thanks!

i have good acceptance rates elsewhere between 60 and 94, so that can't be the problem i guess

well I just woke up and i'm less angry then yesterday evening:) i'm just nog going to bother with it any longer, StockXpert is nothing for me obviously

cheers

I'm really angry so pardon my ranting:)

I sent over starting sept 14th until sept 29th each day different batches of 50 pictures, totalling about 7-800 pictures on at least 20 different themes. Now I just came home and was already desperately checking if they had possibly reviewed my pictures and YES THEY DID, but they rejected every single file, not one of them got approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This must be warm up for april fool's, I don't see another logical explanation!

I won't spent any second more on that rediculous site!

Thanks!

edit: changed subject name.

I didn't use any of those signs madelaide.

I did yes indeed, they're investigating this. They're really friendly yes in their emails.

my god this is so annoying, really don't want to give a title to 600+ images

i have no special signs in the title so that can't be the problem i thing, it just surprises me that at every other site it works flawless

Hi guys,

I recently started uploading on LO with my keywords, title & description already saved iin the iptc. The keywords and the description show up nicely, but the title remains unnamed... I never had this problem with all the other sites...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Leaf!

Great challenge! I'm in! So to see if I get this ok. UPload to istock, after accepted adapt the description and add the link you provided us?

Cheers

Hello all,

Do you know which site gives you the highest buyer referral bonus. I have 2 companies who are willing to buy a package for 500$. Could anyone sum up what you get where, because I can't seem to find it.

muchas gracias!

congratz hatman!

OK, now I think i'm the only one who never had one for a year on all  the sites

Today I have had my best day ever at fotolia and there's time for a few more yet

I confirm...triple the sales of a normal day...WOAHHHHH...sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I can't complain from FT either, they're my biggest seller. ALtough only +-30 pics of my 400+ pfolio sell on a daily basis.

I did request a payout the day before the server change...so I hope that didn't get lost in the mountain of work...:s

The stats option is pretty cool, so far so good

what stats? looks the same to me as before? no?

Seriously, this downtime during a week s*cks monkeyballs. Poor poor business planning...

and I was just in my best week!!! already 24$ (without an extended) which is HUGE for me:)

Hello,

I can't seem to find it on their site but if I refer a buyer who buys a pack of credits, do I receive a certain percentage then for referring him?


Thanks!

Cheers

Not good,

For the first time i don't get the monthly payout. I'm 15$ short! I uploaded on the 1st of this month a batch of 40, sales were OK then, but 2 days ago I even had a 0 DL day...wow...

Without knowing the the details to your rant, the question could also be what is the role of the reviewer.

IMO they should only check that there is no noise/ pixilation/logos/copyright/models/out of focus etc that the buyer cant see from a small preview.  Things like colour, the buyer can determine for themselves.

What do you mean by the role of the reviewer? Do you suggest that he could only be reviewing if there are logos on the pic or not? He says he's a reviewer so I guess he's doing the whole thing.

ANyway, I found it frustrating that an amateur gets to review our images.

Note: I'm not saying this because I had pics rejected:)

I just have to vent/rant for a bit. On xx there is a guy who has only 300photos in his folio, sold 100, exercises photography since October 2006, shoots with a simple bridge cam, if you judge his pics you see that he has absolutely NO knowledge about whitebalance vs overexposed AND HE GETS TO REVIEW THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of our pictures.

I think this is totally unprofessional and not at all motivating for us contributors.

What do you guys think? Is my opinion too superficial or do you think that I'm right?

WHOAAAAAAAAAAA
