Dreamstime.com / locked keywords
« on: June 14, 2009, 15:10 »
I just happened to notice that many of my images have their keywords locked. I'm assuming that they were reported for some reason but when you only use 10-15 keywords a image, it makes it pretty hard to spam. Take this one for instance:
http://www.dreamstime.com/three-grapes-image7997761. It's got the same set of keywords that it had when I originally uploaded it but its got the boilerplate "This image has been rightfully reported as having bad keywords and an editor approved the needed corrections. At this time you can add more keywords only through the key-mentoring system." next to the keywords.

Normally I wouldn't really care but given all the search engine tweaking going on there's no telling if it will impact placement or not.
Just wanted to know if anyone else is seeing this?

Shutterstock.com / Does SS have a 'scout' equivalent?
« on: May 16, 2009, 10:28 »
I just had a whole batch rejected at SS that both DT and IS took all of them. Instead of resubmitting, I was wondering if SS has something like 'scout' that I can have review them.

Thanks

General Stock Discussion / Inspiration?
« on: April 01, 2009, 10:34 »
I posted this on another forum but I thought I'd get your thoughts as well.

I've been out of the game for a while but have slowly started uploading again. My biggest problem is a lack of inspiration. I can't seem to come up with enough ideas to get my port. going. I'm going to be wife/kid free for a week and want to really concentrate on doing stock but I'm short on ideas. It seems some people can submit as many images in a month as what's in my total portfolio. So what's your inspiration?
