ShadySue , there r many small and medium agencies with sales (exceeding 50%) made through Google/search engines

I've seen situations, when many people found my clips in google and wondered how can they buy those clips...(without knowing any particular agency)
I don't think it's one thing to ignore and waiting for the "serious microstock buyers to come "

"Most serious microstock buyers don't use Google to search for an image to buy"
Yes, i think u're right but what about the other buyers ? For example i'm a seroius buyer and i have a favorite agency to buy from.
5 years ago i searched in google to find it , until then I did not know of its existence...
From what I read on forums, sales that are made through search engines r kinda 50% to an average agency.

There are many changes that google made to its Penguin algorithm (search engine)...But I can give you two examples which effects ALL agencies:
1: all sites with "duplicate content" = Google's penalty (i think this is a huge problem for all agencies, since all agencies have duplicate content)
2. all sites which r not "mobile friendly" = Google's penalty (this type of problem can be solved with a new look, but it takes time "months" to regain the position you lost it in google)

With the latest update to its Penguin algorithm, Google has sunk the entire stock market.
As you noticed sales have dropped dramatically in the past few weeks(almost on all agencies) and all i can see it is a huge buzz in the stock marketing world.
Most agencies are trying a new look more friendly for their "daddy" google , others have already operated a sum of changes and comfortable waiting their Daddy's to send them clients...
At this moment I see chaos all over the place and I don't know when things will rearrange.
What do you think?

I have high hopes as VB will repair the disaster made by agencies over the years.(I mean the prices)
I hope not to disappoint me.

Maybe they should have changed the "ranking system" as well...separately for videos and photos. A contributor with video port will never be able to grow in rank as a photographer.Not to mention that there is a penalty in the search engine for those contributors with low ranking...

nope, maybe for photos but for footages not working anymore... my queue it is full with old broken clips...and i can not delete the action  and i have the folowing message : "Your files have been placed in queue where they will be processed. Please be patient." Think they broke the system with the new updates...

I'm using Canon 60D for about 4 years and i'll never change it ...very good camera....All u need r some good lenses (L-Series Lens) to cover all range of shooting, from macro to tele...And as advice do not waste u're money on cameras, because their value decreases very rapidly in time, use u're money on good lenses and work with a camera as much as posible. For ex: I bought a lens (Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L is Usm) 7 years ago with 2000$ and i sold it 3 weeks ago with 1900 $... Everything I wrote above is valid for shooting video, things are different for shooting photos...Good luck.

I have stopped, uploading to istock long time ago...their upload system was to heavy for me and very different from other agencies. I'm not just a video contributor but also a CG and at that moment in time they wanted some kind of release for CG Clips. Weird agency... If u decide to become an exclusive one maybe it is worth it...Good luck

I know a very easy way to remove dust and dirt from u're video, but only in after effects.
1.Import u're video in ae , drag u're video in a new comp.
2.Duplicate u're video
3.Use the mask tool and select the area u want to clean.
4.Go to Mask ----> Options ----> Feather (and choose a value of 9)
5.Search in the efects field for "dust & scratches" effect -----> drag on u're video
6. Make the "radius" 15 or 20
7.That's it...good luck

I'm using a Core 2 Quad with 16 Gram(ddr2) and it is working fine for HD and FullHD video editing.So the i5 CPU with a memory upgrade from 8 to 16 will be fine ...but not for 4k of course and yes there is a huge difference from i5 to i7 Good luck

I get sales from $1.25 to $1.60 just for M. M means 739 x 416. It is bad but it could be worst

Depends on the amount you want to withdraw ...If you want to withdraw 100 $ deal is simple, but for more than 100 $ can take a week or even more
