Well, June is over. It wasn't that bad for me considering its my 2nd month - I tripled my 1st month's earnings (which is nice, and I plan to try to triple June's earnings in July - who knows) and Shutterstock has emerged as the top dog. iStock is next on my list. Lets see what happens.
Anyhow, here's my breakdown (in brackets is the all-time breakdown)
Bigstock - 7% (8% overall)
Shutterstock - 42% (32% overall)
Dreamstime 20% (25% overall)
Fotolia - 8% (8% overall)
FeaturePics - 8% (6% overall)
123RF - 8% (17% overall)
StockXpert - 7% (5% oveall)
These % were done by Excel, so if its 1 percent off (like out of 101% or something) my apologies.
I hope everyone is doing well. Good luck for July.

It has been a good month. Not quite as good as last month but is better if you exclude the two extended license sales that I got.
Below are percentages for the month and since I began so you can see that they are pretty consistant:
32% 28% shutterstock (http://submit.shutterstock.com/?ref=60535)
19% 23% dreamtime (http://www.dreamstime.com/res125558)
14% 9% fotolia (http://www.fotolia.co.uk/partner/39857)
7% 6% istockphoto (http://www.istockphoto.com/index.php?refnum=Jakich)
6% 12% bigstockphoto (http://www.bigstockphoto.com/?refid=ip416bLuq1)
5% 5% 123RF (http://www.123rf.com/src_cjphoto)
13% 10% StockXpert (http://www.stockxpert.com/?ref=CJPhoto)
0% 0% Canstock (http://www.canstockphoto.com?r=16626)
4% 6% Featurepics (http://www.featurepics.com/Authors/Images273.aspx)
shutterstock (http://submit.shutterstock.com/?ref=60535) and dreamtime (http://www.dreamstime.com/res125558) are still my best two.
However, my pick of the month is fotolia (http://www.fotolia.co.uk/partner/39857). Sales are increasing and they are growing at a great speed - they will probably be the first to 1 million photos so that whould attract buyers.

Not considering Shutterpoint, as it's not microstock:
Fotolia: 34%
Dreamstime: 22%
iStock: 15%
StockXpert, Big Stock and 123RF: 7% each
others: 8%

BigStockPhoto 7%
Dreamstime 12%
Featurepics 6%
Fotolia 11%
iStockPhoto 15%
StockXpert 8%
Shutterstock 42%
I added my portfolio to shutterstock this month and it was amazing. Of course they usually sort by newest images first so I assume my sales will die down quickly. But I'm impressed with Shutterstock, they almost doubled my income.
