Well, certainly not that many . . . yet . . .  but there is an increase in downloads every month. I like DT. :)

Had a BDE on DT yesterday and a BME in August. The only thing that bothers me is that I get a lot of sales at once, then they just stop for a week or so. They probably rotate the search engines a few times per month.

I had BME at DT in August as well, and a rocket-start in September. Very happy with them for the time being. At the moment, they are my number two earner, ahead of IS with a solid margin.

From the past to the present, I have used DT as my "Control" stock site to measure my effectiveness as a concept artist. DT has been and remains rock steady in it's ability to draw buyers to it's it's site.

While some other sites may fluctuate up and down according to seasonal trends, DT has somehow managed to keep a relatively even cash flow coming my way.

My philosophy is to stick with the winners, and so I do with DT.

I had a BME in July and another one in August.  That is great for the slow summer months.  Looks like September is off to a good start.  Perhaps DT are taking some buyers from istock, because my sales are stagnant there.

Also had BME (earnings) in August.

Agree with the rest of the comments here.  Dreamstime is a very consistent earner for me. 

And in August the new prices gave a big boost to my per image average - went from $1.03 to $1.26, which gave me my BME by a decent margin. 

It's no secret that I'm a fan of DT.  It's an extremely well run site!

I know we're only 3 days into September and it's unwise to extrapolate too much, but at this point in the month, DT is #1 earner for the month. This is the first time I can remember DT ever being ahead of SS and IS so things are looking very positive. I haven't had any ELs so it's just consistent sales, at RPD of $1.23.

DT seem to be very smart in their marketing, concentrating on European buyers and getting other partners on board.

It's going to be a very interesting month. I must admit, I am most excited at the moment when checking DT sales. Some of the 2008 level sales are great and even subs contribute in moving images to higher levels.

Way to go Serban and the rest of the DT team!

I love DT.  I had a slightly down August, but that was in comparison to a torrid July BME.  September has started off well.  They are a great site to work with, from the very fair commission percentages, to the consistent reviews, to the open dialogue with management.  And sales of new images don't dry up after a month the way they do at certain other sites. 

And welcome back Miz.

Can't join the horray club currently - September is starting slowly. Usually I get an average of 2 DLs/day, but it's alltogether 2 DLs I got within the first 3 days of September - and there even wasn't any weekend ...

I loved DT from the start. It was always very consistent for me. It's 2nd earner for me after SS.

I've had 6 sales on Dreamstime so far today - my best day ever, and I have only 135 photos in my portfolio with them.

I love DT as well.  Sales are good and the acceptance ratio is very good too.  If I want to create an image that is experimental, or not standard stock, they will generally accept it.

Not so active for me.  Just 5 dlds this month, 3 of which subs. :(

On the bright side, one of the credit sales got me US$3.20.
