I also use the web browser because of the FTP problem... anyway, most of my jpgs uploads are shown as broken so i need to upload it again, biggest advantage using the browser is that you can see the browen files easy

I have the same situation here, i have two citizenships, i live in south america but im also Spanish... Spain have some king of deal, actually my passport is Spanish... the problem is that your taxes situation may be related to your residential country (i guess)...

I think that SS always reject your first submition...
SS didn't reject my first submission. They accepted all 10 images. Your statement is much too broad to be credible.
I'm just speculating based on the evidence of my own experience and what i heard in the forum... too may first submissions with perfect images rejected... there must be an explanation ... maybe the explanation is not what i say before but there must be an explanation...

I think that SS always reject your first submition... i dont know... maybe to check your constancy or something...
Im vector illustrator (im not on photography) anyway my first submition was also rejected because of bizarre reasons, my acceptance rate is about 99% after i was accepted up to today.

Well, world is changing everyday, and what it was once a good business now is worthless...
The question is, are we living this transition now??

Ridiculous isn't it hardly going to stop a master counterfeiter they have the same on Paintshop - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
After home printers quality increase certain point and also home scanners resolution increase, Adobe implement this algrothm to prevent, not big scale counterfeiting; but some kind of homemade counterfeiting.

Let us to check it for at least one more week, if search position is the same or have a slight change the cap theory is just false or at least improbable

I tried in May, from an Internet cafe in Amsterdam and 24 hours later in Tokyo... Very small difference.

New, old? it still don't add up. So how come then that Adobe/FT can do this? instantly mix old with new. There must be thousands of times, 24 hours after acceptance I have seen some of my new files mixed with old on the front or second page and whats more: they hav sold instantly.
I mean dont get me wrong, it doesn't bother me, cap or not as long as good money is coming in, which it is. Would just be fun to find out.
I agree with you: "it doesn't bother me, cap or not as long as good money is coming in" (im not totally happy with my current incoming anyway)... I do not want to defend the "cap theory" in an irrationally way; I just have some doubts about the inner workings of SS and try to share with you to see if we can support or refute this theories.

Recently i strongly suscribe to the cap theory, not daily but in certain time lapse.
Now I have my doubts, and I think what we (some of us) interpret as a cap it is really some kind of algorithm that is trying to give an "equal" income to active uploader users...
When i say "equal" i dont mean the same earning for everyone of us, but a least divide total sales so everyone can get something according (maybe) to your country.
They can control sales restructuring the search algorithm, because top pages means sales...
I develop this new theory because:
1- It is not possilbe to sell any new pic without something like this. Without this just old top pics will be on top searches,new pics have no chance to compete against pics that was downloaded thousands of times (if downloads is the main search criteria).
2- It is not good for the business that the same pic (or just best 100 pics) is sold then advertising campaigns have no variety (asuming that the use microstock pics).
3- Somehow contributors are so important for the business, some people in the forum think that those who are not able to upload top pics about a concept are a waste of time for the business but buyers are not looking only for top pics about a concept, variety is important, hi quality pics, medium quality pics and low quality pics are very important for the business (not talking about resolution when i talk about quality). It is also important to increase the whole number of images in the database because if somebody will buy a suscription to a microstock page, it will be better to buy in this one with greatest number of images.
So if a new contributor just upload a few images and he have no sell in the first week... he will get out of this business, the system must show him some kind of constant income. So, for that they must see the way to restructure the search engine to warranty him good exposure of his images...
4- My last point is something that for any reason no body talk about in this "CAP Conspirancy" thread and is the fact that when you stop uploading, for some reason your sales drop dramatically. If i dont i can see a good selling rate of my last week uploaded images (for example) but if i stop my last week images just stop sales... is this a way to keep us uploading without think??

I think, it's more a cap on daily exposure than on daily earnings. Sales are coming in batches in a short interval of time and then they stop. If some buyers are searching for the kind of images I have when the "window" is open than I'm lucky, if not,......
Maybe... but finally daily exposure on search engine is direct proportional to daily earning...

There are 2 types of search engines. One updates in real-time and the other updates once a day. There is one search engine I deal with often and it update once a day; they tally up all the downloads and reorder everything at the end of the sales day.
So which one is SS? You guys will have to wait til tomorrow, or after 12am EST. Taking screenshots 10 minutes apart isn't going to tell you anything. Based on experience with SS so far, it seem to update once a day, but I could be wrong.
Ok, anyway we can see differences now (very little differences but differences anyway). I would like to expand this thread for weeks to see the changes.

Oh, it is the same!!
This means two posibilities... the first one say that my theory is wrong... in the second one my theory is right and you are somewhere hidding in my home using my internet connection and our IPs are the same... (just kidding)
Maybe the rotation is not big as i think before...
Edit: well i notice that is not exactly the same, but first page show not big change...

As many of you know, position of your images on searchs change according if you are logged form your account or not (usually position showed is better when you ar logged), and also according the part of the word you are.
I was wondering how much can change position of images in searchs according different IPs so i propose a single method:
I just search at SS using the term "Cat" and capture first, second and third result of first page and page number 10, i just share the capture of results.
You can also search for "Cat" and make some comments acording if your results are the same or change... if you can also share a capture.

I just checked two of my images out of curiosity. First I checked for them with my IP, and then with "anonymizer".
First image:
more then 150.000 results
my IP: 8th place in "popular"
anonymizer: 13th place
second image:
100.000+ results
my IP: somewhere in the middle of the second page
anonymizer: same
Yes, this is another sad truth, they try to "motivate" us with this manipulation... Search position rotation is a reality! Images position changes according with IPs, i think that the difference is bigger if you check from another country.

[...]It could be a huge coincidence as my bestsellers have very stable search positions[...]
Becareful when you check the search position of your images using you account (or maybe your IP/Personal Ubication) because i notice a big difference between the search position when i check it using my account and when i use anybody else computer...
