My top five sellers at IS are 24.2 16.3 8.8 7.7 and 5.9 dls/month.
Lou, are any of top sellers landscapes?

Brian, is it possible to
- not include submission bonus in royalty stats? It makes this graph absolutely unusable
- have any way to get sale statistics based on normal time periods (days/months), not weeks?
We do have some changes in the works for the Statistics page, from Brian's post above:
Site development in the works for an upcoming release:
Improvements to the contributor upload interface and statistics/royalty display.
- Clear indication of lifetime earnings vs unpaid balance
- More logical timeframe choice (no more weeks!)
- Tweaks to the upload interface to make it even better
Yep, I missed this. So second concern is going to be addressed. I hope the first one will get there too - with big bonus showing as a single purchase I have very little hope to see anything on the royalty graph anytime soon (regular purchases will be lower than monitor resolution  )

Just a suggestion: buy _any_ cheap and light monopod, like http://www.amazon.com/Opteka-MP100-Photo-Video-Monopod/dp/B0002RBQO0/It is cheap enough to throw it away later if either you do not like shooting with monopod or want to upgrade to something good. (edited to remove link to canon monopod with very baaaad unchangeable ballhead)

Arian, could you please explain what is the exact meaning of "high resolution" in "Remove my high resolution pictures from subscription plan"?

I've just had a lot of sales elsewhere, particularly at 123, DT and FT which is unusual for this time of the week. Is this a coincidence or have buyers already switched to another side? Anyone else notice an increase in sales at other agencies?
Interesting. I know that with my volume it is extremely minor sign, but I see sudden DT increase (first time I see - ahead of SS). Buyers, way to go!

My (pessimistic) prediction: the noise all over internet will drastically raise search ratings of IS. This will compensate for loss of contributors and some buyers and allow to raise prices. A lot of contributors will (silently) come back to IS - at least those for whom it is business, and money is what matters.  Added: Alexa data for percentage of traffic directed from search engines: Period Percent of Site Traffic Last 30 days 17.5% Last 7 days 18% Yesterday 18.6% Idea for inexpensive SEO is working

I voted for the no upload more option, but also could vote for the not decided yet, as i pretend to wait and see what happens the next months.
I have calculated a loss of about 15% of my income with the new sytem, it sucks, but in the other hand i cant renounce to the other 85%, Istock is between 1/3 to 1/4 of my total income in micro.
+1 (voted "no change" for these reasons, but really - sitting, waiting, thinking)

I'm doing what I can to help Stockfresh become successful - I just applied for an account today, and I plan to upload my entire portfolio there (regardless of how much traffic they have right now). Of all the "wannabe" sites out there right now, SF looks the best. It even feels like the old StockXpert.
This will work only if you are accepted. My my application with top sellers was rejected. I am hesitant to re-apply - types of photos that they seem to want are in minority in my portfolio, I am not sure I want one more FT (accepting 5% of what I send)

My vote is for Cutcaster. I removed my port from there long ago, but it will be the first site I return to if it becomes more profitable (and directing buyers there will make it)

I never thought I could start thinking about restoring my FT account (with phrase in my mind - "they are not as bad as I thought").

It is covering their butt in case of a big lawsuit.
AFAIK this does not help (in most jurisdictions). They either review or not. If they review even small part of content, they are assumed responsible for everything. This true for all other legal issues, and I do not thing copyright law is an exception

I really like John's attitude and how Cutcaster treats contributors. Though I dropped my portfolio there, it will be my first "return" if it moves couple positions up in the poll

And how to see how much I get - Total Earned there now has 3 decimal digits... I have a sale with commission $0.395. On earnings it is rounded up. How can I return them back extra C0.5 ?

Either I am doing something wrong (e.g. not using proper account, but I tried all I have), or my account data is lost. Is everybody else fine?

For the last month my approval rate dropped at SS to 20% - I am submitting batches of 5, and pretty consistently get approved only 1. Approval rate on IS did not change. Is it me that cannot fit SS composition and lighting standards (majority of rejects), or others see something similar too?

I already got my sale this year OTOH I will continue to upload there - free remote backup is not easy to get!

Curious statistics.
Acceptance - 10 of 10 + 72 of 90 + 1 of 10 (490 pending) - cannot tell that I like the trend
21 views
1 sale (of file that was rejected by all majors)

Soooo...I've been gone for a few days. Has anyone else besides madelaide gotten approved at stockfresh?
This was just affiliate program approval. Mine was too. I do not think they approved (or even going to anytime soon) anybody else as contributor

Hint. Click on "add keywords". Type "chocolate labrador". Click "OK"

Nice to see yet another Ponzi descendants, and that there will never be lack of people participating in their schemes...
