Title: Your hopes for best match 2.0....
Post by: shank_ali on February 13, 2009, 14:34

Given up even caring now...
My portfolio has now reached a size  with such diversity that what ever these "faceless  geeks" at HQ decide on all my bases are covered and i WILL get sales.

I do hope new files get a boost in this new best match.
The VIEWS beside my new files are in single numbers........
Seems the inspectors are testing,testing,testing this new best match as K. Thompson mentioned.

I have no hopes. IS is all over the place for me: was going strongly till october, then dropped around 40%, last month had a BME by 30% and this month it looks like I'll be down about 60% (even lower than after october best match change).

It has took awhile ro realise that istock are interested  primarly in  the buyers.
More so since the buy out by Getty i suspect.
We just keep plugging away trying to create an image a designer/buyer might find a use for.
The new B.M 2.0 when live is going to have a massive thread in the forum.
If the contributors are not happy with it do you think istock will listen and change it  ::)
