Comments on: Agencies Want Profitable Microstockers http://www.microstockdiaries.com/agencies-want-profitable-microstockers.html For People Selling Photos Online Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:26:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Matt Antonino http://www.microstockdiaries.com/agencies-want-profitable-microstockers.html/comment-page-1#comment-13749 Matt Antonino Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:48:07 +0000 http://www.microstockdiaries.com/?p=212#comment-13749 They can't both be true - it's illogical. If AgencyDT uses RPI to determine search engine rank, then deleting photos would HELP your earnings by giving your best sellers higher RPI and thus higher search rank, resulting in more sales. If AgencyDT does NOT use RPI as part of rank, then deleting your already-accepted photos is stupid because they may sell. If an agency uses sales per image and you have some dogs, deleting them brings up your sales per image and helps you. If they don't, you want the largest gallery possible. See what I mean? It can't be both ways. They can’t both be true – it’s illogical.

Which ones use RPI? I’m going to go delete the bottom 15% of my portfolios there.
