How do they rank webtraffic-wise? And how does PhotoSource International stack up in comparison?

Traffic Ratings

In the stock photography world, several "large revenue" companies have emerged since we began to publish our "Traffic Rating" six years ago. PhotoSource International doesn't equal the revenues of these companies, but we find it significant that our website has a healthy rank, as documented by the rankings system of Alexa. com.

The following are listed from first ranked to last, as of May 2006.
