Uhhh, I think that each contributor will see different results. Just because your month at Shutterstock may surpass someone else's doesn't mean the world has changed.
This only goes to January, who wants to take bets that Shutterstock passed iStock in February?
worth noting in the stats that shutterstock has a different site for contributors. Every time contributors check in at Istock it would be adding to the stats.
For the 10'th time, please ignore those silly sites. They mean nothing what-so-ever. Any attempt to conclude statistical data from such sites is bound to be WRONG!
If you compare IS versus Shutterstock on netcraft.com
If these sites were so irrelevant, why would Amazon buy Alexa?
I like that netcraft says IS is in the Netherlands.

Perhaps the Alexa stats are in error. However our own polls show iStock's earnings rating dropping rather precipitously. It is 5.3 as of 3/7, which is as low as I have ever seen it.

It just proves how unreliable some of the things on the internet are.
