the left side in My info section under your credits and such. These are mine...

Overall rank     13032
7 days rank    2440

Fotolia is really hit and miss for me, but I am slowly getting better and better with the ranking, so I guess that is good.  This week has been one of my better weeks.

I have much  better sale this month compared to others without specific rank change (overall 22, 7 days 17). I haven't upload much this month.

6 sales today after 2 days with only 3 sales...it fluctuates also for me.

what is ranking? I've haven't had a sale there since I joined in Dec of 07

Thanks

Ok I understand the ranking now. since I haven't had a sale I'm the white

My ranking is currently:
Overall rank 1262
7 days rank 2070

I've been having less sales, but higher earnings per sale.  A proof that there is room for microstock agencies to increase prices.
