Shutterstock.com / Re: Have you all seen this, SS on demand
« on: August 08, 2008, 05:28 »
for those who dosen't understand.....

i mean those to whom LIKE the hole idea...????

the whole thing... (  might be not so good in english but i can understand of business tricks easily)

 MEAN

1.  the site is under pressure afterwards the other sites start all together their sub programs

2. Before clients leave the site and go elsewhere with subs and better and bigger images  (istock ???) they decide to sacrifice US....
 

The multiple downloads in SS was because of the "pressure" of 25 / day images

since this stops little  by little guess WHAT????

NO MORE

DOWNLOADS (at least no "big" numbers of downloads)

UNDERSTOOD ?

i'm uploading again and ... again and .... again and what's the final conclusion?

 - Downloads Decrease  !!!!

Let's talk for all sites one by one...

SS = Very Strange??? Increasing images by + 30 % and downloads are - 50% ??????
i'm submitting new images in small batches almost every day!!!!

Fotolia = Very Strange??? Just like above +
fotolia gives statics well with 4 times more views (+40% images)  i have equal downloads ???

StockXpert =  Very Strange???  Increasing images by + 30 % and downloads are - 50% ??????

Dreams =  Very Strange???  Increasing images by + 30 % and downloads are - 50% ??????

...as we all know when someone makes the first submissions  to SS gets a lot of DL's in no time afterwards as match as he uploads the downloads percentage keep falling.

how do you explain that?

That's just SS, and their particular system. They push new images, regardless of who submits them. It's not favoritism or some reviewer conspiracy as you claim.



That means that they DO push images AS YOU SAY

the they do it when ever they want and for who ever they want

isn't Hellix

when you get over the rejections part of the microstock sites

you get into library ranking process that  reduces your sales, here is a witness wrote .....

To succeed in stock you need to have a site that realy pushes your portfolio to the front day after day, thus depending on the one reviewer or site owner that likes you... no more, no less... an believe me... been a reviewer on a one of the big 5 for almost 3 years, i know what i've seen, i know how it works.


This is a very intresting part of a post from a member and would like to hear your opinions.

I was suspecting that something  like that was going on but now i'm sure about it.

I Believe that the leader of this kind of attitude is the BIG FIVE, they make money out of our work but obviously that's not enough for them they want some more.

Working very hard for a year on this project "microstock" reading watching and learning i come to the conclusion that stock sites especially the "big 5" are playing games on photographers.

Presume that the concept is something like :
"We want to find reviewers for FREE so we get some of the contributors with small fee and in advance we promote their work higher places in their stock SITE" so they make some kind of inside ranking to photographers according to their own wills.

I have been trying to do something very simple sagest you to do the same too, try to find some of your photos in a site to see in witch place your photo is placed by "relevancy" for example and you will find out that there are images before yours that are not relevant with the keywords you are searching .   

Imagine that photographers who have a decent income from stock sites must be involved with them , the rest of us are useful just for the traffic and ranking of the SITE.

I will put 30 questions to think about microstock sites the next days you will see the first one, but i'm sure that you have some intresting questions too.

to be continued .....
