I may send some of my rejects to them, like I do with SXC.

Or alternatively you could blog your own photos like this and get 100% of the adsense revenue - I can't really understand why contributors would want to have their images used in this way to potentially earn 50% of nothing.

Surely if a blogger has something worth saying then they wouldn't want to be sharing the adsense revenue in any case?

Looks like we're in for a trend of giving away images to bloggers. Personally I'm not impressed by the Crestock version either - they claim that the image is watermarked - but the samples I've seen look more like captions than watermarks. Again its just a site trying to fund its marketing at the expense of photographers.

This is the same Getty deal as PicApps, Getty wholly own the images, any payment goes into Getty's bottom line, no contributor share.

With Getty and Corbis allowing thier owned images to be used by these services, could wrongly encourage contributors

Hi Leaf, thanks for the mention of mystockphoto.org
I'm trying to set up a few albums there just to see how it works:

Their creative catalog is really at the beginning. Useful info on a fOTOGLIF's tweet:
"might be kinda cool to setup a photo-call area of the site for pubs to request content they need for posts from photogs"

Cheers,

I don't think it will give a high enough return, the code renders an image from 235px - 728px with a description, a google ad or two a photographers credit and a link back to Fotoglif, the right mouse is disabled.

There are no links or affiliate links back to the artists portfolio from Fotoglif or the blog post which might have added value, so the only revenue to share between two or three parties is the targetted adsense revenue.

I do not think the uptake by casual bloggers will produce enough revenue, the blogs that get a lot of hits already use microstock for images, and already have thier own Adsense revenue streams, Fotoglif offer 20% affiliate fee, so the blogger would loses 80% of thier Google income for that pages impressions.

Fotoglif have not developed the three key blog plug-in applications for WordPress, Live Writer and Word, and offer affiliate programs for publishers and developers at 20%.

Artist 50%
Publisher 20%
Developer 20%

Not much left to run the business servers on?

Blogging is a business tool that earns advertising revenue, it does not need free images or services trying to take it's revenue, it needs images delivered to the blog or application, with easy access and pay-per-download.

The free preview of microstock images provides Pixmac.com (only drom Pixmac collection, but it's more than 100 000 images)...

1.) http://www.pixmac.com/pictures/;collection:subscription

2.) e.g.: http://www.pixmac.com/picture//000022472679

3.) At the bottom of page "Free image preview for your blog" -> click "more" and there is prepared HTML code

It's good solution to place Pixmac affiliate code to this link... it works for me
