Dreamstime.com / Re: Closing DT account« on: June 20, 2012, 08:46 »I think today is a unique example for me at DT. Usually sales are pretty average lately, but today less than half what I would normally make on a recent weekday. I checked my search positions and don't see anything amiss. Might be some sort of technical issues. Yes! My number of views is average as usual, but without a single sale for a six days! Maybe is a glitch? 331

I asked today on the DT forum, why I haven't even a single sale for last 5 days? Asked that on another maybe similar topic, no reason to open new, because "Search algorithm" topic is closed express... My post is deleted and Achilles put an answer in comment of my last approved photo: "Please do a search on the message boards, this was explained several times, even today.Thank you" P.S. If today is problem with contributor exposure what will be for year or two? Where are levels, downloads, views and other usual valuated conditions in this kind of marketing? 333

At least some decent footy, a few goal, attacking, not just defending and/or passing the ball in the middle of the pitch most of the time No, no, no! Ireland's player kicked the ball just before Mandzukic shoot for that goal... That was not offside! Italians are lucky, that is sure, but Croatia is opposite story, remember Quarter finals with Turkey on last Euro... 336
General Stock Discussion / Re: DT way up today... Anyone else?« on: June 08, 2012, 08:51 »I actually did quite well last month there, but things sort of stopped the last few days keeping it from being a BME and it has been mostly just a few subs since. More than any other site DT seems to run hot and cold. My tap is barely running cold right now, but hopefully it will start flowing again soon. Same here! Is there any topic on their forum about this? 337

iStockPhoto.com / Re: What are your experiences after becoming exclusive (in 2011/2012)?« on: June 04, 2012, 01:31 »
IS for example makes 25% (average cca) of my monthly earnings... 75% is coming from other agencies...
So I need to make three times more as an exclusive only to be on some kind of "positive zero"... I haven't heard that someone is making 3x more on just one agency after becoming an exclusive contributor... ![]() Most of them are exclusives from the early start... 342

Shutterstock.com / Re: Possible contributor exclusivity after IPO; how I'd imagine it« on: May 27, 2012, 14:37 »
I don't see any reason what can be benefit of exclusivity for mainly subscription site... Does it is mean more money to exclusive contributor, less in agency pocket...?
Also, from customer's point of you, there is no difference if image is from ex. or non-ex. ,in microstock world. Every exclusivity is always threat for us non-ex. contributors... Because every agency probably would prefer to reduce our part of earnings, not their, to reward the exclusivity ..... 344

I do not see any reason why a customer would like to have an image from any exclusive microstock contributor (or just exclusive image in microstock)...
Because microstock (RF) doesn't have exclusive base... 345

Search engine with "exclusive content" in forumula is not natural...
And it is in confrontation with its true nature why search engine exist... ![]() 346

But what can be exclusive in microstrock from costumers point of view? Image on just one agency...! So what, if anyone can buy the same image. I don't see any reason why anyone from buyers might want exactly exclusive image from some microstock agency! Macro and RM is different story... So my opinion is that any kind of forcing exclusivity over relevancy/quality is step back from customer view... 347
