Everything worked fine till march when suddenly I got -25% in April and the start of May is also not going good... Are there some kind of holidays going on??? or what may be the reason according to you...

It's normal for April I'd say. Mine were -15% and I don't worry about it (mostly due to ELs, I got just a few this month). But today's sales are really pathetic so far, I find it really surprising that US sales aren't already kicking in (I got just a few so far) so it really shows it's a day off in Europe. It looks like IS has mostly American buyers, sales are not affected over there at all.

how can you not know that it's workers day today?

Perhaps he doesn't work!!!!!!

Perhaps I never thought that it is so heavily celebrated

Only have a total (all sites) difference of $0.25 between March and April (guess I am just lucky).

Think our government should have sent their employees to work today ("workers day"), maybe they might have misunderstood and actually worked for once!

in the US it was considered a Soviet propaganda day - ignoring the otherwise worldwide recogniyion

workers + unions = socialism  by right wing americans

We have Labor Day on the first Monday in September.  It's the same thing, I would imagine - a day to celebrate workers.  Most people take a long weekend and have a picnic or something.

Labour Day = 1st of May

Labor Day = first Monday in September

My sales at SS were pathetic yesterday. But I still got more sales from from Europe than the USA (and on a normal weekday sales are about the same)

The first 2 days of May are pathetic. Things are better today though, but still way below average, at least when it comes to subs, I only got 2 ODs so far today and no other no sub sales. And yes, I know it was the labour day yesterday . I just hope the fun won't stop now, that I've gotten used to nice, growing sales and more importantly, earnings.

Can anyone with significant number of DLs reveal his/her May trends?

Anyone got more "blooming nature" downloads yesterday? :-)

I had one, a pretty old one that actually has a sensor spot on it

It really gets my goat when people laugh about providing a sub-standard service to our customers. Selling images with hidden defects reflects badly on all of us.

I believe you are way pissed around Yuri and starting to be mean all around, you need to deal with that issue please.. regarding my picture it was done in 2009 where actually I didn�t knew jack about sensor spots, only noticed it yesterday when I saw the sale, I believe that we should laugh about ourself if not we are just too serious.. for sure I will work around that picture and upload again, please don�t go and tell Jon

I would say I am back to April levels at SS (which was around 5 - 10% down from March).

In fact, I'd say all sites except for DT are doing about what they did in April.  Monday this week was bad, but Tuesday things bounced right back, and the rest of the week is looking good.

Yes, SS bounced back today for me as well. SS really can't go down for more than a day or 2. In fact sales are already almost double from yesterdays (and I'm usually at 75% of my earnings at this time of day). IS is good, a couple of semi niched series are selling nicely, FT is good too, got a few large credit sales today, but I agree that DT is pathetic, just one sub for today so far...

Picture downloads follow the stock market.

Check it.

Which actually tells us who our costumers are.

Check it if you dont believe me.
