No Photos.com sales for me yet - that I know of.

How can you tell them from StockXpert sub sales? Is there a different line for them in the account/balance area?

a third line will appear on your monthly stats that says photos.com.

We've been looking at the Compete/Alexa numbers with respect to iStock. If you do the same for Stockxpert and Photos.com, you will find that Stockxpert gets much more traffic than Photos.com.

In July, StockXpert had 93,000 unique visitors while Photos.com had only 58,000. By comparison, Dreamstime alone had 344,000.

Based on these numbers, the maximum amount of sales we could expect from Photos.com initially would be 1/3 that of our regular StockXpert sales. In addition, not every Photos.com subscriber is going to be a Plus subscriber, so that cuts into it significantly more. I'm going to guess 1 out of every 10 sales will come from Photos.com. If they can grow the traffic there, then it could become a significant increase for us.

Dan, but Photos.com, is not so much a site were a lot of photographers hang arround, contrary to stockxpert or dreamstime. As I understood the old content from photos.com was entirely owned by jupiterimages. So photographers probably very seldom access this site. If there are more addicted photographers like me who check their sales daily at stockxpert I think that probably generates a lot of traffic. Good to hear, there are already a few sales.

Hmm.. I opted in to allowing my stuff on Photos.com but none of it is there from what I can tell... Guess their search is broken.

Nothing yet, but very high hopes. What I really want to hear is that someone had a PPD sale through Photos.com. Wink

Well I encourage you to check your images over there because some of mine does not show available as PPD and EL, even though they meet the image size requirement.

This is my image, 8MP, but only available as SUB Sad

Excactly... that's the only thing making it worth.
If photoscom will only produce sub sales over the first months the hype will only be thin air.

I found about 50% of my 8MP images NOT available as PPD and EL on photos.com, even though their longest size is 3504 pixels.

This is also really bad because the largest size (XL - 8MP) is available for SUB !!
I think you guys should check your portfolio too...

If that does not get fixed soon I'll pull out from photos.com.

Some examples:

Of the 8mp images of mine I've found, luckily they are all available as PPD and EL.

But most of the images I've looked for do not appear in the search results! I tried the identical searches on StockXpert, and they show up fine (obviously, since they've been selling!). It seems much of my portfolio is missing.

Definitely not going to sell them if they can't be found. Sad

I will try to see if I can find mine, because they are not supposed to be there!

I have found several of mine on photos.com, but their search engine is really strange (as is bad). For example, I have a silly image of a purple hair scrunchy (which I did not find on photos.com). I did a search for scrunchy and found about 20 results. When I narrowed the search by adding hair scrunchy, it went up to several thousands because it added ALL hair images. When I then tried to search for purple hair scrunchy, it added ALL purple images to the mix, increasing the number of images even more Roll Eyes

Gotta admit I'm not crazy about the sizes, since 1/2 of my portfolio was shot using a 6 mp D70 and therefore doesn't qualify for PPD.

Try searching with "match any".

Anyway, I still can't find most of my portfolio. I can find all the photo's, but none of my vectors.

Wow, I'd never thought I would see the day when my own images were available for sale on photos.com

This is huge. I've only made a few sales so far this month, but for those of you that don't know how bigtime photos.com is...it's a widely know subscription site in the graphic design world, ad it's been around forever.

Are you saying it's got a good reputation and is used often by those like yourself in the graphic's world ---- or are you saying it just old?

Good to know, the site is well known in the design world.

I just had my first couple of photos.com sales. Hope to see a lot more!

Just curious on how much did you get... Do it was subscription or PPD?

Last update from Steve on the StockXpert forum:

"All vectors should be included in Photos.com. We are aware of this issue (that not all images can be found yet) , and the team is currently working on all reported bugs".

Good to know!
