Title: Highest Downloads per Month
Post by: Bateleur on October 08, 2007, 04:27
Just out of interest ... what is your highest 'Download per Month' for an image on iStock at the moment?

My best image is currently running at 21.5

91.7  ,  it's sold 450 times since the beginning of June and accounted for one in seven of my sales last month.
I once had one at 124 but it got killed by a best match change just after it reached blue flame and now sell a few times a week.

Wow! That's amazing. Congratulations.

91.7 ... I must admit that I'm a little jealous now. :D

My current best one is at 25.9, and my all time bestseller is at 21.1 ...

17.0, and it has been hovering just below 20 since it was uploaded in February.

Mine is the lowest highest so far, just 11.9.  I seem to have lots of photos that sell a few times a month, rather than a few that sell lots of times a month.  What I want is a lot of photos that sell lots of times each month :)

Mine is currently at 68.8. If you search for animal with best match it is the second image. Thats why the number is so high I guess. I do not know why I made it up there as I am not exclusive with IS. But they probably will change it soon. Last week it was not up there, two weeks ago it was there the first time, thats when I got plenty of downloads up to 10 a day for that image. But I do hope it will stay there for the next half year :-)

Great image! And I've got a pretty good idea why you made it up there. It's an enormously topical image ... global warming ... the plight of the polar bear ... and it's well-executed too.

But how did you get the polar bear to jump in when you'd finished, and a penguin climb out on to the same ice floe?   ;D   And which part of our world were you in, anyway?

My best is currently at 84.5. It shows up fairly low (63rd place) on a generic Best Match search, where I have five images ahead of it, so it may soon be usurped. I hope.

I have one with 44.7, only 21 photos online so that particular photo has earned more than 2/3 of my earnings.
