My bet is the buiding.
Although they are all very nice shots, I don't think any are Vetta worthy.

^^ I was not talking about the user ratings of 1-5, these are useless in the best match.
I was talking about an INTERNAL inspector rating hidden from users. A way for them to help better photos "stand out" and worse ones to get buried.

Can't state the source but it came from a friend of a few inspectors.
They have a rating of 1 to 5 and this rating is another paramater which gets taken into account (out of many others) in the best match.
Believe it or not is your choice but it does seem logical to me.

The files are already rated internally by inspectors.

In the monthly stats thread over there it looks like another month of mainly poor results from contributors
People who are doing okay or perhaps about the same as normal are less likely to post (that they are doing okay or just about the same as normal) for fear that their portfolios will come under scrutiny from the people looking for trend ideas. Especially given that there are still niches which are under - exploited. The people who are doing okay do not talk about it. This is why the vast majority of stock photographers never post on any forum.
In this economy I think you are doing very well if your current income has not significantly dropped. Almost no matter how much your portfolio has expanded (assuming you are a not an image factory employing slave labor).
Bingo.

You won't regret it !
Also do note that you must connect it via dual link DVI or DP in order to use it's full resolution.

My partner is amazed with the quality of the U2711 he spends many hours a day editing with this screen. I doubt you will find a better bang-for-the-buck.

iStock exclusive, compared with 2010:
DLS - 3% drop
$ - 20% increase
And what about port size increase ?

A good month and almost a BME
Still didn't pass the 2K$ mark.
Up 4% from last month and 295% from December 2010

The page infected me with a nasty malware. Microsoft security essentials did not help.
Took me at least an hour to get rid of this pest.

The demostration is to show that IS is comparable to SS.

I have plenty of "SOD's, EL's etc etc's" on IS. TS is for subscriptions. When you combine the 2 since it is essentially the same agency the results are still better the SS as an exclusive.
I too fail to understand why TS/IS isn't comparable to SS. (it is)
That is exactly my point. Combined (IS/TS) is a more of a direct comparable to SS, especially for exclusives.
For those exclusives who are involved, you'd have to count all of IS/TS and any Getty sales achieved via the iStock route.
That's exactly what I do.

Top whack on SS is 38c but the overall average is about 55c per sale - for me, anyway.
Top whack on IS/TS is 44c so its still a 15.7% difference. You average 55c on ALL sales, not ONLY subscription sales. My average is 3.3$ including TS downloads.

If my eyes are not playing tricks on me and I haven't kept meticulous notes of file placement, it looks like the search is slightly less skewed towards only new files and a few better performers have started to rise? Anyone else seeing the same thing?
Could the current search with it's heavy tilt towards new files be a countermeasure to the new files not being shown properly in Nov/Dec? To give them a chance to be seen before resuming "normality" in regards to the best match search?
Unfortunately independent files are nowhere to be seen.
Hi Martin!
Looks the same to me really. They dont have to show any indy files since they are being mirrored at TS. They are counting on that independants will just sit quietly and watch their files being transfered.
This is where they are doing the mistake. Many will deactivate their most commercial files and ports, before the move. I have deactivated 90, of my most sold files, blue and red flames, etc. Reason being, I dont want that kind of stuff to end up in what is widely regarded as the ultimate dumping-ground. It gives a bad name, bad image, etc.
I personally know several creatives within ad-agencies, design-groups, ADs, etc, who will ONLY consult Getty for RM and RF and maybe the original IS but they certainly would not shop at TS! mind you, having said that, the majority, Im sure go to SS, today that is.
I understand what you are saying. However, from an exclusive point-of-view TS is on par with what Shutterstock is for an independent (in terms of royalties, model etc.).
Why on par ? I make 42c vs 36c on SS as an exclusive. That is 16% more!

Last year it took them something like 6 months.
What do you as an exclusive, dependant on RCs have to say about that?
I hope you're at least benefiting from all exclusive best match results
Except to satisfy my curiosity it doesn't really matter much to me since I am well over the 35% mark and far far away from the 40% mark.

I wouldn't jump to conculsion just yet! it is christmas as I remember.
I would wait for in to end as well as waiting for the next best match shuffle which I assume will come soon.
My sales are OK BTW, but I do see a bias towards newer pictures.
