Ok! Time to speak for us

Which agencies do you think are more loveble and deserve more support from us..

Based on contributor relations, professional approach, the policies they have, reliability, and earnings if you like..

Thanks for any input!

i have a tear in my eye that www.cutcaster.com isn't mentioned. hahahah just kidding

I thought about it John.. Sorry! The only reason I didn't include it is because then I would have to put too many options.. It can be mentioned in "Other"..

Cutcaster is much more reasonable for contributors than many others.. That's the mention I can do for it now

Dreamstime for sure. I go back and forth with Istock but at the moment I'm content as the sales this month have been good. As for the others... blah. Only voted for the two.

DT is the clear winner.. Had I only made it a "one vote per person poll" DT would have been a distant winner.. But still I was too confident about the results..

Subscription model at IS is the best one.. No competition in that area.. I think they are getting votes purely because of that and healthy contributor relations.. and of course their big sales potential..

Istockphoto is very professional and reliable.. There is a solution for everything there.. I am very satisfied with them.. Yes their commissions are not the best but we knew they were the industry leaders already and accepted the fact when we signed up.. At least they are not changing terms & conditions twice a week.. They are well aware that terms & conditions are not a toy..

SS is good as well.. They behave like the leaders and consistently raise the commissions.. They are brave enough to do something good for contributors before anybody else does..

I am not surprised a tiny bit about the results.. It was time everybody knew what the CROWD really think of them..

The ones I like best are StockXpert (lets me opt out from subs, good returns although decaying lately), DT (good RPD, very effective search, the main problem are subs) and FP.

But liking them doesn't necessarily translates in best earnings.

As soon as I make a sale there, it will shoot to the top of my list. Seriously.

I will give you 2 downsides about DT..

1 - Subs, and not being able to opt-out of subs... Probably I wouldn't opt-out with the current 0.35, but it should be there as an option and I would opt-out if it failed to catch up with the common rate.. A subs model like istockphoto has would be ideal..

2 - The fact that you can not delete the images for 6 months!.. They are our images and we should be able to delete them whenever we want.. Again, I probably will never delete them but it should be there as an option..

Other than that it is a good place... With 2 above issues sorted, DT would really be a dream website..
