Sometimes I think they look at your $, not at the number of dlds. My revenue per dld is 0.75$ at SS, so I think it's over the average. My concern is about no. of dlds that is not growing with the port, not for $, cause as I said, the 0.25 dlds are 30% of my earnings by now. When I have an EL(it happened twice), I know will see 4-5 days without any dlds. Seems like someone says: "Now it's enough for you. You'll have to wait for a while"
Wim, thanks for the optimistic advice. I will check my keywords as there might be a part of the problem. But I don't know what you mean by red isn't there, cause it is. It is on the description and the image shows in the search by word "red". Now I'll add that in the Keywords too and see what happens. Thanks again.
Bauman, I can see from your numbers that after an EL your sales have also diminished. And for two months. For me is like for a week. Then everything to normal- average of one a day. 20 pictures or 200, doesn't matter - one a day
I believe that search results are capped at a few images for per artist in the first few pages- so buyers aren't presented with too much of the same.So if you are shooting the same subject matter increasing your portfolio size will have a decreasing impact on sales as you reach that max limited of images that get decent exposure for any one search.
september - 184 sales (56.95$) with 474 photos (776 rejected)That is a lot of rejects.
My number of downloads a month is generally equal to the number of images in my port. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but usually very close. It's been that way since I started on Shutterstock and continues even this month, which is slower than last month. For example, this month I've had 904 sales so far with a port of 1,121 images in my port. So, I'm pretty close to on track, and I will probably pass 1,100 sales by the end of the month.

SS is definitely THE agency who keeps me motivated to stick with microstock for a while longer.Cheers,Rob
