Hmm... How is the translation with Panthermedia? My view are very low there - no sales. The translation could be one of the reasons.

I added the list of German stock agencies to my resource page http://photo.hlehnerer.com/Resources.html#StockPhotography with a link to the Alexa Traffic Rating.  Some of the statistics don't look to bad.

... But I don't think I'd recommend keywording in English if you're trying to reach German Buyers - wouldn't rely on any site's automatic translations (maybe except for istock. Otherwise, as you probably know, fotolia is the leading stocksite in the German speaking countries. ...

Looks like Fotolia does an ok job with the translation. So why not others? It would takes to much time for me to create another set of images with German keywords.

General Stock Discussion / German Agencies

Here is a list of German Agencies:

http://www.adpic.de/
http://digitalstock.de/
http://www.pitopia.de/
http://www.polylooks.de/
http://zoonar.de/
http://www.panthermedia.net/ (accept images with English keywords - automated translations)

Do you know if they accept images with English keywords and they will translate the keyword into German? Do you know of any other German sites that sell RF licenses and deal with images that have English keywords?

Change your profile settings here at MG for DT. The information for DT should be your user name. It looks like you put in a number.

Most of my images from SV were transferred, but not all. I also have the problems that many of the keyword are incorrect or missing. Some of my thumbnails are also missing.

« on: June 01, 2009, 13:41 »


It was my best month ever, but this was only because of an EL sale with Zymmetrical. Most of the other Agencies were right around average except SS. SS drop ~ 26%.

Zymmetrical = 36%
Fotolia = 20%
Shutterstock = 14%
StockXpert = 12%
Dreamstime = 7%
iStockPhoto = 4%
BigStockPhoto = 4%
123RF = 2%
Scandinavian Stock Photo = 1%
Albumo = < 1%
Can Stock Photo = < 1%
Snap Village = < 1%

Oh I am jealous! On a good day I have 30 min. to work and about 45 min. home. So that is 75 min. and 44 miles to and back from my workplace. At least I get to see the ocean every day for about a minute on my way.

I think that Fotolia is loosing sales with this.

Cutcaster / Re: Cutcaster cleanup
« on: May 14, 2009, 17:09 »
yeah that was me henrik.  we have been going through and just trying to clean up some of the older files that were uploaded that we found aren't what our buyers are looking for.  you have got a ton of great shots in there but there were a few that were redundant. no hard feelings at all.  i probably removed about 300 images that needed to get taken down.  if you feel that any of them should have not been removed definitely email me and let me know or reupload them.

i'm just trying to do a little spring cleaning as our traffic grows.  thanks for understanding and let me know your thoughts on if i can do it better or removed a file that shouldnt have been removed.

John, spring cleaning is ok with me. It's just new for me to have rejections after they are accepted. I think so too that it is important to maintain a clean database.

I had four image rejected today that were approved a long time ago for the reason that this is not what the buyers are looking for. Is Cutcaster starting to cleanup it database by looking again at older approved images?

I created some time ago a list of agencies that accept editorial images. http://photo.hlehnerer.com/StockAgED.html When Zymmetrical stopped to accept editorial images, they were saying that it was on temporarily but this was allready a long time ago.
