I think it's still to little data collected to make any estimates but so far it's growing very slowly on most sites. Once again most of downloads came from SS. It's almost 90% now. There is no much downloads from others.
SS 87.34%
StockXpert 5.20%
123RF 4.83%
DT 2.11%
IS 0.53%
FP 0.00%
Overall is almost 40% higher than in previous month. Most improvement comes from StockXpert.
I think I got en enough data to show which site are hardest to put photos in (number of photos accepted in a month):
FP 1464
123RF 1120
StockXpert 624
SS 528
DT 283
BS 58
IS 18
I also upload to CS, BS and FT but it seems like these site would shortly fall out from my upload script. FT got very bad UI for handling large number of photos plus only 5 DL in 3 months. CS got one of the best user experiences but no single DL in 3 months. BS got ridiculously slow reviews, upload limits and 1 DL in 3 months.

Impressive number of uploads ! are you doing this full time?

I am still going thru my archive. Uploading is done with a script overnight. Selecting and keywording takes 2-3 hours 2-3 nights a week, mostly on weekends. On average acceptance rate is around 40%
FP 97.83%
YAY 95.75%
123 62.96%
BS 42.46%
StockXpert 40.38%
DT 39.80%
SS 28.90%
IS 21.10%
FT 12.13%
CS 11.29%

I see.. what about editing ?

As little as possible, mostly directly in LR. These are mostly my travel and nature photos so I do horizon leveling if needed, sometimes fill light and of course most time consuming dust removal. If shot RAW I might change white balance.
