I know it's to early to draw a conclusion but did you noticed that all middle tier is very close together. It means that Veer advanced a lot while 123rf, BS and CanStockPhoto are going down. For me this month it's completely different 123RF is better than DT and BS, CanStockPhoto and VM earned nothing.
On the low end side according to polls PM is doing very well. I wish I have a patience to go thru their submission system and have more images online.

Interestingly, I'm seeing 123 outperform both DT and Ftl by a significant margin this month; be curious to see if it holds up. VM went from my #1 last month to dead last.

For me, CanStockPhoto is 3x my 123 total this month.
BigStock has been stagnant but seems to be picking up a bit of steam since the redesign.

Really? I don't think I'll ever see a day when 123 will outperform DT and FT, at least for my port. My March totals so far for DT and FT are each 6 to 8x my 123 total. My BDE on 123 was $25 some time ago, and that would be a below average day on DT and FT.

I have been uploading same stuff to all agencies. 123rf used to be very liberal in approvals so I have the biggest portfolio there which translates into larger sales than DT or FT. Recently I stopped uploading completely cause rejections went sky high there but still volume of images is twice as bigger that on any other agency. I am expecting that it will be harder to get images accepted across the board so people who were able to build their portfolio long time ago will still have advantage over newbies like me (less than 2 years in microstock). On the other side is IS. I guess I am constrained by upload limits but if returns are usually highest across agencies. Improvements are extremely slow but now they slowly advancing to my top 5. In next two years they might be my #2 with this growth rate or if they eat 3 others that are above them :-)
