Its that time of the month for finding and opening my spreadsheets.

Well it was neck and neck between iStock and FT for most of the month for second place until FT surged ahead with an extended licence sale yesterday so DT were pushed into 4th.
Best months ever at SS, FT, IS, DT, FP, 123 and far better than December 57% higher overall.

SS 42.2%
FT 14.0%
iS 12.4%
DT 10.6%
123 7% *
StockXpert 5.2%
BigStock 3.9% #
FP 3.6% ~

CanStockPhoto 1% @
SPM 0.1% &

* They have not worked out their subscription sale price for this month so that will increase.

# guessimate as their website will only show my current balance can't navigate at all.

~ I notice once you receive a payout all details of images previously downloaded are forgotten a pity.

@ Their stats graph reports a higher number of downloads and earnings than the breakdown of my balance - rather odd. have essentially stopped uploading.

& I have been on and off one of their top four contributors for the last month so I get a direct link on their frontpage, I don't get the greatest thumbnails but despite dropping their prices they still are getting few visitors because with a portfolio of over 2,300 photos virtually no sales.

3rd best month ever which isn't to bad since i haven't uploaded in the past 3 months.

For the first time ever, SS in no longer in the top 2.  This also means I have to start uploading to istock , against my will, since they are selling a lot more for me with less photos.

123rf is very consistant and is now definately in front of StockXpert which has started to slow down a lot for me.  I have given up on GS and CS but am still hanging in there with LO.

Disappointing month for everyones favourite under - FP - aswell.

I noticed this too.  Very annoying.

It's been a while since we did this.
Here is mine.

Not sure what happened to dreamstime for me, but they are really pulling strong compared to the rest

Here are mine... my earnings increased 486% since last January and 99% since last month!!!! I might just hit my 2007 earnings objective by June if it holds up like this! WOHHOOO!!!! 

SS: 34%
IS: 23%
FL: 10%
DT: 9%
BS: 6%
SX: 6%
123: 5%

I'm gonna be hiting Gold status at IS today!! Woohoo! 30 DLs/month! 

I have seen nothing but decreases in sales at istock the last months.  Now i know where the sales are going

Maybe it is because i haven't disambiguated........ although I am starting to now.

Yes, I agree that disambiguation is important for new users, because it gives visibility to those images that don't have flames or an high download counter.

BME overall and at SS and IS.  1st time IS in 2nd place over DT


SS 30%
IS 20%
DT 18%
BS 8%
FT 8%

SX 5%
FP 2%
CS 1%
LO 1%

Very good month for me in Jan. only 3% less than my best month overall, and 40% more than Dec.

SS, IS and DT count 78% of all sales, and all three of them are neck to neck, thanks to a couple of EL at SS, 1 at DT.
FT had a pretty slow month, come in only at 9%
BigStock had a good month8%, double that of StockXpert 5%

I had an awesome month at IS, both in number of dlds and in earnings (respectively 30% and 80% more than december, which was my best month there) and - best of all - a huge increase in $/dld (from 39c to 52c).  DT is losing one position each month, sadly, although earnigs were nearly the same as of last month.

IS: 33%
FT: 18%
StockXpert: 15%
DT: 13%
BigStock: 7%
FP: 5%
CanStockPhoto: 4%
123: 4%
LO: 1%

Fantastic month for me as well. Top results on all sites and my first EL at DT. Have to say that I uploaded a lot in Dec and Jan. Guess thats the return 

Also StockXpert is a positive surprise. Was there only half the month and uploaded about 30% of my photos so far.
