I did my monthly check of my minor sites to see sales and was surprised, no-I fell out of my chair, when I saw I had one sale at Yaymicro and two sales at Mostphotos.  I was hoping Yay would someday become a good site but I had given up on Mostphotos with the stupid "likes".  Imagine my astonishment when I say two sales at Most for approx. 5 euro.  I am a long way from a shopping trip but it is better "than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick".

For better or worse, I enrolled in the partner program at IS back in Feb. 2011; how do we find out if we have had any sales through the partner program?

Is it better to upload images as RGB or sRGB?  I know RGB is a wider gamut color space and will have more information; I assumed this was the best color space to be uploading but sRGB looks better on the web and may result in more downloads.  What do other do?

I doubt this will be helpful to most but maybe a few newcomers will find this helpful.  I was exclusive with Dreamstime until last week; Since the 15th, I have been uploading to sites and the following table indicates the number of images that were reviewed or accepted and the number pending.  Because every site uses different terms I will define my terms.

Online:  Reviewed and published on the site
To Be Reviewed:  Accepted into the pending review queue; some sites only allow a certain number of images into pending que
Pending:  Uploaded and waiting to go in "to be reviewed" que
Unfinished:  Needing my attention to transfer into some type of pending que.
Sales:  Sales; for Dreamstime, I only included sales since last week.

My ability to upload is limited by my connection speed, most times much less than 3G.  I have uploaded approx half of my port.; another 500 to go.  Some sites, such as FP, did not approve my application till later so there are less uploads.  Other sites were a pain to upload so did not receive the initial upload batches, such as Panther.  Still waiting to be accepted at 123 and a few other sites; have uploaded all to Cutcaster but can not find the images.

I am encouraged by the limited sales, especially from CanStockPhoto and DepositPhotos; I expected sales from the big 4.  Shutterstock feels like I am a beggar on the street corner and folks toss in a quarter as they walk by; guess that is the nature of Shutterstock.  Little surprised by IS, I know I only have 9 images online but was hoping for a faster start; their review times suck for a large firm.  Review times at Veer also suck, why a big push and bonus to kick off the site and then not review the current stuff.

is there a faster way to input images to Fotolia.  i use lightburner but once they are in Fotolia, i must click each image, transfer the keywords, accept the terms, set category and submit image.  This is maddening; is there a batch submit or something.

Are there any sites offering upload cash payments now; my exclusive contract with DT will expire soon and I would like to start my uploads where I can get a bonus or two.  Of course, I will also populate SS, Veer, et al but just want to make sure I get images to the ones offering cash.

Now that I am expanding from exclusive at one agency to multiple agencies; how do i track what I have sent to the different agencies and what was accepted, rejected, etc.

I know I could setup a database of image numbers with columns for each agency (Shutterstock, accepted, rejected) but was curious what others are doing to track image submissions.

i have over 35K wildlife images; want an efficient way to track my submissions.  Thanks in advance.

I will be eligible to submit, for the second time, an initial batch of 10 images.

My questions concerns my first rejections.  I received an email; three of the images had a reason for rejection (two for noise, artifacts and one for poor comp) but the remaining 7 images just said rejected with the reason (7 or 10 must be accepted).

Does this mean they never reviewed the other 7 images or that they reviewed them but just did not put the rejection reason?  In other words, did anyone get some of the images with a notation "accepted" but still failed the submission because three were not accepted?

I have read the other threads in this forum about the initial rejection; for this new set of images, I have downsized them to just over 4 mpix; I have selected a variety (side light, front light, studio, isolation on white), etc.
