I'm also having trouble uploading through ftp last couple of weeks

Thanks!

Hello, is there a standard RF license that i can use for a client? Searched the site but couldn't find anything.

The more work the reviewers have, the more they reject.  If the queue is small, they have more time and the acceptance rate goes up.

This is sad but true. I think inconsistency in reviews is one of the biggest problems microstock contributors are facing. SS and IS were the consistent enough, i knew approximately how many they would accept but lately they just reject randomly like the rest of the sites. One week take it all the next week reject all.

FTP is not working the last couple of days for me.

Looks like he was one the greek news today!

The yoghurt company intends to seek compensation from the image library.

They automatically take 50 images from your uploaded ftp files each day and add them to the queue (daily upload limit 50 files).

Can anyone confirm that editing keywords after being accepted leads to a worse ranking?

I've never heard this and I've never experienced it.

It was discussed here - check from Reply #19 - posted by sharply_done

I used to edit for UBB all the time and never noticed how it effects views, until recently.

A bit of topic but about views and placement, someone was saying on this forum how editing your file for keywords or to add UBB tags effects placement negatively. It must be really serious - i edited one file for UBB tags as soon as it was accepted and views stopped completely after that. 2 - 3 weeks later and the file is stuck with only the initial views it had when i edited.

thanks

Anyone else notice a crazy amount of views on new files? Had 3 pics accepted just 5 hours ago and they have 679, 414 and 292 views respectively. Some pics accepted last week still have only 40 - 50 views and others even less. Maybe some mistake?

How much do musicians make online? Not much it seems. Flowing Data put together a revealing graphic that illustrates an artist's typical earnings through online revenue channels such as iTunes, Spotify and Amazon.

I don't have much stuff with them but i'm not satisfied with the sales.

I had three poster sales recently, one of them canceled although the product was shipped.
The other two posters sold for a total of 29.15 UK Pounds (33.6 euros) and my cut for these was just 2.66 euros!

Really low commission i think.

EDIT - I remembered that you can choose your commission when making a new product, so my fault for this.

thanks!

How do i request payment on Veer? Do they send payment automatically?

lots more interesting facts here, including photogs name and agency and a post that's apparently from the Greek man's legal advisor

Reading the article above they describe this as "nationalistic tension" which is just stupid. I mean a man has the right not to have his face plastered on products against his will or not?

Newly approved files are not showing up on my port again. Last time this happened the files just got lost, no views no dls whatsoever.

About the nationality issue i think it isn't that far stretched because he is wearing a traditional greek costume...
What were they thinking?  Good for them they didn't put a japanese geisha on their yoghurt!

If he didn't sign a model release he can sue for any reason he wants. He can sue for nationality and he can even sue them because he doesnt like their yoghurt. 

What i'm not sure about is who will end up paying in the end. The photographer, the agency or the yoghurt company.

Stockholm - A small Swedish dairy is in a pickle over the use of a photo on its yoghurt packaging, a spokesman for the dairy said Friday.

A Greek man has sued family-owned dairy Lindahls Mejeri for 50 million kronor (6.9 million dollars) after it used his image on a package for the company's Turkish yoghurt.

'The sum is preposterous,' Thomas Axelson, purchasing manager for the dairy, told the German Press Agency dpa.

Axelson noted that the sum roughly equalled the annual sales of all the yoghurt the company sells.

'The case dates some while back,' Axelson said, adding that it was being handled by lawyers in Greece. Talks began some eight months ago.

The dairy says that it had a deal with a photo agency to use its photos for its products.

The man in the photo did not apparently have an agreement with the photographer, but Axelson said the case of mistaken nationality was also a factor behind his decision to sue.

The bearded Greek was apparently alerted to his appearance on the yoghurt packaging by an acquaintance who lives in Stockholm, Swedish radio reported.

Same issue for me.

Nice thanks! What kind of macro lens can capture this kind of detail?

thank you both!
