i really get confused on DT after their new feature, where you see keywords for your sales.
i cant believe my eyes when i see how irrelevant keywords can result with sales there, i just wanted to share one of them with you:
searched:
`fibre optics`
buyed:
`gavel with old books` image
:D
i would like to learn your ones...

"Vegas" for this one was the most surprising so far, but I added the new key word ;D SY

i think customers search for a keyword, and while looking at the search results they enter one of your images,
then go to your portfolio, and buy a very irrelevant image with the keyword they searched :)
i hope that's the case

;)) The funny thing is that I'm pretty sure I don't have "baby" or "duck" keywords in my port at all;)
p.s.: Now I'm gonna go buy one of those Vegas ships so popular lately;))

I can do you a good deal on a "Vegas ship"....
I have just had a customer buy two of my images with the word "sketch"...which is not a word I use in an of my keywords and they bought a abstract background and a crowd scene from a concert!
Is Dreamstime on fire this month or is it just me...I am only a couple of dollars short of a BME already! (on the 14th) Roll on payday!

It's looking good, possibly my second best (SBME?).
I'll never beat my BME for Dreamstime unless I get 2-3 ELs... so, not very likely.
ps. does anyone else have the Downloads graph not working properly in the DT stats page?

Dreamstime is doing ok for me, good sales, even if I'm day by day more surprised by it's most "balanced" competitor Stockxpert. Lovely sales there too. Some particular days it even surpasses Shutterstock. They fluctuate a lot, though.
p.s.: No deal on the Vegas ship!;)

The only one that ever gets close to shutterstock for me is IS. And I've got less than a third the number of photos there than on SS.
On the Vegas ship... there's nothing on DT but I found this on SS:

One of my last sales has some interesting theological/ ecological implications! The key word used was "ignore" the image is below...
