Well...Does it improve sales ?

I don't think this new earning table was meant to improve your sales. Thats up to you with better and more images. The earning table is meant for better overview of earnings.

Dumc, they added that now, no need for a script

That's true, what I liked about that script was, that it was automaticaly refreshing map and reporting sales on the left side of the page. You didn't have to refresh whole page.

Yeah, unfortanely that script doesnt work anymore.

Too bad, I loved it.

Don't bother. I doubt they read this forum.

This site use to be a very good place for professionals that truly wanted to educate themselves and others. Even Yuri would visit it occasionally.
Now it is nothing more than a bunch of crybabies! A complete waste of cyberspace!

Here are some of the most common cries-complaints:
1.   They �REJECTED� my image. How dare they do that! 99% of the time your image just sucks and you cannot handle the truth.
2.   I use to make much more money than now. Yeah, like when there were only few hundred artists but now there are hundreds of thousands of artists that you cannot handle a thing called competition.
3.    No matter how hard I try I cannot improve my sells- don�t you realize that just maybe you don�t have the talent required for this business.
4.   I don�t like the newer version of the company uploader or interface. Okay, go out and create your own company if you know it all.
5.   I don�t like what Company X pays me. Than close your account and stop complaining.
6.   I am not getting any sales on Company X.  Duh, the �Buyers� don�t like your images.
7.   A lot of discussions end up in some insulting political form. My wife is from an Eastern bloc country thus the majority of your businesses not doing well is entirely her people�s fault.
My final advice, if you truly feel it is buyers and companies fault for your poor images not selling than sell your camera and get a day time job instead of complaining on this site!

You forgot to add: It's 2nd of the month already. Why haven't I received payment from SS yet?

What I dislike with new earning table is, that when you go to Insight/Image gallery stats, you can't sort images by date uploaded and see what keywords were used for download, or, how many times new images have been downloaded. I mean is it so hard to add that option or what? It's disaster.

Yes, it was over time, but I'm sure some of the keywords were used in a single search.

I got email today. Link worked fine with me. Although, I was able to login yesterday already, with my iStock username and password.

Looks like their new head of IT should spend more time with his family too.

Same here

I did a little experimenting, plus looking at which of my images supposedly have "good" discoverability versus "poor" and you need at least 40 of 50 keywords to get the good rating.

I have lots of images with over 30 keywords (some because Alamy used to split multi-word keywords up) and tried adding a category, or location, or information to the caption to see if it would make an image "good" and those seemed to make no difference.

I hope that their notion of good vs. poor doesn't affect search position because if you have the important keywords for an image, that's more important than getting the numbers up.

41 keywords (relevant - just!), 100 supertags and all relevant boxes ticked - still poor discoverability. Just 47 of my 2000 or so images rate as 'good'.

I just hope discoverability does not mean what it sounds like it means ie the chances of a buyer discovering an image and then - hopefully - buying it. If it does, then we're doomed, I say.........doomed.....lost in the swamp of undiscoverable and forgotten images........jolly dee.......

Where do you see this "discoverability"? Is this only with new system?

At Bickstock I get 30 Cent per image, at Alamy 10 Dollar, for one and the same image. If any Alamy buyer finds out, that my images are 30 Cents, he or she will always buy from Bigstock.
This is my idea...

I've sold two images for 100$ net at Alamy last year and both are avaliable cheaper at other agencies. So, yes, some will go and buy from cheaper sites and some will not.

Ok, thanks for anwsers.
