Custom contact sheets from your Symbiostock images are easy to makeand provide important external SEO backlinks to your Symbiostock site.  But not everyone has the time or a separate website to display these.  So I'm offering this custom service 

Using the global search at http://symbiostock.cascoly.com, I'll create a contact sheet similar to these:
http://cascoly.com/trav/europe.asp  (currency)
http://cascoly.com/trav/horses.asp

Minipics are shown, and include both caption and alt text. When someone clicks on the image, they go directly to your site to complete any purchase.

The cost is $10 for each sheet of up to 30 images.  You will receive an html txt file that you can post anywhere.  In addition, we will host it on our http://cascoly.com travel site, generating automatic backlinks to your Symbiostock site.  The images will remain on our site for at least one year (probably longer).  You can have them removed, of course, at any time.  You can create blogs or posts on your Symbiostock site that reference these external pages (something Yoast SEO reccomends)

Some obvious types of images: anything to do with travel, history, sports, outdoor activites, nature, education, science. For US States, and Canadian provinces we have only partial coverage http://cascoly.com/trav/united-states.asp

Our main countries covered are Turkey, India, China, France and Italy.  Special topics within each country are also possible - eg, textiles of India.   If you like, we can provide a free consult to suggest where your images might fit in.

Nature & wildlife are other large areas that can be set up, along with topics like geology, architecture, and the arts:

I'd forgotten to mention -- If you make the contact sheets yourself, we'll post them on an appropriate page of our website for free.

I just need a little clarification, since I'm a little confused.

Is this like a billboard linking to an image page? Like an external / secondary path to get your work out there?

I see on some of the links you have articles show, etc. So how would an illustrator like me use this effectively? Or does it apply to my sort of images?

yes, it's another way to get your work out there - especially if you have a separate domain name.  my travel site is has always had both photography and information on the places I've been.  i'm slowing updating all pages to use images from the symsite only

since most symsite owners don't have other websites, I've offered to host contact sheets on my pages. 

for your images, taking a quick look at your keywords ( http://cascoly.com/symbio/list.asp?list=31 )

== your travel mascots could go on my main travel pages,
===skiing & snowboarding on http://cascoly.com/trav/skiing.asp
=== the defender robots on http://cascoly.com/trav/europe/knights.asp etc

each image has the image title, an alt text, in addition to the image url on the original site
