For me they were always better than BigStock ;-) If StockXpert continues its trend it will also drop off top 6. Maybe CanStockPhoto will then jump in :-)

they are always jumping around.  Last month it was bigstock on top.. now it is 123 again.

Well maybe my vote counted in. 123RF is a constant seller for me. BigStock is not worth mentioning in my sales. But then again, I have over 3400 images on 123 and only about 400 on BigStock.

I have about 5.000 images on BS and 5.500 images on 123.
with only a slightly larger portfolio on 123 I earn about 2-3 times more money on 123 compared to BS.

since 3 months 123 makes even more money then DT. (but I must admit that my porfolio on DT ist only 3000-4000 images, because of my bad rejection rate there)

yes, that is quite right.. a few pinches of salt should be taken.

The general theme is however quite correct, you are going to earn hundreds more dollars from the big 6 than you are from 'new sites'

I am surprised that both Fotolia and Canstock aren't higher in the poll.  I made more with Canstock last month than I did with 123RF and more with Fotolia than iStock.

YTD, BigStock is 13% and 123 is 9%, but some months they are much closer. For me, BigStock has stalled out since the SS takeover.

I have pretty much the same number of images on all sites.  Istock has been my top seller every month since I started doing this in 2005.  

However, I am surprised Fotolia doesn't rank better in that poll.  They have moved past DT and SS to take second place in my earnings on a regular basis.

I like the sales at Fotolia very much, particularly since I am emerald have doubled my base price.  Some of their policy decisions I have disagreed with pretty strongly though, so I would not say they are a favorite agency of mine.
