That is what happened to me at SS between April and May.<BR/>Wish I had > 1 every month but it is pretty tough to get it for me.<BR/>Hope it is clearer<BR/>a++<BR/>LAngkorphototourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203461724498445832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819432406366682858.post-85126547125081914332008-06-11T16:27:00.000-07:002008-06-11T16:27:00.000-07:00To me this is paralysis by analysis.

One portfolio might have 3 times as many photos as another (due to rejections) which will skew other figures but the monthly earnings will show which site is best.<BR/><BR/>One area where it could be helpful is to determine if your photos are improving (ie. sell more). I am not sure you metrics pick this up as the data is still tainted by all the old photos on the site. Other than tracking sales by individual photo (or groups of photo) I am not sure how this can be done.<BR/><BR/>Or am I missing something?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
