This could be interesting who knows...
For me, Shutterstock and Dreamstime are the only two that bring in anything worth mentioning. About $12-20 a month from Shutterstock, nearly $300 total. Dreamstime has just recently taken off, getting about $10 a month but only $30 total.
I know for most of us it's probably just peanuts but I'm sure there are some that make quite a lot from it.

For me it's peanuts, but I haven't done much enough to attract referrals. It's mainly my article at http://stock.miklav.com that allows me to get some people; but I am not running an active community to get much. It's more interesting for me to spend my free time doing photography :)
I know at least 2 people who gets a really substantial amount via referrals, and I think one of them earns more from referrals than from his own pictures.

I hate referalls for catching photographers its spam at best i hope the sites get rid of this BS. This is the only thing i like about iStock no referrals.
Referrals for buyers is different thing but i'm not much positive about this either.

....This is the only thing i like about iStock no referrals.
I have a lot more with them than any other site. Unfortunately, they only pay a $10 one off fee. I haven't gone out of my way to get people to sign up there.

Referral earnings are very occasional to me, so although they may add to my total earnings, I voted "nothing".
