fintastique:
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.

Jan '07 statistics:
SS 32% (-52% of sales respect to Dec '06  :-[)
IS 22% (+234% :o)
StockXpert 14% (+53%)
DT 12% (-43%)
FT 7% (-42%)
123rf(+379%!)
BigStock(+20%)
Others 2%

I'm working on a statistic parameter: it sounds like this "sales per images per sum of days of exposure"... maybe a measure of how much a site sell? what do you think?

18% shutterstock
21% fotolia
25% istockphoto
16% dreamtime
 6% bigstockphoto
 9% 123RF
 1% Canstock
 3% StockXpert
 1% Featurepics
 1% LuckyOliver
 0% Galastock

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.

Hey Fintastique ... you can check your monthly earnings on BigStock (Bigstock?)

When you have logged in click on 'Commissions' (Second down at the very right hand side, underneath the 'Download cart' and 'Photo Credits').

Once you are on that page, look at the very bottom, left. There is a month by month breakdown of your earnings.

Cheers
