1000+ images gave me only 6 sales in 2015.
Also, if you have a problem with large previews with insufficient water this is not the place for you.

That is weird. You'll need to contact CR and wait ...
I was wrong about Partner Portal (and have corrected my post above).
I checked back all my green bar sales for the year (I get very few) and they all say Partner Program, so that must be G+.
I don't see anything on my sales for the past year as Partner Portal, so don't know what that means.
(I tried searching partner portal on the iS forum, but no answer; I see where I formed my mistaken impression.)
Thanks for your time anyway. I just discovered I'm not the first one asking about it: http://www.microstockgroup.com/istockphoto-com/partner-portal/msg410140/#msg410140

No, I've never been exclusive. And they all show up as green PP bars.

I've noticed several "Partner Portal: $0.19" sales aside from the usual Thinkstock and Getty360 reported as PP.
Getty 360 is now Getty Plus, and is reported as Partner Portal.
Why do you think your sales aren't part of that?
Because some items are reported as "Getty Images" (Im not exclusive, so that has to be GettyPlus, right?) and some as "Partner Portal". 17/9/2015 Partner Portal: $0.19 1/9/2015 Thinkstock: $0.28 30/6/2015 Getty Images: $8.37 And Partner Portal always seems to be 0,19$.

Does anyone know what they are? Are they from Fotomore?

+ Added pricing configuration window
The window is available in Advanced metadata menu. It allows to set prices for GraphicRiver and Pond5 (it is planned to add other agencies allowing to set the price too).
Default prices will be used if fields are left blank ("set the price for me" checkbox for Pond5; maximal recommended price for GraphicRiver).
Hi Dmitry, is it possible to move that option to the agencies setting? I would like to able to set my own default price, so I dont have to do it again and again for every new file.

I have 1400 images with Zoonar and barely make one payout per year.
I only keyword in English though... Roede-orm probably keywords in German, right?
@Michael: You say you translate keywords before sending the images to the partners. But you probably only add English keywords? Or do you translate from English to German as well?

Thats what support told me:
"I do apologize for that confusion there. My team has given me the latest, which is that since new agreements are not yet available on documents, images will remain exclusive to Getty. Again, sincerest apologies for that miscommunication there as this has been a recent update. Until further notice, please refer to the distribution agreements available on your Market Dashboard and consider images exclusive to Getty."

Why are you not on Fotolia? If you sign up for an european account youll get paid 1 for 1 Credit (as opposed to 1$ if you sign up via the US site). You can use my referral link: http://de.fotolia.com/partner/201206165

Personally I have some photos at 500px and some with other agencies. I've just figured out where each type of photo sells the best. Nuno, can you give us an insiders view of what type of image sells best on 500px? Is it "authentic stock" or "fine art"? Are isolations a no-go? Since you do have an app: Do mobile images sell?

I have been thinking of joining for a long time ... 500px is different from the usual microstock agencies, so I don't think "dumping" my whole portfolio would be a good move - or if I did, I don't think it would sell very well?
What kind of selection should I submit? Only artsy stuff? Everything except "isolated on white" ? Any other limitations?
Very good questions

As usual, the devil is in the details. Is this going to be one of those shady deals where a distributor sells an image for big bucks and we get a sub sale amount?
Why not? They paid the subscriotion price they can resell for whatever they want. We get the sub. I don't like that but what can we do? We have no rights after the API buys the photo and can't dictate what they do with it or how much they sell for. We have no rights on any sale at other agencys either. It can go into a book, on a billboard, newspaper, front page cover of magazine. We get sub pay the buyer gets license value. No I don't like, just pointing out facts. Once buyer, buys we have no control. If they can resell we can't dictate prices.
No, youre not "just pointing out facts". An API cannot "buy the photo". Do you even know what an API is and how it works? And 500px doesnt offer subs.

But it was a bit naive to think that the ride will last forever.
It was VERY naive! I am always amazed how people (who consider themselves very experienced) could seriously expect their income to continue to rise "forever".

and the images are freely downloadable in large resolution without ANY watermark...

I have no earthly idea what the rating system is all about and how it affects sales, but it's nice to be able to find something to compare it to.
It doesnt affect sales - it represents your sales. There are 14650 people who had more sales than you during the last week and 52000 people who had more sales overall.

The submit process for Dreamstime seems to be broken. "Error parsing site".
Anyone else having this problem?

A site needs 50 votes to get an earnings rating.
The sites without an earnings rating are listed in order of what their earnings rating would be if they did have enough votes. That is to say, Stocksy has the highest earnings rating of the sites that don't have 50 votes.
Thanks, Leaf! 50 votes seems quite a lot. How many users do contribute to the poll on average?

I know the agencies without an earnings rating in the poll result list havent received enough votes. (By the way, how many votes are needed?)
But are they in any particular order? By number of votes? Or average earnings?

Their ranking system is a joke. It is INTENDED to control YOUR commissions. Think of the payouts they would have to make to people who keep uploading content if their ranking system were honest. I could never get a high ranking there even when uploading 3,000 images. This system was adopted by Istock and 123 as ways to control commissions. By pushing new contributors they would pay less because they are in the base tier and lucky if they ever hit silver. With all the other scum bag moves FOTOLIA has done I am SOOOOOO HAPPY I am no longer with them. It is also hilarious that Mat is in here inferring that you sell your EL's at a lower price to get more sales. That is every agencie's go to logic when they want you to accept less so they can enjoy more.
Mantis, once again you are proving that you have no clue what you are talking about (despite being oh so experienced)... This topic is about the weekly ranl which is a simple ranking by the number of sales during the last week. It has nothing to do with number of uploads or contributor level.

I have 1000 images up there and earned 38GBP in a year... So you are lucky with your first week sale.
Is FTP now open for everybody?

Ok, thank you. Then it will be fotolia,SS,dreamstime and pond5. Maybe I will include a few others,we will see.
So you are submitting smartphone pictures to their regular collections? Or are they DSLR images just uploaded via smartphone?
