Looks like the key to that statement is "before the week of July 4th. ". I would say you have at less three more days before you see an update.

I think what your seeing is total views on files uploaded in that year. Not total views on the total number of files you have online. Just looked at my total downloads for this year and DM only shows the downloads for the images that were uploaded this year!

If you're using CS5 or Lightroom DM will read the keyword data. If your having a problem you may wish to ask this question over here.

Some people will tell you its about the Camera other will say its about the image. I've stuck with one rule for over 20 years, buy what you can afford then learn how to use it.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Freedom of speech and a hint of intimidation« on: February 19, 2011, 04:40 »Here's a glimpse, the big hefty drop has turned out to be a drop of about 2% because of Vetta/Agency sells. I'll be the first to say it's still much to early to predicted how the rest of the year's income will turn out but, I think with VeTTa/Agency images placed on Getty I should see an increase of 10% - 15% over last year. If that doesn't workout I'll drop them in a hot minute, I'm not marry or in love with them,iStock is just a company I do business with.I S T O C K B A Dddddddd R E S T O F T H E W O R L D G O O Dddddddddd.... is that better? I love this place you guys are so nutty! I get why non-exclusive are pissed, you guys got the shortest and crappy end of the stick. I feel your pain, but threads like this and some others don't really help. On the site is a thread titled "How to divert traffics away from istock and fotolia" I disagree with the thread but have not posted because I think the thread has good helpful info for non-exclusives. Not like threads like "Buyers bailing on istock", "F5 epic fail"..... on and on. these threads may have started out with good info and facts, but have now turned to into name calling nonsense. I've said this before I don't care if your exclusive or non-exclusive you need to do what's profitable for your business. I fail to see how any of these emotional I hate iStock threads help to reach that goal. 67

Istock is trying to take away our freedom of speech! As has been pointed out before in this thread iStock is a private company they get to decide whats posted in the forum on istock. Not you, not me, those are the facts. Now does that make me a Troll or a realest? Oh I guess on this site it means I'm a TrollFacts! We don't need no stinking facts! Mob mentality is the rule of the day here on MSG. No worries Lisa I still love Ya! 68

General Photography Discussion / Re: Amazing food photography. Amazing recipes, too.« on: February 18, 2011, 08:44 »To me these are nothing special, especially when I see the awesome work of some of the food microstockers. Nothing against her work just that there is much better work out there. Something like this is more what I consider very good. Nice image, but done in a 1960s style. As other have stated her images are the trend in food photography now. 70

We actually save money using iStock because the quality is right up there with macro sites. Dreamstimes, Fotolia, Canstockphoto, etc seem to accept any low quality photos. Its seems their inspectors need to raise the bar. Time is money, and finding a high quality photo is the key. Don't know many student or freelancer designer willing to go on the hook for 199,00 EUR per month for a Shutterstock Subscribe, but I guess they could paid the on demand cost of 39,00 EUR for 5 images. 74

Yep! content looks better, and guess what 33 out of the first 200 images are from non-exclusives.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Buyers Bailing on Istock« on: February 16, 2011, 03:45 »What's bizarre? Yes Exclusive/Non-Exclusive main collection images are cheaper then Vetta/Agency images. Yes I know you non-exclusive have great images too! But how could istock sell them for 30-200 credits if you have the same images for sell on Shutterstock for $.56? .I work for an ad agency in the LA area and I must say, the iStock content is by far superior from other microstock sites.
