Title: Shutterstock's Analytics at iSyndica!
Post by: Dan_Wiedemann on November 26, 2009, 21:14
Hello people!   ;D

Do any of you use iSyndica (http://vds.isyndica.com/Affiliate/DWiedemann)? I've recently discovered it and found it to be quite amazing (specially for me, that has a bad internet connection) and it's also a great way to keep your uploads organised.

Unfortunately, they are still missing Shutterstock and this means it's not available for reporting.

I've started a thread on shutterstock's site to let them know: http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73811 (http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73811) Come contribute if you too would like to see Shutterstock on iSyndica.

Best regards,
Dan Wiedemann!

 Personally I would choose Lookstat over this company. Lookstat charges a one time fee per image. Monthly charges for people that produce a lot of content will really add up in the long run. As you do better they make more money so the most talented and hardest working photographers have to pay more than the ones that don't produce, Just my opinion.

Best,
Jonathan

Hey Jonathan...

I don't know Lookstat and I justhad a look. Seems nice, but it only supports iStock and Dreamstime!  :-\ I managed to upload to Shutterstock with iSyndica using a generic FTP.. the only thing missing for me there is the stats!  :'(

Best,
Dan

Isyndica and Lookstat propose different services so photographers can make their choice. I believe that if Isyndica comes up with advanced analytical tools they will have a serious competitive advantage ....

 Hi Dan,

 Lookstat offers uploads to all the top agencies they just do not offer the direct analytics from as many agencies at this point. They do show you a great deal of info but I guess I was looking at the cost and return issue more than the data they offer. You make a solid point.

Thanks,
Jonathan
