No it is not a glitch... Congrats!

I am more concerned that I have the same number of views but not a single sale for days!

328
after a few days/weeks with 8 to 10 sales per day, I am with 0 today, very very unusual... and only 7 hours to go

Same story, my friend!

If this will continue for more than a month, I'll stop to promote DT!

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?

Unfortunately these animals, scum, called football fans are ruining everything. Here's an article about it http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2158272/Euro-2012-Russia-Poland-fans-clash-streets.html

And a video Euro 2012: Croatian Fans Fight With Police Before Match


They were learning from the best "fans" of Western Europe from 70-ties and 80-ties of 20th century.

Obviously Eastern Europe need their Margaret Thatcher to fix that...

Serban once said the forum presence was a factor in the best match.

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?

What is happening there?

From where is that capture?

My "Your images" looks different in "Alamy measures"...

Cro:Irl game saved the day. 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

Ireland wasnt bad at all, kind of surprised actually, that said the referee team wasnt on Ireland side too...

Yeah, a player was off side when they scored the 2nd goal and the ref didn't give them a clear penalty. They're always lucky, just like Italians.


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...

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
I am dying  these days on DT.... Very bad!

338
I was talking about this problem more than year ago, but no one paid much attention to ...
Maybe because I was to lazy to make a table like this...
Thank you Leaf and Lee also!

I'm not Lee.  I suppose I'm anonymous so I could be, but I'm not.  Maybe ;)

But yes, thanks to Lee for raising it on his site.

Ouch! Sorry Grafix!  I was in hurry, didn't see well... Of course, this is your effort, so big thanks...
Sorry again!
All best!

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...

Everything is fine in my microstock world these days.. I don't see reason for drastic measurements!

343
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... :P

346
I also think it would be a disaster for the SS!

Customers want excellent, not "exclusive" photos under their nose...

customers might want exclusive content, hell they do want exclusive stuff, if not how is so much money made on IS by exclusives..

Because search engine...
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...

Veer / Re: Your Veer portfolio on Alamy

For more context here, we are regularly seeking ways to increase sales of your images through new agency relationships such as the one we've recently launched with Alamy.
These agencies offer additional exposure and access to different markets beyond that offered thru Veer.com.

good, but so why not including the best images from Veer in CORBIS rather than begging at Alamy ?

Right question!

In addition to communicating with contributors up front about these things, I would expect that a simple rule that would keep you out of trouble is not to form partnerships with distributors to which Veer contributors can submit directly. Otherwise you're just trying to take a cut out of our income instead of actually increasing the places our images can sell

I just see bunch of new members who want to know does microstock worth of their effort!

Photography isn't primary reason, money is...

Of course, or else you'd only upload to Flickr or similar. No pixel peeping, no rejections: the photograph is all that matters.

Yes! But as first, I was seeking for proof of my quality, not how much can I earn... I think that many of us were doing the same...
I was happy as a little child when I saw my first sale on IS ($0.21)!
For many new members "Time is just a money"...
