Koufax73,
If you try now, they should be in order of upload date. Previously they were being ordered a bit differently if doing a photographer only search, organized by newest.
Cheers,
Duncan
Thanks again but... It doesn't work. I see again as more recent images of one or two months ago. But maybe it is my mistake.

Duncan, sorry, but I'm back...
I've sorted for "recency" and I've find that my newest images are in the middle of older photos, actually at page 5.
Normally it isn't a big problem, but you know, with Christmas (images) coming...

Thank you very much Duncan, and sorry if I made some question directly related to Fotosearch instead of CanStock. But I have no questions about CanStockPhoto: I'm happy as it is... (ok, I'd like to see some more sale but I'm hopeful for the future  )

Hello Duncan, I have a problem and a couple of questions. First, the problem. If you link to this: http://www.fotosearch.com/CSP244/k2447056/ you can see one of my images, or... half of it, because the upload was bad. Can you delete it? Can you also control that other images weren't given the same treatment? Second question: I have 1648 images approved on CanStockPhoto. How can I have 3278 images on fotosearch? From what other sites do you take images? Third and last: I have sorted my images for recency, but the most recent is from some month ago. When do you put online more recent photos? And why sorting by relevancy the photos that jump first are also the older ones? Ok, these are actually four questions Thank you very much

ShutterStat - is a Google Chrome extension that represents your Shutterstock per-image statistics in more handy and useful way.
There is no need to enter your account password anywhere. Simply run this extension when you are in your account. Shutterstat will open all statistics pages collecting data and then show the results. You can use filters to select group of images to analyze their summary income and efficiency.
PS: sorry for my English 
Useful.

Ups... I didnt see the date... But things are always the same, and reviewers always worse

For what it's worth, DT's rejections have gotten really strange for a lot of people (just search this forum and others).
+1 or maybe +2 Lost 30% of approval rating from August to September-October

Not sure if it still works like that, but the last time I checked (years ago) it was enough to delete browser cookies to reset the upload limit.
However, I am more concerned about my "downloads" limit - which is set to zero
 For me, Dead Site Walking...

I know that Cresock has been bought, but I still don't see a bright future for them.
And FeaturePics: I'm surprised they're still open for business.
Don't know also how to interpretate last moves by MostPhotos. Maybe financial crisis on the horizon?

Usually I've been severe against Veer, because of slowness in selection of images and batch rejections.
But lately I have to admit they're making the right steps (or maybe I'm a little bit influenced by the Dash for Cash thing: I am still not used to get money only for the fact I've had images accepted...)
Anyway, in the last days I've had some very good sale, one EL, and I see things are moving.
Hope that it's not for short time, like it happened in the past.

Judging from my small stock experience , agencies are their own biggest enemies , not the competition . Market leaders are simply a product of less blatant mistakes rather than good calls . Sometimes I really get the impression of a business managed by kids
I totally agree. And also with Sharpshot. And I add: I had ten sales March-July. Come August: stricter control on images, many rejections, zero sales.

DP has recently become more strict than DT for similar images . Basically you can't submit more than one image per subject , you have to choose one angle and either horizontal or vertical version , you can't have both . Personally I find it ridiculous when relatively low earners are rejecting images accepted by SS , FT and DT ( and in this case all the other stocks ) .
Anyone else noticing that or people don't even bother to check the acceptance of their images on DP ?
Same here. And also a lot of "composition problem". Problems that other much important sites don't see at all.

Independent forever.
This is completely unrelated to the recent events at IS - which are just a confirmation of what I've always been thinking: it's too dangerous to be exclusive anywhere.
The only downside of being independent is a lot of additional work.
Financially, I think it's possible to earn more by submitting to many sites.
Furthermore, it's important for me to feel FREE.
>won't istock see a much smaller growth in new contributors henceforth?
not sure about that: as long as IS is among the top 4 sites, most contributors will join despite low commissions
+1 Absolutely on the same line of thought. And one thing I still don't know and don't understand. How do we can considerate stock agencies, from a mere commercial standpoint? Are they our agents? Our commercials distributors? Or are they our special kind of customers? The question makes all difference in the world. In many ways, I think that stock agencies are our customers much more than the buyers (where in the world you sell to a buyer who you don't know, you don't talk and you never have a direct contact?) And if they are customers, why do I have to "sell" to one single customer, rather than many? If the customer, let's say, ends his money, what will I do then?

Last night I received a mail from Ryan of Contributor service: they think the "zero" sales are not real sales but only a bug (I'd prefer it was an EL with too many zero to bear for their servers, but...).
I think it's fair to add that I actually had one "real" sale (1,05 $, no champagne here) yesterday.
Thanks to Ryan & Brian, hope that the new wave of communication with contributors continues like that.

Now what . is going on there? What's with these 0.0$ sales???
I'd like to know. Still waiting for an answer. But if they answer fast like they review images, maybe they'll answer next year, March or April.

After months of zero sales, friday I finally had a sale on Veer. But me too for 0,00 dollars.
I've contacted support about that, but I'm still waiting for an answer.

Same for me.
Seems to be that the Veer dashboard is just adding up sales for a bit less than a year. In my case two sales (each $0.20) are missing from July 29 and July 31 in 2009 (my first two sales there).
You can still see them when you choose the date accordingly and display the sales as table, but they will not be included in the total in the dashboard.
A bit strange I would say...
Same here

Stupid question but, there were no monitors in the pic, right? (to me it sounds like a picture of a laptop or something where you glue'd another image on..?)
Ah, that totally makes sense now. koufax73 didn't mention what the image was. But he is also saying that they rejected 50+ images using that rejection.  Something's wacky.
I'm sorry, my fault. The rejections of the "monitors" were only related to a series of photos in wich I put a picture inside a monitor of a laptop. The others images rejected had only a similar, but not the same, motivation.

What does that even mean? By "monitors" do they mean reviewers? If so, then by sending your images to the reviewers it will spoil your images for the customers? That is an actual rejection notice you got from Veer? I would really like to hear what that means.

Exactly the rejection note, word by word.
