I really don't understand how SSTK paying us dimes, is considered better than IS paying us 15%? Ignoring the Connect uses, IS pays us better, per DL, when they are at 15% and no lower.

i dont get dimes from SS - my RPD has been steady at $.60 - $.70 not including dataset payouts.

Ah yes, different people, different content, different results.  8) The sad part is, if the RPD on iStock is 53¢ and my sales are dismal there, the sales are worse and for less, For Me, on SSTK. It didn't used to be that way.
