| Is it any good? If yes, why (and leave me a referral link) |

Yes, I am - it's not the best earner but it's a pretty clean looking site and it's certainly earning better than, say, Bigstockphoto or even Fotolia.
I would leave you a referral but I can't work out how to :-) |

I don't agree, but I have to say I just started there.
Been with Shutterstock, iStock and Dreamstime for quite some time and decided to expand to Fotolia, Bigstockphoto and StockXpert. From the three, Fotolia works best for me in terms of review times and earnings (what else counts?). StockXpert is okayish and Bigstockphoto seems to have some severe logistic problems.
Stockxpert does not seem to have a photog referal program (buyer refereal only), but I recieved 5 free credits when I registered. If you recieve them to, we might exchange them: you spend your 5 credits with me, I spend mine on your photo's.
ETA: The nice thing with stockXpert is that you can upload without keywording. Wait untill pics get approved, then add keywords afterwards. That's a nice feature IMO.

I'm already on all of them except Stockxpert, but thought I could even earn more :)
Shutterstock and istock are my biggest earners, followed by fotolia and dreamstime

yes stockxpert is a good earner.
I posted it the other day, but I guess you missed it
Check out the polls on microstockgroup It gives a good overview of which sites give a good return, and how hard it is to get images online.

This might be a little late for the original poster, but maybe this will be useful for someone coming along later with the same question.
I have been with Stockxpert for almost two years. For some reason, they are only fifth in earnings for me. I speculate it is because of the type of images I take (landscapes, isolated objects, action shots, etc.). I really don't know what they are looking for or what sells, otherwise I would submit the pictures they want, but I have a high rejection rate with them. Far higher than with iStock, ShutterStock, and Dreamstime. I have debated leaving their site, but uploading is so easy. Just FTP up and click a button to add the batch. i don't even bother categorizing them.
For the past several months, they have had really slow review times. i read somewhere that they lost some of their reviewers adn were training new ones. I am still hopeful tht things will improve for me, but for now, I do a lot better at SS, IS, Fotolia, DT, adn BS. The only sight I am with that they beat is probably Lucky Oliver.
I hope that helps.

| Stockxpert is also my 5th best earner on my website. They are fairly easy to upload to and accept most of the images I send. |

What is your secret to getting so many pictures accepted. I can get pictures accepted at a fairly high rate on SS, iS, DT, and FT, but I seem to get a lot of rejections at SXP with a comment saying they have too many pictures of that type already. I can see how with some of my pictures this is true, but some are of fairly uncommon landscapes adn such. i can't see how they have too many of them already. Any tips to help clear the mystery would be greatly appreciated.
