BME, but IS and SS slightly lower than in February.
IS (31%) returned back to the 1st place, SS (30%) second, DT (10%), 123RF (4.6%)).

I had a strange spike of sales on Feb 8 at iStock - 100+ extra downloads. And now, IS is sending me about 10 refund notices every day for $1.80 each from this particular day. Anybody has similar experience recently? Or maybe it just a norm nowadays when dealing with IS. BTW. I had a similar experience on a somewhat smaller scale on two low earning sites low. I got an e-mail with explanation from one site. The other site simply erased those sales after 2 weeks without any notice. I guess I am getting popular ...

my graph shows monthly RPI unfortunately, outdoor pictures contribute just a very tiny fraction to my total sales, so no new canoe from microstock sales for me

Something new ...
I've got a few downloads at Featurepics. All came with the message
"Transaction needs to be verified. The pending status will be changed if refund is not requested in 3 months"
All pictures are my local shots from Colorado, so a buyer shouldn't that exotic ...

Photodune is complicated, confusing and not worth joining! That's the correct conclusion. Yes, please stay away. :-)
BTW. I am submitting my pictures to Photodune as for any other site without any special treatment, but I haven't read the author tutorial ...

65-70% - a rough estimate from my Deep Meta records without counting any files just listing active files and measuring a cursor position on scroll bar

I derive 1/2 of my living from microstock and 40% of that is coming from IS.
So far, it doesn't look that SS or DT can provide any replacement for IS, FT is a way down.
I am rather thinking about putting more efforts into my non photography activity and less time for microstock.

IS 37% (slightly up)
SS 28% (slightly up)
DT 11% (way down)
FT 5% (way down)

IS used to be close to 50% in my earnings a year ago
reached the diamond canister in IS in July

I should close the 2011 year with 50% of my living coming from microstock
assuming that I manage to keep my expenses down
(no new lenses or camera).

Out of curiosity, why do you think IS RPI is slowly falling?
RPI is affected by 1 - number of sales (downloads) going down many threads on IS situations in this forum 2 - change in commission 10% cut for 2011 3 - acceptance rate and upload limit more rejections during last year or so My RPI is based on a total number of pictures in my portfolio, not pictures accepted by IS. This factor really affects my RPI for DT ("too similar" rejections). I have a similar size portfolio with FT, but they don't reject my bestsellers like DT.

What would dreamstime's response be if I put something like "variations available from photographer" in the description of some of the images I have similars for? Since they reject them anyway there shouldn't be any issue with buyers going straight to the source for the variations. It would allow buyers to get what they want and me to sell the shots dreamstime rejects.
I am going to try that.
