Perhaps One Theory is ... SS knows and documents those who Whine and Cry and Bitch all the time and only turn off THOSE galleries while others who Praise SS for all the AMAZING GOODNESS they do get Special Super Duper Advertising to help their sales! Or then again, it could be that Some of US (namely me) advertise my SS Gallery in other ways and have record months in sales almost every month! But than again I could be lying about it to throw some of you off my trail of tears for such low and non existent sales that others Whine and Cry about on a Daily Basis! Or then again, I could be Lying about Lying and its all a big fat fib to keep you guessing which way is nq/up? or is it the other way around? Who's to know?

And one other known fact is what I stated. My sales "used to be fairly consistent", now they are like a roller coaster. Why? I am merely speculating that it's due to them tweaking the dials, but I could be wrong.
But it's also interesting that a lot of people on here are constantly reporting BMEs at SS. Obviously, that will normally be the case for newbies, for a certain amount of time, but some aren't newbies.
IS exclusives moved to SS. Ron makes $7200 a year now. New people join with good cameras and photo experience. All of that takes some money from the old. Was there some promise from SS they would always have your old pictures from 7 years ago on top of the search? Did they say your old small shots would always be ranked first because the sold good in 2009. The search changed. 30M new pictures were added. And people wonder why they don't make as much on the same pictures they took 7 years ago? Do you have a new camera? How many since you start. Why should buyers stay with the old out of date stale pictures?
Is that All? Who is Ron anyways? I aint sain nutin

I too have had issues with Liars on Caf Press saying they took (and were selling) My Dog photos of Fifi the Bichon Frise.
Caf Press did take care of the issue.
Contact them directly
I hate Thieves and Liars!
May they all boil in hot guano for all eternity (along with a few select other people whom we wont mention here)

I'm an author, and I'm wondering if you guys know why it's so difficult to find non-white male models. There are hundreds of white models... but I'm having a heck of a time finding an african male model who fits with my story (mixed race, younger, handsome, serious.)
If you have any tips where to find that sort of stock, I'm open. I'm willing to pay more for the right image, but if I'm completely honest, really my budget dictates I only license images from sites like DepositPhotos. I've looked into getting custom shoots, or licensing photos from photographers, but I can't afford hundreds or thousands of dollars for a very limited use license.
So, in the end, I'm just wondering why non-white models are so difficult to find on microstock sites. All my author friends talk about this all the time. We'd be snapping up pics that feature non-white models and couples.
I have a ton of Good Looking Black and African American Male (and female) models here http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtml?lang=en&language=en&ref_site=photo&search_source=search_form&version=llv1&anyorall=all&safesearch=1&search_tracking_id=KP6pfI5rmyHf0Ibfh-AiqA&searchterm=black+guy&show_color_wheel=1&orient=&commercial_ok=&media_type=images&search_cat=&searchtermx=&photographer_name=mikeledray&people_gender=&people_age=&people_ethnicity=&people_number=&color=Hopefully you can find what you need in my gallery Let me know if you have a Specific look or need, I may already have it or be able to shoot it for you on spec. Thank Mike
