Title: IStock commission pattern
Post by: dbvirago on November 27, 2006, 20:37

Not sure what to think or if this is associated with new partnership agreements.

For weeks most of my sales at Istock were at .60 or $1. Now the last dozen or so are all .20. Anyone else getting this?

No, my average has been the same. $0.67ish.

Slightly lower than usual.  Yesterday 40c average when it is normally more like 50c.  Must be a lot of people working on web pages.

Overall, the average commission on my portfolio has increased since the latest changes @ IS (when they went international, they introduced tags, and they changed the search engine all at the same time).

But the download sizes have come and gone in waves:  Some days I get lots of large downloads, and some days I get lots of small downloads.

Most of my sales at IS are 20c, but in fact this month has been a bit better, with more 60c dlds.

Sounds like it's just a fluke then. Seemed odd, last 10 days 80% of sales were for .20. Previous 10 days it was 30%.

Overall the avg is 50% of sales are .20

My gross per month keeps growing so no complaints on that end.
