Oct 08 Final Results

Oct typically is always a great month, arguably the best month in a year, which proved to be true in the last two years, however, this year's result is a diversion of history, I hope this is just a short term thing rather than a trend, one interesting thing is that the big earners all falters but the lower tiered player has a pretty decent showing, of course, when IS and SS not performing, the overall results will suffer a big deal, anyway here is the individual result:

Fotolia: $110.19 a solid month, 2nd BME, for the first time FT leads the pack
IStock: $106.87 worst month of the year
Shutterstock: $103.71 second worst month of the year
Dreamstime: $99.78 an average month, however dollar per download is the highest at 1.26 which means the total download is one of the lowest
Bigstockphoto: $72.00 also a slow month
123RF: $64.97 BME, thanks for the last day actions
Stockxpert: $44.80 a slower month
Total: $602.32 one of the slowest month this year.

Summary of Sept 08

Typically Sept is starting to pick up from the summer slump, however this year the result is not as good as I anticipate, the good thing is that the low performers are doing better than the high performers, here is the breakdown of the result:

IS 178.56 A very decent month thanks for an ELS, but falters in the last week
SS 123.44 After a very dissppoint month in Aug, Sept is not much better, if without the ELS, Sept should be the same as Aug
DT 93.91 A relative slow month as well
FT 85.23 A decent month for FT
SXP 82.30 Best Month Ever for SXP, very encouraging
BSP 68.50 A slow month
123rf 52.23 Second BME, very good showing
Total ------------------------------------------
684.17
