What does this mean?

Look here.

Still dont understand a bloody thing? congrats anyway!

yeah, I've been watching that list too. 

I'm not sure how long I'll hold on to 9th place but I'll enjoy it while I can (and enjoy trying to catch up to 8th and 7th).  I was once on Dreamstime's top 10 list too.. now who knows where I am.  Far down for sure.

What's crazy is SolarSeven has 3.5% the number of images that I do and is right behind me, breathing down my next at 10th place.  Talk about a tight portfolio.

Here is a link for the confused.

Yeah SolarSeven has some amazing stuff, but keep in mind that the paw changes colour based on your total sales on Envato Marketplace. There are more graphic items in that portfolio than photos (many of which are nice PS work too), and graphics does sell better, plus Graphic River was open before PhotoDune.  If you look at the big picture though the number of sales is mostly proportional to number of files, with some slight variations.
I don't seem to get a grasp of a tight but very selleable portfolio, I can sometimes predict what will sell, but half of the time it surprises me. I wish I could upload half of the files and get the same result:)

The DT rank site (http://www.dtrank.com) became password protected and there has never been any contact info on it.

Have you ever done a whois search on who owns that domain? I was surprised

haha, yeah me too

It's a small world after all.   (Great scraping, bad CSS, what's the password?  )

bad CSS?  There's no CSS.

That's what I meant. I admired the site from the start, even wanted to write a front last summer. It's certainly a hit and the scraping is very well done (It was actually a compliment).

I'm a bit late here but congrats on the achievement Elena!

Thanks:) It feels nice to be a part of Envato community. Very refreshing to have a new agency that not only listens and collaborates honestly with the authors, but is good at selling images, too. I wish you a lot of success:)

Some interesting stats there. There are only 2048 photographers with over 1000 images. There are 8821 (45%) Contributors who haven't reached payout. I know that many of the 8821 will probably be newbies with small ports, but many of those would have all but given up but left their images there (which is what a lot of those I refer do). Nice little earner that, for the agencies.
