Title: Slowest reviewers / largest queues?
Post by: melastmohican on April 15, 2008, 14:41
Right now only SS and 123RF got reasonable turn around time. User interface is good and review times short all other cannot really deal with volume of photos they receive :-)
My queue sizes:
Dreamstime -  532
BigStockPhoto - 518
Crestock - 374
Fotolia - 284

With so many images in que, I wonder, did you just begin to upload to stock?
....or are you a real shutter nut that takes images like 24 hours a day?

I just started. I went thru my pictures, selected around 500 and now I am trying to upload them for last 4 weeks. I just want to have statistics what sells and what is not so I can shoot more suitable photos in present time.

your account at Fotolia is not validated yet. once it is validated they will start working on your images. valitadion takes 10-15 days upon registration

(go to members home and see if you are validated)

What?  They have been consistently a week for me since Easter, before that they were consistently 4-5 days.  I once had one reviewed in 3 days.

I don't know how they set their queue but if I add a file right now I'll bet it says something like 47 hours or something under 3 days.  It's usually within 10 hrs for me so if it says 47, I'm reviewed in 40-55 usually.

Maybe it's your time on the site (been there since 2004) or your accept % (mine is high)
