I seem to be having a love/hate with BigStock. Feb my dls doubled. March I have yet to have a sale. Very random.

Steady sales but no bump since SS acquisition or since site redesign on a portfolio of 636 images. However, I am having a BME at 123rf since its site redsign ...

QuoteLooks like I am in good company here on Mt. Olympus with Cidepix and Cathy also sharing in the wealth.

I am no where's near Mt. Olympus...more like Ant Hill. 

BigStock used to be #4 on my list. I always had steady sales there. Since they redesigned the site...my sales need life support!

I have to change my vote, at least this last week has been a good one, with 60% of my earnings month happening in just these few days - even those US$2-earnings downloads are back.

for me, BS is still dead...

agree

dead for me

Well, for me it was nice while it lasted.  The last few days my sales have returned to their former uninspiring levels. 

I am hoping that means those that were down are getting more sales? 

We should rename this thread the fall of Bigstock 
dead for me too....

Same here!

But it's still a BME... I am hoping SS acquisition will eventually make a difference.

I am still seeing steady downloads. Not that it's anything to write home about, but better than the previous few months.

growth but sloooowww, fights with canstock and 123rf every month for who makes the most of the three

BigStock is losing out in sales to 123rf post redesign ...

Both BS and 123 seem to be clawing their way back to where they were 18 months ago. It's hardly impressive but at least it is going in the right direction.

4. But im back uploading.

For me, it's been the Rise of Canstock.

So far this month...

123 ~ $3/day
BigStock ~ $4/day
CAN ~ $5/day

Of course, Canstock's good showing is due mainly to those "Fotosearch Regular" downloads of $20 or $30 each, which happen now about once or twice a week.

BigStock is above average for me this month.  123 just one sale, subs.  And that's not just this month.  They have been two separate categories for me for a long time.

Dead-in-the-water at BigStock for me in April ... still hopeful

dead in the water, but just surfaced for a little air today - tiny bubble.
