Sort by most downloaded and go ahead to page 23: 
51+51=102 First 2 photos
102+51= 153 first page
30*21=603
9 last page
Total = 792

[...] With that many rejections combined with their tedious upload process and their 20% commissions, and their preferntial treatment for exclusives in the Best Match algotithm,  it was really an easy decision to stop uploading there.  My intuition is that as time goes on, things for non-Exclusives are going to get worse and worse there. Life has been so much more pleasant not having to deal with their BS.

Wish to be as big as you, nruboc, so I could decide stop uploading to Istock and still earning well from microstock.

« on: July 17, 2007, 06:37 »
I still think rating does not affect the searchengine for best match search or only very minor. I have one image with 42 ratings. Search for penguin and it will show up on just the 9th page, while I have plenty other penguin images showing up much higher in the search engine with less ratings.

maybe those are newer?
I think they use a formula with many parameters: downloads, download per view, age, number of keywords, ratings... and, most important, exclusivity

Check those images of the same subject, the pleiades star:
http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/character_traits/celebrity/celebrities/2751348_pleiades_seven_sisters.php?id=2751348
http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/astronomy_and_space/outer_space/stars/2716873_pleiades_star_cluster_and_nebula.php?id=2716873

the first one data:
397 downloads, 2865 views, uploaded on 18-1-2007,11 ratings
the second one data:
817 downloads,3845 views, uploaded on 12-1-2007, 2 ratings

well, if you search for "the pleiades" using best match search, then the first one shows first.
Do you really think ratings doesnt't matter?

PS: the number of keywords of the two photos is similar and, obviously, the photographers are not exclusive
