I’d do Shutterstock & Fotolia too but they don’t give image specific stats, I could do Fotolia sales and views but it doesn’t show the image earnings.
You can sort by ‘downloads’ at my Fotolia Portfolio to see the current sales & view stats and see the most popular downloads from my Shutterstock Portfolio.

on:Would you believe, I have been taking pictures, painting textures and scanning stuff just for the hell of it, well now I’m doing it for a purpose, starting with www.istockphoto.com So now I’m making a few cents and a few dollars for what was sitting around on my hard drive / CDR’s / DVDR’s… iStock is the daddy, the most popular RF stock site on the net and probably the most sorted out site too.
www.dreamstime.com probably comes in second place, with a fine selection of images and a fairly comprehensive set of user controls and a growing community.
If you are after a site that works, has the features and really good time saving solutions to inherent stock uploading and setting of categories, www.stockxpert.com might just be what you are looking for, this site wins hands down with use-a-billity!!!
I’m listing these in order of $$$ so far, and 4th comes www.fotolia.co.uk It has all the usual, with a different way of categorising images, same-same in some ways but maybe it will help you find that illusive image with ‘feel’.
www.canstockphoto.com is my final, some usefull uploaders features, not paying much as yet…
