Hi,
Are there anyone who sell photos or graphics in www.iclipart.com? I noticed this agency in one of the microstocker's blog:
http://www.graphicgravy.com/2011/09/vector-microstock-power-rankings-%e2%80%93-august-2011/
It is described here as quite good earner. But i can't find many information and resposnes about it on web.  If someone of You are selling thare it would be great if You shared Your experience. Is it worth to try?

Is it definitely a Getty site? Do Getty own Vital Imagery Ltd.?

This is the list of the Getty companies I saved from somewhere.

Getty Images - iClipart.com - iStockphoto - Jupiterimages - Photos.com - PunchStock - Thinkstock - WireImage

If you Google - Getty Images and iClipart - you'll find iClipart to be a subsiduary of Getty.

I looked into iClipart awhile back but became apprehensive.
Honestly I can't remember why, but I would also be interested in feedback from current contributors.

I had sent them an email a year ago asking for more information..

They pay %20 commission and that was the deal breaker for me.. It's a "NO NO" especially for a new site..

Yes I am on IS, but that was like almost 5 years ago and believe it or not: I signed up with them before I found out that their commission was so abysmal.. I thought this is istockphoto, they are not going to try so hard to screw me so I don't really need to read the details.. Man, was I wrong!

It was the last time I trusted a site just because they were BIG..

Oh, and one more thing about iclipart, last time I checked they don't credit illustrators on the item pages.. That's even worse than paying %20 commissions.

"...Oh, and one more thing about iclipart, last time I checked they don't credit illustrators on the item pages.. " -  I  agree with it. It looks a little bit strange and i don't really understand why they are doing it.
But anyway i feel temptation to try them Smiley I didn't succeed to pass istockphoto exam and became vector contributor there  - so now i am looking for an alternative for it. This is the reason why i am looking at the smaller microstock agencies now. I've heard that from the low earners there are several agencies with good potential for vector artists. several of them are:
www.clipartof.com - recently i contacted them, but i was informed that they don't accept new contributors anymore Sad
www.iclipart.com - very little information and responses about it, but in some posts some microstockers told about quite good earnings there
www.isignstock.com - a lot of complains from contributors about very long files review time and other disadvantages but there also are many positive responses about quite good earnings there.

Hello!

We try our best to process submissions as quickly as possible although I’m afraid there have been a few instances where contributors have waited longer than we would like. Please always feel free to drop me (johnnie[at]ingrampublishing.com) or my colleague Lotti (lotti[at]ingrampublishing.com) an email and we will prioritise your work for review.

Looks like a made big mistake. My apologies.

So there's a clipart.com, iClipart.com and a clipartof.com.

Yeah as some mentioned sales maybe good.. BUT,

- Not crediting contributor's name..
- Paying %20

are 2 unacceptable issues..

well, yes those two issues aren't big advantages. But if sales are good there, i think it might be worth to try. I'm going to contact them for some more contributor information.
I checked stats of this site - alexa rank and traffic looks quite good.
