It doesn't work perfectly well if "only from iStock" means "We have this on istock and TS and Getty, which are all istock families, but only from istock may also mean that it is on Dreamstime who got it in a way that had nothing to do with us".

iPad only from Apple, but sold in many places, sure, but Yuris images, only from istock, sold in many places, is not the same. The ipad is exclusive to Apple, Yuris images are not exclusive to Istock. So its not only from istock, its a lie, they are everywhere.
This wasn't about Yuri. Go back an read the thread and you can see the context of that comment. It was in response to this "Pretty difficult to flaunt the 'Only on iStock' theme if most of the exclusive content is on the PP."

Is it any different is "most of the exclusive content" is on Getty?
I dunno. iStock (actually iStock by Getty Images) isn't really distinct from Getty (or TS for that matter). If they are all the same company what's it matter? I see a problem claiming content that is on other sites as 'only from iStock' but I don't really see any problem if it says 'only from iStock' and it's on Thinkstock. Who does it hurt?

What you are saying is Yes means yes and No means yes.

Right but that was a different issue than what was being talked about before. Two different things that some people have conflated into one.

Yes

@Baldrick - I am not going to speculate about someone else's private business - none of my business and which I know nothing about. I am sorry if you consider that evasive - but it is not intended to be disrespectful.

OK, so are you going to comment on this, which is not about anybody's private business (unless you regard the private business of iStock in selling photo licenses as nothing to do with us), since we have no idea how many agencies or individuals iStock has engaged in "faux exclusivity":

Holy mackerel, woke up to a 42$ jump on IS. I only have about 32 images on IS, and PP is now showing 11 dls for 43$. That changes a whole lot in my perspective.

elilena · « **Reply #59 on:** November 14, 2013, 03:06 »

WOW! Thinkstock rockt!
1 Day PP=1/2 Mon. SS !!! Love it!

Jogga0 · « **Reply #60 on:** November 14, 2013, 03:11 »

So far PP sales up to 22nd Oct are double my BME, with my RPD more than doubling - a pleasant surprise from IS for once!

fritz · « **Reply #61 on:** November 14, 2013, 04:31 »

If I'm lucky I'll end up with four digits Oct PP $. I can't believe!

Monty-m-gue · « **Reply #62 on:** November 14, 2013, 04:34 »

Wow, at this rate PP will knock SS out of the park for October. Am looking at the stats with mild disbelief!

niserin · « **Reply #63 on:** November 14, 2013, 05:38 »

Same for me, the October is my best month ever on Istock.
Could somebody throw some light and explain how the heck it all happens ? Will it last, or is it some experiment ?
If these are mainly partner royalties, where might our portfolios be found ??

Thinkstockphotos or photos.com.
Or ... ?

Another 40 dollar on 2 sales. Thats 83 dollar on 13 PP sales. Sick.

Harvepino · « **Reply #66 on:** November 14, 2013, 06:16 »

So it is not just me

My PP sales are 4x higher than usual and results from last week are yet to come.

I'm willing to share expressions of joy, but I can't believe for one second that iStock's partner quadrupled their sales just like that. Isn't it some numbers play? Why were my sales decreasing steadily for 12 months and SUDDENLY I earn so much more with no new uploads? I'd like to know what happened, why it hadn't happened earlier and whether it is going to last. I love good news... but still... this is iStock.

It could hurt iStock, because it's misleading and could be illegal.

Stupid me, I requested payout, thinking now I will end up in the red... lol. Thats fine, I am not going to pay them back. They can make it back selling my images. If this PP thing is a fluke they can wait 2 years to earn back, what they overpaid me.

Red Dove · « **Reply #69 on:** November 14, 2013, 07:05 »

Not yet 50% of my earnings at the venerable SS for October but nonetheless I am impressed and hope this means they have finally got their arse in gear.

My flabber is well and truly gasted.

PS. RPD is 0.85

BaldricksTrousers · « **Reply #70 on:** November 14, 2013, 07:06 »

The PP earnings per sale are way up and with some very significant sums thrown in, even so I think you have struck very lucky on that, Ron. My RPD is coming in close to $1, I suspect your $6 average is going to be quite exceptional.

Paulfleet · « **Reply #71 on:** November 14, 2013, 07:09 »

Any one got pp sales for after the 25th?

I'm not having high value downloads like those. I'm just having hundreds and hundreds of sales. At this moment I believe I'll have close to the double of sales when comparing to last month, but the most interesting is that the average value per download has gone from 0.48 to 0.80.

I'm really puzzled by what's happening. Could these be due to the discovery of a glitch in the system that have withhold royalties from other months?

MisterElements · « **Reply #73 on:** November 14, 2013, 07:33 »

I'm very happy with the Oct 2013 PP on IS!

Ron · « **Reply #74 on:** November 14, 2013, 07:36 »

I wonder why no one is reporting the sales on the IS forum, its really quiet over there, people reporting a bad month.
