Update:
With 230 images I have 400 non bot views ...

How do you sort out the bots?

Just by the variety of images clicked and the ordinariness of locations.

PS . .  Is "ordinariness" really a word?

More or less the same missing days, 8-12 and the last 5 days are missing.

There's no review, no rejections, no restrictions.  But, no sales either :-)

not very accurate, sure you and me a few other but the recent sold doesn't show that, many stock contributors (Elena, Sandra as a few examples) have many sales too

I have 140 images up there and the only views I get are from occasional 'bots.

So far it's just like RedBubble, except it costs $30 

YMMV.

Exactly.
The Pyschology of selling over the Internet - doesn't it feel good when we get Views!!
With 230 images I have 190 non bot views . . . .  in about 2 months.  It feels so good, but . . .
Reality = -$30/no sales

Use sRGB color profile.  The fact is unless you are having prints made at a Speciality Printer with on site color proofing and pay high prices for a print, then large volume printers, whether inkjet prints or C-Prints (Fuji Frontier, Oc� Lightjet, or Durst Lambda), are set up for the �common man� who has no idea of color profiles.

I recently had a few Art Prints made through WhiteWall and for a test printed the same image twice, one using a jpeg/sRGB and one a Tiff converted to Kodak Endura Color profile which is the paper used for a Lightjet Print. Results:  Absolutly none that I could fine.  Both Prints were printed at 45x30 cm which was a 50% resized file coming from my 10 mp Nikon. Quality was excellent. At WhiteWall, it is stated that unless you convert a file to a Color Profile, then they assume the file has a sRGB Profile.

I would recommend WhiteWall for personal printing.

I joined when they were iRockstock. I put in my tiny 600+ portfolio. I now have about 800. I have had one sale for $4. They have a nice interface. No categories. No wasted time for submission (speaking as an illustrator). Their application process is annoying (I tried for raster) because they make you start all over again even if they don't reject all of them. That really ticked me off.

However, seeing that they are willing to give us 80% for a short time and they are sincere (the owner is a former iStock contributor [exclusive?]), I am giving them a chance. I want to see them succeed.

I love the site and halfshag and Radio4 are very helpful.  This is a good example of an Artist trying to create something fair for other Artists. Of course its slow but I'll stick with them and hope the future brings better results.

I gave it about one year with nothing to show for the work of uploading.  I bowed out gracefully last month.

same here

Boy, I've seen this picture before. 
Everyone is getting sooooooo excited, but then . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Very funny, 2xLOL

Good luck to you Sean.
As for me, another sign that the ship is sinking and is not the agency that it used to be . . .

I kind of agree with you.  With 200 or so images and one or 2 visits a day this is one of those sites you don't want to check every day . . . . .  I'll drop in once a month and wait to be surprised.
