		<description>Thank you for the info Jan. It&#039;s nice way to say photographers that their uploads matter. I&#039;ll try to do some sort of similar graph for our contributors. Anyway, there is tendency of some photographers to go exclusive with the biggest agency. So I&#039;m pretty sure there are offers that they couldn&#039;t refuse ;-)

Not many photographers realize that reaching wider audience is better than get locked on one site only. In terms of money obviously.</description>

		<description>Glad to hear things are looking up!  The upload process at YAY is among the most painless of all microstock agencies, the commission is also better than most, and the subscription sales pay many times better than most.  So there&#039;s lots of positive karma for this agency.  

On the other hand, two years is actually quite a long time in this industry so it&#039;s understandable that some contributors grow impatient.  Especially when the sales are non-existent for a portfolio which produces substantial earnings at other agencies.  

It&#039;s great to get updates like this with lots of good news. I&#039;m happy to hear you&#039;re seeking new markets and increasing promotion. Let&#039;s see some of that positive karma converted into sales!
