Hi

I was wondering if anybody can tell me the difference between macro and micro stock sites?

Also if there are any other types of stock sites, (small, normal etc) to gauge a better understanding of the stock landscape

Micro - you make pennies- often - but not as often as you'd like.

Yup...  Getty has moved from the double digit payout per sale to a single digit per sale to decimal digit per sale
