Many of us are having a terrific month here, mee too, with a bit of luck all I need is 100 quid and I can shout BME! however, the last two days have been strange, its as if they are experimenting yet again with this search or something because exactly the files that sold during the "relevancy" are selling now? yet when you search yourself, it shows popular.
weird? anybody else?
apart from that, terrific month.

Yap, at SS another BME for me 8) 8) 8).
Back to the topic..
I did not see any change in sales or sold subjects during the entire month. Everything is constant here.
-
BME as well. High hopes for November. ;D
And yes, I did notice a slight slowdown since last Thursday.
-
Same here. Great month but the past few days have been strange, selling several images that haven't sold in years and one that has never sold before in 6 years. Weird...

Last 2 days? I think the East Coast of U.S. must have an impact here. Noone can get to work in NYC, and in just the state of New Jersey over 2 million have no power. Quite a few big sites went down too (Huffington Post and others based in that area). I was pleased that there didn't appear to be an impact on SS and the other NY sites!

Sandy played havoc on all businesses along the Atlantic coast this week. I've only had one sale in NYC so far which is one more than I expected given the weather. European sales and sales in the southern & western U.S. have held up, but with the loss of most Eastern U.S. sales there has been a noticeable slowdown on SS. While I may not like it, I can completely understand what's going on and don't worry about it. I've still have my highest sales month ever in terms of both dollars and quantity of sales and expect that to continue in the months to come as SS recovers from the storm.

BME for me 8) 8) 8)

Plain stable. A good month but considering the higher amount of images I pumped in I could be disappointed. The last two days differ in no way to the rest of the month.
-
BME on SS by 24% in earnings. But today is particularly slow. Sunday and Monday were good. Yesterday was average, and today is bad.

They're obviously tinkering with search. In the last few days, a bunch of my older images sold, instead of the usual handful of best-sellers.
So obviously all my images have marketability, if I could just arrange things so they all float to the top of the search :-)
