I really can't find anything wrong with this?
shutterstock.com receives about 284,007 unique visitors and 3,061,596 (10.78 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $945.74 per day. Estimated value is $576,475.82. According to Alexa Traffic Rank shutterstock.com is ranked number 593 in the world
I can. Just swap the name in the link to IS, DT or FT and all of those are apparently much bigger than SS. Maybe the discrepancy is because SS has separate websites for customers and contributors? Or maybe it is mainly selling high-value subscriptions to big image users rather than lots of smaller transactions to lesser users? I don't see how you can extrapolate the traffic stat's from any website business and from that calculate both daily earnings and the business' value right down to the last cent. Ridiculous. Facebook gets a lot of traffic but, unless I'm behind with the news, has yet to find a means of generating income from it.
Yes, anything that says the sites earnings based on traffic, is a all out questimate. (flawed and conjecture) It was about the #593 in the world, ranking. That's pretty good?
Also yes,
http://submit.shutterstock.com returns, "Please enter a valid domain" OK so what is it then? Unrecognized.
As for the much bigger? Not really:
dreamstime.com receives about
427,798 unique visitors and 1,283,395 (3.00 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $1,424.57 per day. Estimated value is $780,055.22. According to Alexa Traffic Rank dreamstime.com is
ranked number 999 in the world
fotolia.com receives about 307,674 unique visitors and 5,651,978
(18.37 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $1,024.56 per day. Estimated value is $631,563.54. According to Alexa Traffic Rank fotolia.com is ranked number 501 (bigger numbers)
istock.com receives about 312 unique visitors and 937 (3.00 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $1.04 per day. Estimated value is $432.91. According to Alexa Traffic Rank istock.com is ranked number 863,043 (supports the theory that the data is about 90% BS?)
But if they have multiple sites, around the world, only the one inspected is counted. Alexa is missing something?
FT has multiple sites, who knows if all report as one or not? SS has multiple sites, we don't know. To assume that IS has that few viewers is ludicrous.
By the way:
123rf.com receives about 120,051 unique visitors and 360,154 (3.00 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $399.77 per day. Estimated value is $233,495.41. According to Alexa Traffic Rank 123rf.com is ranked number 4,006 in the world
depositphotos.com receives about 10,601 unique visitors and 31,802 (3.00 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $35.30 per day. Estimated value is $12,884.58. According to Alexa Traffic Rank depositphotos.com is ranked number 57,059
bigstock.com receives about 197 unique visitors and 591 (3.00 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $0.66 per day. Estimated value is $258.60. According to Alexa Traffic Rank bigstock.com is ranked number 1,262,545 in the world
canstock.com receives about 61 unique visitors and 79 (1.30 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $0.20 per day. Estimated value is $73.00. According to Alexa Traffic Rank canstock.com is ranked number 4,764,170 (real or flawed?)
Visitors does not = sales, but it does show traffic.
What I can't find anything wrong with is good ranking, good sales, good global presentation, growing customer base... I just want to be a SS exclusive.
Facebook, you mean Failbook?
