Bigstockphoto in Trouble?


I have noticed that bigstockphoto.com has been having trouble. Their Alexa rank has been shrinking. When I logged into my account, I noticed that they will be paying the photographers more. I think they said a dollar. If they don't get more photographers with better photos, surely they will loose the battle against the other agencies. Can they do it? Wait and see.

Hi Peter,

I'm from BigStockPhoto.com. So you have the real scoop -- sales are better than ever at BigStockPhoto. The photographers will be making higher commissions because we are raising our prices to be more inline with the rest of the microstock sites (we are one of the lowest around with only 2 pricing structures). Thanks for your concern -- we appreciate all the positive feedback regarding BigStockPhoto.

Kind regards,
Dawn Donahue

Hi Dawn,

Wow, I didn't think anybody was reading my blog. I am just trying to make an interesting blog based on my limited knowledge. Your comment was very insightful. I hope to contribute more photos to bigstockphoto in the future, and I am glad the company is staying competitive with the other stock agencies. I will try and stay ontop of the current events in the industy.
