I hope that the new website will be a big improvement. Too many images have zero views at them moment. The default search is heavily biased towards old images. I remember SXP did this and there overall sales went up but the majority of the contributors lost out.
I think that the default search needs to be tweaked to give new images a better chance. This should even out the sales a bit and keep more of us motivated to upload. There are only two search options at the moment. I just looked and IS has 7, SS has 4 and SXP has 8. Perhaps this is one reason why a wider range of images are viewed at these sites?
