Only 30% of my uploaded images get approved. Will that lower my account ranking and hurt image exposure?

70% rejection is not helping you.

Examine your work more closely. Focus more on quality, not quantity.
Be selective about what you submit to Stock.
Submit only your best work, not multiples from the same series of pictures.
Compare your work with other Stock inventory to ensure that 1) Stock needs it and 2) yours is better than what Stock is selling now.

That should help reduce refusals for "Similar Content" and "Quality/Technical Issues."

No, that will hurt the quota of assets that you are allowed to submit weekly.

Adobe once stated that a 50% acceptance rate is needed for getting into the reward program. That's were the 50% paramater originated from. Your ranking and asset exposure will depend on your sales, not on your acceptance rate.

I do not think it will hurt your exposure but it is a waist of your time and hard work. Learn from the refusals and correct future submissions so that your approval rating goes up. Right now, 70% of your work was for nothing.

I've not actually heard of an account being suspended for having a poor acceptance rate; however I suspect that it is one of the factors that Adobe considers if they find other infractions in the account during an investigation.

We've always recommended maintaining an approval rating of at least 50%, but I'm not sure if anyone here can say with certainly that accounts have been disabled for having less.
