Excessive rejections will slow down your progress.

If you get 5 approved assets per week, how long will it take you to build a decent sized portfolio?

With 10 approved assets per week, the same sized portfolio will take half as long.

Make sense?

Fewer approved images = fewer sales. There is no evidence that a low acceptance rate is likely to result in account suspension. However, you’ll want to consider if creating assets, uploading, titling, and keywording is a good use of your time if the majority of them are being rejected.

Well...it affects in that you have fewer assets in your portfolio to sell. But we’ve seen no evidence that a large number of rejections will result in an account deactivation with the possible exception that if someone purchases one of your assets and determines it has errors and asks for a credit refund, this might result in Adobe taking a closer look at your account, which could possibly lead to a deactivation. Even then, that scenario is probably rate. What it ultimately comes down to is, one should maintain a minimum of a 50% acceptance rate while improving it over time, or it may not be worth one’s time or effort to continue submitting to stock.
