I've recently recieved that message and did email them for a clarification.� They did respond back with a detailed explanation so I can now decide whether or not I want to resubmit the files.� I just take their rejections for what they're worth regardless if I feel they're being too picky.

Hi everybody,

I have a portfolio on Bigstock and I think I know why sales seem to be consistently infrequent.� There is something about how their system ranks keywords!� In my case I could have the title of a photo, which descibes the photo, and is also listed first in the keywords, but the photo may not show up using the search terms or it may be located near the last page on that search!� There were even photos that didn't remotely fit the search terms that showed up before my photos!� Keywording is something I'm very familiar with and my results work great on the other sites I upload to except Bigstock.� I sent a inquiry about the best way to use keywords on their site but haven't got a response.

As you all know, keyword searches are the best way someone can find your photos!

Anyone else notice this with their submissions?

I don't  know if they have a million or more images or not, but I get a nice amount of views at that site compared to the others I submit to because their system works well when it comes to keywording!
