I have no sales this month.

Fadilaziz, I agree with the algorithm idea. Google has changed their search algorithms also. My sister passed away some years ago and I decided to go back and look at her tribute page. The first time I searched for it several years ago, it came up in the #2 spot. (I searched by her first name, middle initial and last name.) This time I gave up after 100 links came up and her named hadn't appeared. That's 100 links, 10 pages and no mention. For the heck of it, I went to Bing and there she was at #2 again. I used Google religiously for years but now if I don't find what I want in the first few pages, I move on to another search engine.
Google, besides insidiously spying on us, has sold out for the money. Their original motto was "Do no harm." Like the medical field. Now it should be, "We'd sell our own mother for a buck."
The reason I bring this up is that several photo sites seem to have followed Goole's lead. There have always been slow periods in the past 40 years I've been doing photography, usually around Sept. and December. Seems like most editors have their holiday (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Boxing day, etc) images in their portfolios already. But if you read a lot of posts on various sites you'll see everyone (almost) is complaining about lower sales overall.
It's not these site jobs to make us money, but sooner or later there is going to be a backlash against them for changing how images are searched.
In the meantime, our sales drop off a cliff.Sometimes they are too clever for their own good.

It's not the algorhytm, it's the content as itself and the summary. While other upload every day 5-30 clips and the pool contains several millions of clips, .........................
... really, what do you expect with only 1000 or 100 clips in your portfolio? That's less than a drop on a hot stone!
Time is running and if you can't hold the speed you shouldn't complain.

Beckhusen, I think you're missing the point. My sister's passing has nothing to do with photography. She was listed under a search for her name in the top three for years. I mean, not to many people have her exact name. Then, suddenly, she dropped down over 100 places in a Google search. And other people have stated that the search engines have changed in bad ways. It has little to nothing to do with the content and/or summary. Something fundamentally changed and not for the better. If it were just me, I'd say OK, I need to d do something different. But for whole sites to disappear from the list of photo sales is a little odd.

CaptLarry, i think the theme of this thread is "no sales this month" by someone who has just 1200 clips online, ....... and not the tribute page of your sister. So if my english understanding isn't total wrong, i think you're the one who's loosing the point.
Things change, that's life. Our business becomes more and more difficult, that's fact for us all. But nevertheless (i repeat myself) 1200 and less clips online are no reason to complain about lack of sales by changing algorythms. More about this, if algorythm changes are bad for the one, it are great for other ones. Nowadays you need a bigger amount of clips for steady income, than some years before. That's not Googles fault. I'm long enough active here to know what i say. And really, with your 12 photos and 15 footage you talk like a pro, but it seems you don't understand the game. While 1000s of new artists and websites come online it's 100% sure that you'll find your own stuff only the the nirvana if you don't kick it nonstop to the front.

I understand. But I am not complaining about sales or views. I just passed on what others are saying. I have my reasons for not posting more. I sell enough in other places.

@CaptLarry " I just passed on what others are saying." Some like fadilaziz like to exaggerate the number of sales they've had in past months. Truth is fadilaziz has only sold 1 aerial out of the 174 clips online not the 2-3 per month that he claims. His claims are just like the OP who started this thread.

@Beckhusen +1

@jason I agree. I was just pointing out that on several sites, people have noticed a sharp decline in sales/views. I used my sister's funeral notice of how the search algorithms have apparently changed. I believe that people in the tech industry tend to follow each other. So if Google does something, others follow behind. When Google changed it's search patterns, others in other industries may have said, "Hey, why don't we do that?"
I have friends on other sites who until recently were making over $100,000 a year from photography and now they make about a third of that. And believe me, the quality of their work has not declined.

See the big picture!
It's not only stock business which becomes more difficult, it are also other business forms up to the stock exchange. I often have the feeling that world wide businesses all together are dependent from the same wave, ........
and that's not Googles algorythm, it's rather political or metaphysical mood, or whatever, ....... who knows ;)

It might be because of Shutterstock and other platforms marketing strategies. They just recently took a big portion of their creators(whole catalogs) and put their content on a different site to sell everything at half price, cutting profits to sell bigger volumes.

This happened to me. I had just uploaded my first 200 clips and sold my very first clip ever when I got a mail from them telling me that all my content was going to be moved away to another platform to be sold at half the price. And worst of all, I didn´t get a say in the matter so I pulled all my content and came here(Pond5) instead.
