November Numbers have been published
Firn:
Average month for me, a bit lower than what I had expected based on how SS and Adobe performed for me last month.
Noteworthy for me is the complete lack of any sales that earned me more than a few bucks. Also had quite a few refunds, but all for small cent-sales, so they hardly make a difference. Just makes me wonder who bothers to return images he payed a few cents for....
Clair Voyant:
Things could be worse, you could still have your SS account open and get $11.60 for those 116 downloads and that is at 35% hahahaha.

In my pdf:
35 sales 22.5 USD including 3 connect sales?
487 files in connect? Using them for free? 3 in the pdf, one for free, one for 0.04, one for 10.82.
The cool thing is that most of my sales are in the USA. Can't reach this market in SS.

Hard for me to understand as well. My connect sales (did you download that or you can import into a database as a CSV even though it's market .txt) says I have uses in California and Australia, varying from the three for 15¢ to that one for .00012 commission? Most are in the .03 and .003 sets. 3 cent download, or is that 3 cent and a third of a cent uses or views? I still don't understand Connect.
Those are different from the downloads in the other data. I had two of these this month.

That's supposed to be 20% of something? :o

You know that's not true. I'm only level four and my rpd for November on SS was $.64 and I'm hardly a top producer of quality content. Sure the 10c downloads sting, but contrary to people who try to say that's all we get, the numbers are much better. AS is of course much better. Even my bottom end images are making me .90 rpd on Adobe.
Oh kind of back on topic, IS was 36 rpd cents for November.
WendyT:
The way I understand Connect and I could be wrong is that they appear in a slide show of embedded images, depending on how that is done you get a portion of a cent .... there is a page in the contributor portal that explains it better.
But the reality is that Connect sales are not real sales in the true sense of the word except as a cumulative total.

Almost all my connect are from Washington and Bing. My rpd is still a bit higher on SS but... with these sales I can't make money. Not good enough to sale millions of pictures for 0.10 or 0.03.
