YuriImages - 24,000 images

Interesting one. It seems that every one of the 191 downloads are from Yuri's portfolio. I think I'll skip this one for now.

I would like to know how they got my email address that I only use at 123rf.  Either they stole the address somehow from 123rf's database, or they are some sort of "partner".

Perhaps Yuri gave himself a nice Christmas present: his own stock agency???

I don't think that Yuri puts his stuff on every site that there is. He's putting his stuff here, so he must think there is potential.

I've never seen a site that Yuri doesn't like ;)

Blimey! In that case, maybe I will make a site called Yuri Stock.

Who are the owners?
No information on the site...

USA Virginia is sites' location.

Hello I am new to this site.  I see you have found Scratchstock.com  as well.  I have uploaded some of my images to their site and found out they believe strongly in customer service and trying to make the selling and buying process and easy as possible.  Yuri likes their simplicity and chose to have his images on scratchstock.com    :) :) :)

Just registered to give it a try - here are my observations:

No conformation link sent via mail - anything you provide as email address will work - strange.

Far worse however is the upload: Single upload (no FTP or multi select) with definition of category and TITLE (???) plus selection if 72dpi or 300 dpi!

A new site should do much better than this as others (Yaw, GLO or SF) have proven - thanks, will not upload to this site as it currently is.

Wow, you have faith in this agency. You have one post on msg, which is about scratchstock and u r just a regular contributor there? Look forward to seeing future posts by you on how you are doing on the other sites.

YuriImages 44898 files

If you shoot a shotgun into a flock of birds, you might hit something. I don't think he reviews sites or predicts their potential. It's all about as many sites as possible with the big collection, and volume sales. It works! Almost half a million files all on his own, that's pretty darn good. It's all about exposure and being available everywhere. Nothing wrong with that plan.

Yeah the site is not online anymore, shame they could have had fun with marketing.

Got an itch for photos? Get scratching at scratchstock.com

so this site is gone fast... not even long enough to get attention, i guess they usually paid top microstocker for their portfolio right? not other contributors uploaded there?
