Took me 3 tries and I was really excited. Had to recheck it a few times to be sure. The good news is they'll be your best earner. The bad news is the emotional roller coaster you ride with their reviews. 1 batch 100% accepted and "I'm a good photographer!" Next batch 0% and "I suck!" They're inconsistent but probably get it right most of the time. Problem is they always reject the ones that are certain to make me a millionaire!   ;)

Yes, me too. Glad I'm not the only one. I was a little panicked.

Guy leaves the house in the morning for his weekly golf outing with his buddies.  He's usually home about noon. 
Around 1:00 his wife gets a little worried. 2:00 more worried...
He finally walks in the door around 6pm. His wife is beside herself, "Where have you been!?"
"Oh, honey, you wouldn't believe it," he says. "We get on the 3rd tee and Joe keels over dead from a heart attack."
"Oh My God," the wife says. "That's terrible."
"It sure was," the guy responds. "The rest of the day it was hit the ball, drag Joe. Hit the ball, drag Joe."

I have no sales on DT this month.  It's just depressing. They were always a top 3 site for me and showed continuous improvement. Since April 1, it's been terrible.  Could they really do this much damage with just a search change?  Or have customers abandoned them? 

Have any of you veterans seen anything similar to this with other sites in the past?  Is it a death spiral or just some turbulence?

DT has basically died for me since they messed with the search.  2 months now with next to nothing.

SS going public isn't necessarily a bad thing. Shareholders definitely want to see profits. But for a small company like SS, shareholders want to see revenue growth more than anything. Using the funds from the IPO on efforts to grow revenues would be good for contributors.  Sure, they have to manage expenses (i.e. commissions) but that only goes so far. Especially if cutting commissions may threaten revenue growth. Many IPO's, especially technology, aren't even profitable.  Investors are buying future profits not current, so there may not be pressure on profitability for quite a while, as long as they grow revenues.
I see the fact that the new directors are from large corporations as a good sign.  Seems like the SS management is seeking advice on how to become a large corp. rather than just "cashing in." The new directors certainly bring a different point of view that could drive growth. Although, one of them is from News Corp, so I wouldn't give them your cell number!

My month sucked at DT. I went 4 weeks without a sale. Granted, I have a small portfolio.  But, I haven't had a drought like that in about 18 months. Something defintely changed for the worse for me. I've had a sale 2 days in a row now, though, so I'm hopeful.

Let's just say I need a 12 step program.
