Google Algorithm Change History Each year, Google changes its search algorithm around 500600 times. While most of these changes are minor, Google occasionally rolls out a "major" algorithmic update (such as Google Panda and Google Penguin) that affects search results in significant ways. For search marketers, knowing the dates of these Google updates can help explain changes in rankings and organic website traffic and ultimately improve search engine optimization. Below, weve listed the major algorithmic changes that have had the biggest impact on search. https://moz.com/google-algorithm-change

Dallas , i don't know if u have a site of u're own or if u manage one....but i do and it has just one problem : it is not mobile friendly.
Do u want to know when google announced me that I will be penalized ?
18.03.2015 i received that msg from google...not in 2014 or 2013, and I felt on my skin what that means.

I think this guide tell you everything (the importance of Google/search engines) : " SEO on Shutterstock: How to Help Customers Find Your Images on Google Having people discover your images through Shutterstock is great, but potential customers often start their search in a search engine rather than on our site. By following these tips, you can ensure that your images have the best potential for being found via online search engines. " See the Guide ShadySue and discover the importance of google/search engine rather than waiting for " serious microstock buyers"

This is my last comment to ShadySue and others who got it totally wrong. When i said "entire stock market" I have not referred only to photography, there r various artists selling video clips, audio clips, vectors, AE & motion templates, CG and so on ...not all these artists sell through subscription program (or any other program),many of them opt out. I personally sell my clips and CG directly at a rate of 60 %, the other 40 % coming from subscription programs.
That's why I said that many of us depend on Google/search engines, even agencies. I have friends who have created all sorts of demos (clips, Ae templates ,CG's) and uploaded them to youtube for a greater visual impact and to attract direct clients.
I don't believe in the phrase " serious microstock buyers " for me r just buyers and they are all over the world.

Well, I'm cleared with your knowledge of SEO... When you'll show me an agency (or any other site) that is not dependent on search engines and doing sales...
i'll believe u.

ShadySue , and if it is not so important "the search engine" ... how can u explain the new look of those from fotolia and depositphotos,
once Google announced new changes to their Search Engine ?? - all the people knew they were not mobile friendly.
And by the way not all the people,newspapers,magazines,studios...etc, in the world know about stock agencies (know about the word "stock")
Many of those people r searching as simple as posible "businessman or cat or europe" and are well-intentioned and potentially.

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 think it is commercial ...

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...
140
« on: May 06, 2015, 08:14 »
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...
141
« on: May 06, 2015, 06:00 »
My files have been uploaded to ftp but nothing happens !?? are not processed...
Is there anyone having the same issue ?

Yes, I did a few days ago 2 sales . I think we should encourage them more

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
