I haven't been here very long, and I'm not super active here - so please excuse me if this has been asked and answered....

I don't get how the site poll works. If I scroll down this page, the right hand column has a place that says "You may cast a new vote in..." and seems to default to the next month, whatever that is. I don't fully understand that. And what do I put in the boxes next to each site? Then, the poll that lists each site and you give it a number representing excellent to poor doesn't make alot of sense either. Is that a measure of one site compared to another? Of one month/site compared to another?

What about the poll results? Is that based on whatever is down this page on the right, or on the poll you get to by clicking the polls tab above?

Sorry for not getting what is probably obvious, but I've not been able to figure this out.

yeah, all that should be a little more user friendly... but to answer your question.

The boxes on this page, lower down to the right is a RPI poll... which is return per image per month.
Take your earnings for the previous month on a site, then divide by the amount of images you have .. and you get an RPI number

earnings on site / images on site = RPI (monthly)

then, on the other polls... which you will get to here
http://www.microstockgroup.com/index.php?action=pollsvote

it is less scientific. It is mostly to give a general idea of how a site is doing related to the other sites and how that changes over time.

For a basic guideline however...
Give your best site a 10, and your worst site a 1
Then sprinkle everything in between where you feel it fits. If your best site is 2x better than every other site, you might want to give your best site a 10 and your #2 site a 5 and so on.

And this is in regards to the previous month...

OHHHH ..... give me time! I can guarantee you (and I am sure there are some here who will vouch for this) that I CAN and DO ask some doozies!!!

Err... I actually didn't know what the right hand column was all about either to be honest.

Now you've explained everything I can see it's quite a useful guide. I'll add my stuff to it.

Shouldn't that be

earnings on site / images on site = RPI (monthly)?

riffmax · « **Reply #7 on:** August 13, 2008, 11:49 »

Well - how well do I pay attention - that's what I did - earnings/images.

When I put in my RPI, the RPIs listed as previously submitted don't match what I typed in for the previous month, are they an average of all previous RPI submitted or what?
