Pond5 have passed DreamsTime in the poll results on the right.
Looks interesting, I've just registered there.

Keep in mind that this is November 02. Some don't fill in the polls until the middle of the month.

Also keep in mind that this is probably almost 100% due to video sales. If you have lots of video - you really should get them up at P5. For stills - unfortunately it isn't going to make that much of a difference (at least in my case recently).

This is just an indicator that video contributors are increasing

pond is my 3-4 best site most months, almost entirely images; I did ok earlier with some video, but I can't produce the quality needed now for consistent sales, so stopped uploading footage 2 yrs ago

Same experience, photos didn't do anything and now my videos aren't up to the standards. P5 is a good site for many, mostly people who can produce good videos. And it's early in the month for the poll. I don't know how often it updates.

DT numbers were lower last week, being passed with an increase isn't bad.

Their video standards aren't that high, they accept all of mine

Sold a few images last month but they would be down in low earners for images only.

I've been thinking of making videos for a few days.
I just don't know if I have enough space for them on my computer...

I started to make videos 3 years ago. No regret so far. At least no (easy) theft, no (problematic) large previews, no V1, no V2..

If you are shooting stills best of luck A, getting your images approved and B/ getting any sales!!

Not sure which, what was DT in time before P5 passed them? Shows that video is growing while photo is dying.

DT makes many, many times more for me than P5. Must be a quirk where video people voted early in the month throwing the figures out.

Oops Pond5 just fell down back to Middle Tier. Photos are literary dying there...

Alamy took over Fotolia?!? wow!
