The poll here is a average from all together - i know that this is there.
i really want to hear from individually by each which agency is your top and which is your flop.
i see it often enough how somebody got more sales in 123rf as in istock - just as an example.
(because here the average is mostly istock is definitely higher)
for me its :
shutterstock : 20%
istock : 60%
dreamstime : 3%
fotolia : 5%
123rf : 10%
deposit : 2%
all information around this.

1. SS - Over 90%
2. 123 - 4%
3. FT - 3%
4. DT - 0%
DT has been a flop so far. Even my best images are not selling there despite placing high on the search results.
Their Featured Contributor today has sold a total of 2,192 with a portfolio of 2,145 in the 7 years he's been with DT. That's less than 1 sale a day. Maybe I should just forget DT and focus on the other agencies.

Whilst it might be one sale a day he won't have had that many images from day one - in fact for all we know he might have put 90% on in the last month! Just saying maybe its not as bad as it looks :o
