General Stock Discussion / Re: How many microsites do you use?
June 03, 2010, 06:01
I am on alamy as well, but I don't think there is a need for total switch over. Pictures that you took which are very specific location, or copyright material, or newsworthy may sell better on alamy. However talking about the micros.
Shutterstock is a no brainer.. submit to them
Istock. They have good earnings but I find it fairly laboursome to submit too. I still submit, but I grumble every time. I also find the 20 image/day upload limit a pain.
Dreamstime- they have been good. not as good of a $/picture/year as Istock or shutterstock (which are about the same) but I have good income from them
Bigstock, and Fotolia - they are about the same in earnings. Bigstock is a little easier to upload to I think, However Fotolia gives the .20 per accepted image which ads a fair bit.
I also submit everything to stockxpert and 123RF. Stockxpert takes 0 work to submit to... it is just a matter of letting your ftp uloader fun, then click 1 button to submit the 200 images you just uploaded (if you have embeded keywords and titles)... very simple. 123 RF is almost as easy as they don't have any catagories.... so i find uploading to them is generally well worth my time, despite the low earnings there.
I don't submit to feature pics... I haven't heard of much action there.. but if you hear different, I would be interested in knowing.

General Stock Discussion / Re: What do you use for keywording
June 03, 2010, 05:58
Image optimization is optional. But it is good if you do that.
Guidelines for image optimization.
1. Include the keyword in your image name : Use name in image like web design.jpg instead of number and alphabet.
2. Separate Search engine accessible image folder
3. Use the "Title" attributes : Title attributes are a great way to add meaningful information about the images. Use it. Ex:- Title="Website Design Los Angeles."
4. Do not use the same ALT tags for two or more images on the same page.Do not use the same TITLE attributes
5. Use Limited number of images per page
6. Reasonable image file size
