Sadly for me it's been since I created my account... and I have several thousand files!
no position just means 0 sales... 
Yes I figured that out at the start of the week. I mean it does say week...  Now I know better.
Rank that matters Site Earnings Rating Top Tier - Big 4 Shutterstock 74.5 AdobeStock 40.1 iStock 26.4 Pond5 22.3 SS down, AS up, IS down, P5 up. AS will pass SS, P5 will pass IS. Question is how fast? 2020

This is what you can do.
a) Don't submit to them
b) Figure out a way to prevent image theft
c) Submit to them, and don't worry about the people who will just take the images, because there will be people who need larger images. (Not all images are used "just" for website design/etc).
Answer to b is a, only right answer is either a or c?

Yup its spamming and a way of getting more than the maximum 50 keywords.
But personally I no longer give a sh*t what SS allow or do or don't do as a so called agency they lost it years ago.
They don't care and I refuse to care too
Rant over 
But it's not a rant if it's true.

A very sensible and measured analysis Alex.
I think you perservered long and hard with this with no reward.
I makes me angry that SS really show no gratitude or wherewithall to solve the problem. 
Well said. If SS doesn't keep up maybe there's a way to continue in private.

I had some sales at pond5. But it's my lowest microstock seller.
What are your others, that would be information of how Pond5 ranks.

Good advice is don't put the same question here, deviant art and videomaker with same words pasted. We will know you are spam.

I am very happy with an email I received today:
christiano, you've made a sale!
Your commission $ 94.05
My biggest sale so far (contributor for 1 year and a half).
I hope to have many other messages like this one!
Conguratulations Cristiano !
I wonder are you an exclusive contributor in Adobe Stock ?
There aren't exclusive on adobestock.

Forget it. Customers do not appear to search using copyspace words.
For my first few years at microstock (exclusive at iStock) I always included copyspace, copy, space, copy-space etc as I believed these words were important.
Then in October 2012 or thereabouts iStock changed their search algorithm, Suddenly all my photos with copyspace words disappeared from searches that included those words. I wrote to istock about this and they replied to say that the new search placed priority on the top most popular words for each file, and that copy, space etc never came into the top seven (or rarely). I asked them again and they replied again to say that according to their records there is absolutely no evidence that customers search using the copyspace words.
When I became non-exclusive after a while I could see at Shutterstock, 123RF etc the most popular words used for searches. At SS using the 'most popular' listing not one of my thousands of files show copy, space or any derivative in the top three keywords. My keyword cloud at 123RF has never included those words (I believe they show the top fifty or so.
Nowadays I don't include those words in any of my files.
Interesting. But I recently read an article in 500px where they firmly encouraged to include that keyword...
You asked, because you don't know. We answered and now you want to argue? Use it if you want don't if you don't.

"Key features on Fotolia are now limited. You have already synced your account and are all set."
Fotolia stats are no longer available as of today. High time to learn, move to, and accept Adobe look.
Both disappointing news I hope this is to make the information on AS.

Im probably late to this discussion, but a recent post by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) explains the science in very simple terms
https://t.co/LDqfq4JH9n
Does that explain why warming makes things colder?
Yes, the picture explains it perfectly.
No it doesn't did you read the article? NOAA explains why there are wetter storms and more snow. The tea kettle doesn't explain why the polar vortex is colder. The picture also shows a noreaster storm coming off the east coast of the US, not a polar vortex. Nothing to do with cold or cold from the pole. Read and see more snowy winters are less frequent from global warming not more frequent, except off the ocean. If you don't understand science and can't read, you are going to believe anything that supports your politics but you don't understand at all.

I wish they can combine AdobeStock design with fotolia stats !
I know some people like the stats and they are already there on FT, which leads me to think they will be added in time. The system is already working at FT the same links for the same data should be easy to add. Adobe already added interface that's better, more modern for keywords, submission and other features. Sales are more important then watching rank and views.

You will be paid in Wemark Tokens, buyers will pay in tokens using smart contracts. Tokens will go up and down in value. I don't know how we'll set a price if the price of tokens changes all the time? Unless we set the price in currency and the Wemark site converts that to token value.

I use fotolia because adobestock don't have thoses features yet. There's more info easily available at fotolia for contributor. My rank, (is it gonna stay ? I hope so), weekly rank, latest sold, best sellers ... etc ... I need those features and it's missing in adobestock.
You didn't find the Insights page, my statistics. Sales in order of latest, graph, earnings, downloads, activity. Pick dates to see month, daily, annual sales. I'd like to see sales for best seller and history totals for images like you. We need a sort for making collections and editing. What use does weekly rank do for sales or help?

Any Luck on this yet? maybe change the title to be about Fotolia/ Adobe now so Matt sees it?
The image I have reported was deleted today (and also some images that others I have managed to contact reported) but the portfolio is still online.
It's pretty disappointing to see people can get away so easily with this kind of "practice" .
I PM-ed Matt but he just told me to file the DMCA.
Doesn't make sense when they know the account is selling stolen vectors, then they only remove when someone files DMCA. You would think Adobe would care more than that. Fail to close account says they just want the money and don't care about us. Who do I wrote? I know Matt will stand up for us, I need someone higher up who should get 1000 angry emails.

Call MI-5 and report the disappearance is over. Notify the NSA you haven't been removed by a covert action. Phone SVR to tell them we are all safe from attack. The website was just down for almost an hour.

I think we can safelty assume agencies like SS and Adobe will NEVER go back to its shall we call good days, hey days if you know what I mean. Right now there are two agencies being launched next month.
They are governed by people with huge experience and its 50/50 split with contributors. These are agencies who will gear themselves towards the creative buyers, designers, ad-agency people etc, etc and not to be mistaken for pic off the peg outfits.
Keep your eyes open it might be something who knows?
Eyes open this I want to see happen if truth.
