Hello,
Looks like for some people here Alamy is doing some improvement. I see a growth according to this poll. It looks that they could arrive to the top tier if it continues like that. Also keep in mind that I believe that voters here have the same images also on micro. The main money in Alamy is made by photos not being available at micros for example RM. If those contributors would add their earnings here I am sure Alamy would be somewhere on the top.

Excited to see them grow in the poll. I had one and only sale with them in December with just a dozen of files, uploaded almost 200 more in January with more to come and am waiting patiently for new sales :D

Alamy has never given me alot of sales but the ones I get are pretty big (compared to RF elsewhere).
It doesn't take much extra work to have files there so it seems like a no-brainer.
I haven't got anything RM as I've never heard any feedback on what sells well for RM or how often they sell. I have a hard time putting something up as RM that might sell well as RF if it isn't ever going to sell. Of course, if I had something extremely unique and commercial it would make sense to put it ip as RM. But I don't. :-[

As I've explained, those of us who are still exclusive with iS can still submit different images RM to Alamy. However, if we polled for Alamy, our iS poll would report as non-exclusive.
I'm not sure whether my Alamy sales, which were 'buoyant' in Jan, would boost their figure here or lower it.
