Interesting approach, chromaco. I hadn't even considered the Google angle. I assumed most customers had go-to stock sites in mind when shopping for images, but I guess people must also use Google image search to find stuff.

Thanks for sharing. I'm just starting out, but I might try your strategy.

FT, CRE, DP- Not enough credit sales to even consider

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I've been doing research on what sites to join as an illustrator, and the posts in this thread are useful, but I'm not sure what a couple of these acronyms are. Is "FT" for Fotolia? Why is it not worth it to join? DP is DepositPhotos? CRE is Crestock?

Any other sites to avoid? Thanks.
