It has happened many times before. It has no shadows right?  If you have cropped off all of the white space then it should have been accepted if all else is well with the image such as WB/lighting and focus. Resubmit with a note to the reviewer explaining that it is ISOLATED (meaning no shadows) and that it can be easily lifted and used in any composition by a designer in need of an isolated shot because composition plays no role in an isolation because the designer can choose any composition that they want. Has happened to me many time and is irritating because of the crap you have to go through to re submit it and start all over.

Any shot you might see in microstock is a regurgitation of something that has been done to death decades ago in ads or hundreds of years ago in art,  And you believe this?

So true, so true. Some people just troll the forums for concepts and best sellers so they can copy and steal. Why, some read and write on the SS forums and then steal from their "friends" best sellers, over and over.
And JPSDK. Or people who only upload the one or two best shots from each shoot. But that's not good for bragging rights like some want. "I have #### images on agency X." (pound chest and hope people are impressed) Don't mention that 100 are the same tomato cut, sliced and diced and re-arranged in 100 different ways. 
Let me restate my opinion. It's not how many photos you have, it's the quality and content of those photos. That's the answer. IMHO
Well Ron, the answer to your question is burried in your own port and stares you right in the face.
Which 90% of your pictures would you delete if you had to?
Really had to.
??
The guys who earn a lot on a few photos are the guys who deleted.
The guys who earn much with few photos do not upload photos that need to be deleted. I can think of a few with that type of port, however I would never expose them to the copiers who would love to plagiarize.
Really Hobostocker?
travel images selling like hotcakes ? ? ?
only the few ones with the typical "postcard" look sell decently and it's not gonna come cheap to produce, a realistic budget is AT LEAST 100$/day in western countries and good luck with expensive cities in scandinavia or UK or Australia & NZ.
$100 won't get you a cot in a flop house, a cup of coffee for breakfast and cover the expenses until Noon. LOL
Traveling always costs about four times more than staying at home. Although some people who pack light, backpack, take a bike or stay at hostels, do make it places for much less than even a cheap budget minded person like myself.
Most of the sites do not support that type of activity. They take action if they find contributors culling HCV ports for best selling images and replicating them. Most people do not complain but they should, because 9 times out of ten the sites will pull the offending images.
Threads that start with show your or who makes are a dead give away. Look at the port of the thread starters a few months later and quite often you will find copies of best selling images from many ports.

I am sure we all have images that, for some reason, just don't appear in searches.
What happens if we delete them, and then resubmit? Does this hurt or help?
As well, what about rekeywording? I have learned a bit and would like to change keywords. Is this easy to do on some sites or is it better to delete and then resubmit.
Any thoughts on this?

365 days a year divided by 12 months in a year equals 30.416666 days per month average so then we now take $3000 and divide that by 30.416666 and we get $98.630139 per day so if someone is at the top tier of .38 cents then they are selling 259.55299 images per day.
If that is from a port of 500 image that is half their port each day is selling.
Now I know I didn't calculate OD, SOD, EL, footage etc but there is no way to know that, all you can do is a rough estimate but still that is dam good right there.

Oh, and if you haven't found a good chiropractor, I highly recommend getting one. Regular chiropractic adjustments and massage have helped me A LOT!
Yes Chiros are great and you will find that some of the little problems you have will go away after a visit.

Anyone wanting or thinking about working in NY already knows what they are in for or they will have found out real quick by WOM (word of mouth) and one simple trip there.
To work in the Big Apple and make the cash that can be made!
Then the trick is to just live outside where the COL (cost of living) is inexpensive and make sure you dont need to rely on PT (public transportation) to get to and from.
Find your route and your backways around about in case of traffic delays and detours that will be needed every now and then especially during the spring to fall times when the tourists are arriving from everywhere.
You can make a good living working in the city and living just outside of it as long as you can put up with the everyday occurrences that will pop up.
There are always going to be good and bad points to working anywhere you just need to weigh them out.

Samsung and sharp are world leaders in large screen TV's and Samsung is branching out further and advancing their cell phone technology even more. The new S5 will not only have a better newer processor and a 16MP camera it will also have and be the only cell phone that will be capable of producing 4K video that rivals what the Go Pro has. The megapixel count these days is largely irrelevant, but the hardware's ability to process and take pictures should be considered a much larger part, and Samsung has managed that well. And so far in the microstock world Samsung and Iphones are the cell phones that have image quality that is capable of passing image reviews on many sites. So the Tech is going to change all around us as we technologically advance at a more rapid rate then ever before. http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s5-1226990/review#articleContent

You can write a portion of the space in the house used for the business, a portion of internet, phone, transportation and more.
