Can you believe it?  I was so preoccupied with how each agency was doing for me, I forgot to total up my figures... what a doofus.

It was a BME for me too.

2nd BME on SS by just a few dollars, but the previous one had ELs and this one didn't, so I can't really complain about that 

Very nice September, but not as spectacular as last August :

SS :  35% of sales - 46 % up since Sept.'10 and BME
FT :  24% of sales - 26 % up since Sept.'10
DST :  14% of sales - 47 % up since Sept.'10
IS :  12% of sales, -36,7 % down since Sept.'10
123rf :  6% of sales - 56 % up since Sept.'10
RODEO :  3% of sales, -58 % down since Sept.'10
BST :  2% of sales - -22 % down since Sept.'10
CAN :  2% of sales - 270 % up since Sept.'10 (1 EL)
GLO :  1% of sales - 325 % up since Sept.'10 (1 EL)
Total :  15% growth in dollars since Sept.'10 (5% in euros)

So Shutterstock covered the entire loss of Istock sales, and DST/FT took care of the growth.  This was the first time that I had a BME (for SS) in September!   My usual BME months are March and October/November, so I'm very curious what SS will do this month!

As usual, a large part of the profit got lost in the euro conversion - I should really do more shopping in dollars 

Fotolia is still my n° 2, and still growing.  Until now (in this thread), I can only see the same situation for Leaf.  How are the other European contributors doing at Fotolia ?

For me, Fotolia growing until Sept 2010, then slighly down each month. In Sept 2011 - for the first time in two years - they're not my n. 2 anymore. They are n. 3, after Veer, which is n. 2 for the first time!

Take my stats with a grain of salt... I have a small portfolio and don't have last year stats to compare same month growth.

This month was a good increase in sales over last month.
IS was 49% of my sales followed by SS at 30% - first time that IS surpassed SS which is usally ahead despite the lower RPD. 
123 has beat FT in sales for the last 3 months and has been right up there with DT as they swap off 3rd or 4th place from month to month.

With all the discussion surrounding low commissions I've been watching RPD closely.  The increasing number of subs at FT (giving me a whopping .18 per DL) has cut their RPD from .40 to .38 calculating all-time averages so I expect it will continue to drop if the subs continue at their current level. 
IS was a nice increase from .95 to 1.01 RPD - lets see how the migration to partner programs changes that in the next few months. 
123 comes in at a health .80 RPD - looking forward to continued growth at this site.

September was a good month. These are for me the best 4 performing stock agencies for September 2011:

(This statistic include referral earning at the different agencies)

Just to be my boring self, it's not 50-50 anymore.

SS = 59%
IS = 41%
BS = 0
MP = 0



Money found laying on the ground $1.30 for Sept. Beat Mostphotos and BigStock.
Down from $10 in August.

September 2010 and September 2011
SS moved to #1

On my side september blew August of by a 30% increase. I uploaded a lot in August with deceiving results, but things catched up for September. Best surprise is Canstock with 150% increase from August!
