CC is dead dead dead.. why all the concern? 

Actually, we are growing.  Sales are picking up.  We are still working on making search and buying super easy. 
If we are dead, I am working too hard!

 

Cora I don�t have anything against CC but the true is that I have corrupted files approved, something is wrong no? I would love to be part of CC family but I have 2 sales for more than 2 years

How do you guys promote your zazzle stores? I'm getting close to zero views on my products. Any tips for promotion and traffic building?

I don�t do nothing but I don�t spend many time there.. but from what I see is MASSIVE twitter/facebook spamming all over with as many people following/followers, great no??

This is exactly why all agencies need to be upfront about their partners. If they were, it would save a lot of wasted time and headache for contributors hunting this stuff up.

My sentiments exactly...
...and the hunt begins. I've emailed this guy Gavin Vadivalloo to find out just how my photos got there and what partner agency transfer them..."inquiring minds want to know"...

nice move, let us know

To each its own...for me is not worth having to worry if my photos are being stolen or not for mostly 0.30 sub downloads...

that�s my question too, I do have big part of my portfolio there.. want answers too

I have missed that discussion - what was the issue there?

an old issue about depositphotos and depositfiles, read below

To be fair, I don't know exactly what the connection currently is between DepositPhotos and DepositFiles. But past info suggests a direct connection and some shady efforts to hide the actual location of the company. I struggle with the idea of doing business with a company that is or was in any way connected to another site that enabled the piracy of my work.

What really troubles me is the idea that these two sites could be more connected than we even know about. At the very least we know that they shared a common investor. So it stands to reason that someone profited from DepositFiles (which came before Photos), and then put some of their money into DepositPhotos which was (in part) used for these uploading incentives. In theory, money made from a piracy site could have been used to pay the victims of the piracy to upload their work to the new site. It's just a theory, of course, but not an unreasonable one.

Regardless, I'm not about to support someone who profits from the piracy of my images, even if it's in a roundabout way. On top of that, the company is represented by some extremely shady individuals who openly threatened people in this very forum for uncovering connections to DepositFiles.

So just because Yuri, Lev, Luba and others are on board, and just because the connection to DepositFiles is not as apparent as it was previously, that doesn't make DepositPhotos any more appealing to me now than in the past.

Hi, I am there since their start, my question is if all this issue continue or ended?

I don�t have anything against them, only positive actually.. regarding the comissions I don�t agree on some top contributors being already platinium (without reaching it) but the stock industry is obscure and it is like a one to one deal..

they do pay 44% for starters but we mainly have 0.3$ but I do see them increasing, so let�s see where they go..

Do they give rejection reasons?

I submitted 40 images on Thursday, and this morning saw that the batch was finally processed. Two were rejected, but there's no reason given. They were both large composites, so I don't know if there's a maximum file size, or they need a statement that all the images in the composite are mine, or they didn't like them for some reason.

If they don't want collages or composites, I'll not submit any more, but how am I to guess what the issue is?

123RF has a max of 20MB, that might be the issue you had, I have many collages
