I have an image that showed on the downloads first page and also on the best match first page. Now it is on the 6th best match page. I have checked all images on the first best match  page - they all belong to exclusives. I think IS  was not doing great lately and they do not want to hurt exclusives. At our expense ....

I don't think all the exclusives would agree, check this thread:

As far as I can tell, the change moved some of the newer images forward in the search results and some of the older images back. My best seller is still being downloaded but not as much as before :-\

It's just the oppssite. Slots system seems to be dissapeared.

The start of this month was looking good and then they fiddle with the best match again.  I much prefer the way DT does it.  I have a nice steady sales growth there.  istock earnings fluctuate far too much and it would drive me crazy if I was exclusive.
