General Stock Discussion / What are your acceptance rates on the various agencies?« on: November 30, 2008, 11:58 »
I hope it does not sound like a cockfight, but I would like to know what your acceptance rates on the different agencies are. I am just curious about it. Its difficult for me to evaluate whether my acceptance rates are good or not.
These are my rates: Fotolia: 70 % Dremstime: 78 % Shutterstock: 75 % ![]() 123RF: 95 % Stockxpert: 93 % So, how many percent of your images get accepted? ![]() (sorry for my English. I know its not the best englisch ![]() ![]() 53

I am not 100% sure, but I think you need the partner licensing option AND the extended licensing option. does anybody know this for sure?

hey PixelsAway,
do you mean the costs per image? I think you are right. cost depends on the one hand on the price of the eqipment. In the US for example cost for camera and equipment is about 30 % lower then here in europe. (based on what I have seen on ebay) on the other hand you will have cost for models and travel and so on, but it realy depends on what you are shooting. gunnar 63

hi,
I guess it depends on the cost of living on your country. If you live in east europe, some parts of asia, south america or africa it will be more easy to make a living of microstock. I live in germany and the costs of living are very high in my country. so it will be more difficult to earn enough money. If you are outside the USA it also depends on the exchange rate betwen the USD and your currency. so I am happy about the current devaluation of the EUR during the past weeks ![]() 64
Shutterstock.com / Re: link between acceptance rate and search position at SS« on: October 29, 2008, 06:50 »
I guess you are right. now I think its just a coincidence and the dropping sales are related to this topic: http://www.microstockgroup.com/index.php?topic=6159.msg68200;topicseen#new
(the fact that new images dont show up in the search at SS recently) 65
Shutterstock.com / link between acceptance rate and search position at SS« on: October 28, 2008, 05:10 »
hi
![]() as far as I know there is a connection between the acceptance rate and the search position of your images at dreamstime. did you notice a similar mechanism at shutterstock? usualy I have an acceptance rate of about 95 percent at SS. but a few days ago they rejected nearly 50 % of my last batch. in the following days (until today) I had an heavy drop in sales.... sales went down by about 40 percent for me. ![]() ![]() could be just a coincidence... but what do you think? do you know something about an link between acceptance rate and search position at SS? ![]() ![]() ![]() thanks a lot gunnar 66

StockXpert.com / dissapeared images from stockxpert« on: October 18, 2008, 15:11 »
hi,
![]() since the update at stockxpert most of my images don't show up in the search. if I go to "my account --> my images" they are still there, but you can't find them with the search-engine. I think that especially the newer images from the last 2 months are effected by the bug. I just like to know whether some of your images also dissapeard? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am just a little worried since several hundred of my images (about 80 % of my portfolio) are gone. If nobody can find my images... nobody can buy the images ![]() ![]() so my sells nearly have been gone since the update. ![]() would be realy great if someone could tell me something about the issue ![]() ![]() 68
StockXpert.com / Re: StockXpert Has Changed Algorithm for Default Sort Order« on: October 17, 2008, 12:59 »
yes, the download-search and the popularity-search seem to have same results. I guess its just a bug... there is no logical explanation for two different seacht-functions which bring up the same results.
I also noticed that lots of my images don't show up in the search. I guess they just need some more time to work on that problems.... I can't imagine that this is the final result of the update. ![]() 69
StockXpert.com / Re: Any Photos.com Sales lately?« on: October 17, 2008, 11:53 »
something else is different. did you notice that the results form the popularity-search is nearly equal to the "download-decreasing" search? i just checket it out with the key-words "car" and "autumn"...
