BigStockPhoto Seriously Sucking

Just wondering if I'm the only one... but BigStockphoto is seriously sucking. Previously they were one of the most consistent in terms of an upward trend. (consistently beating my previous BME there) They were never a huge earner, but at least they were going in the right direction.

Starting last month they started to decline, but this month I've almost had no sales. I suppose it could just be a coincidence (ebb and flow bla,bla,bla), but it just seems odd to me. Anyone else noticing this?

I've gotten a couple of strange rejections the last couple weeks. One was "too many already", I did a search, there was 12 images but not at all like mine. Never usually get rejections from Big Stock. Maybe they are tightening things up a bit

Sales are a bit below average but still my 6th best selling site.

It's not just you. Normally BSP comprises 4-5% of my monthly earnings, but this month they are down to 2%. Money wise this month is my third worst month since October 2006 and could easily take the #2 spot.

I've been noticing the downward trend for a while now. Losses in terms of money have been eased somewhat by the new larger sizes, but overall the number of sales has been decreasing slowly for months.

i always seem to be going the opposite way as the trend - so I hope it doesn't pick up soon. lol

This month is my BME already by far on BSP and 123 and FT.

Heh everyone! thanks for your sales.....second best month of the year so far. I'm hoping to beat the best month, still another week to go.

Seriously I'm surprised and pleased how well Bigstock is doing for me, I'm getting double digit download days and at 50 cents, $2 & $3 it is becoming a solid performer. I'm also running at 97.78% acceptance.

Bigstockphoto ROCKS!!

Here is my referral link to Bigstock for anyone wanting to give them a try.

The ocasional $2-$3 dollar sale makes up for the slowliness of the site... I really like them, no problems here... Slow as usual... let's say steadily slow.

Well there is still one week to go this month, and it looks like that this month will be my best month there.
