Title: Categories when uploading to StockXpert
Post by: Alatriste on November 15, 2008, 14:45
Do you attach categories to the images?
I dont put categories usually to save time but have you noticed any improvement in images with categories over images without them?

I always pick categories, but I have no idea if it makes any real difference or not.

I always put categories and I HAVE SALES... Seriously I don't think it make a difference more than 10% of the time. Then do this 10% is enough important?

I don't know...
Been adding categories from the beginning... and sales are almost non excistant.
Maybe should start an experiment and no categories.

Been with StockXpert for about 6 months now. I always add 1 or 2 categories to every photo and this is the 1st month where I'm getting sales almost every day. Is there really any way to know if choosing categories helps or not?

I hate categories, and it is easier to convince myself that noone uses them (although maybe on ss) than to put them when it is optional :) (and the thought of going back through all my images and adding them is the stuff of nightmares, so I'm sure they have no value ;)

i'm just curious: why not add categories when you upload? I understand it's a trouble to go back to older images and do it, but in new uploads?  It's just a few seconds...

I always add them, too.  I figure it couldn't hurt, and it's much easier than some sites.
