~$9.50 per picture, calculation based on the number of my currently active pictures. I'm not sure about the amount when calculating with all the deactivated/dollar-binned images, could be ~$8 per picture then ...

lathspell and yingyang0, I think that I didn't explain well the question.

What I meant for the average per picture is: the total number of pictures sold since you join IS divided by the total income you have received from IS for those sold pictures.

Sorry for the confusion, if any.

@sharply - note that berryspun for some reason wants total photos sold divided by total revenue, not $/DL.

I don't know why you want DLs/income because it's not really a meaningful statistic. But since you asked berryspun, it is $1.44.

For the more meaningful stat ($/DL), my answer is $0.69 per download.

P.S. I think you were looking for $/DL but said it wrong (twice). The first time you asked for total income divided by number of photos in portfolio.

I've only been submitting there for 2 months, and don't generate the kind of sales others around here do, but my average $/dl is 53c, although the monthly totals have been quite diverse 43c last month, and 71c so far this month.

Mine is relatively low at .47, although I have a lot of pictures from my old 4mp Olympus so I'm sure I lose out on some of the higher commissions.

yingyang0, $/DL was what I had in mind in my 1st post too, but I didn't explain it correctly.  My apologies.

This post is in the context of Adelaide's point answering michaeldb about the SS raise, when he said that this 5c SS raise is 33% more than what IS pays.

For an accurate comparison, $/DL would be the reference, right?

.53 all time average

0.66

49c overall, but 59c this year with the new price structure. 

Just for comparison, 72c overall in DT, 73c this year.

Here's my stats:

IS: .55$/DL
DT: .85$/DL
FT: .46$/DL
ST: .88$/DL  (but only 25 DL!) 
and SS: .25$/DL (of course!)

One interresting note:  before last raise at iStock, my ratio there was .495$/DL.  So the raise for me was more than 10%.

US$ 0.53 / DL

Very interesting statistics, thank you everyone.  I find these numbers quite informative.  In average, with the numbers posted here, IS pays at least twice as much per picture as SS (25c still applying until May 1st), but sells less.  Both sites are very good earners though.

Again, thanks!
