Looked at the statistics and found somewhere
at the bottom:

(click here for your actual payment history)

So I clicked and found that the US generated 42%
of my income, 58% from the rest of the world.

Are your images also more attractive outside the US
(in terms of generated revenue)?

I don't care where the money comes from as long as it keeps coming!

But yes, international sales double my US sales.
Which makes sense. When you think of the rest of the world vs the US, we are probably less than 1/4 f the population.
I sure there's some stat somewhere that defines the exact amount.

Right now there is some (actually multiple) newb re-evaluating thier silly spreadsheet of stats to take into account regional sales.

Do you realize the sleepless nights you have caused for all the stats obsessed people..LOL

Wow I never even noticed this before. My non-US income is also higher. I feel so cosmopolitan now.

Americans will always think there is more of them. LOL!

Like I said...
"I sure there's some stat somewhere that defines the exact amount." And there are the actual numbers.
But we could have 6,000,000,000 babies in the next 3 minutes - that would mess things up. LOL

I about 2/3 non U.S., but most of my images have Asian models or Asia type images, so I am not surprised.

Would be nice to know a country by country break down, but I also would not take time to check this on a regular basis.

I know, I was being sarcastic. Sorry about that. But less than 1/4 is still a real overstatement :)

I wish I knew where my pennies come from, but I am a newbie and do not get that information until I get my first payout which hopefully comes soon! But if you are still interested I'll let you know....:D

I see in your statistics the proof of the theory that we are not alone in cosmos;-) Have you called NASA?
