Microstock photo results for March 2007

March was a best ever month, with record receipts at 4 sites and second best at 2 others.

Below are percentages for the month to show how I have been going:

23% shutterstock 2nd BEM
19% dreamtime BEM (best ever month)
8% Fotolia 2nd BEM
21% istockphoto (BEM)
4% bigstockphoto
4% 123RF
17% StockXpert (BEM)
1% Featurepics
0% Canstock
0% Galastock
4% LuckyOliver (BEM)

shutterstock had another great month but the surprise was how much StockXpert and dreamtime caught up. istockphoto also put in a solid performance as the rest of my backlog of photos went up there.
The best thing is that the increases are not due to mearly having more photos on line but also due to an increase in downloads (DL) and a general increase in the payout per DL. I will try and put some numbers togehter on this for another blog shortly.
