If Pixmac is no longer a partner of Dreamstime, Fotolia or Big Stock... why are 147 of my images still there? Kinda curious.... do they have other "partners"?
I don't remember seeing any note about cancellation of Fotolia partnership, I think it's still there. [upd] ok, I don't see Fotolia in Pixmac's own web page of partners, but on the other hand Colossus is still there even though Pixmac said it's terminated.

my sales at CanStockPhoto are low and random - but I only have 1/3 of my portfolio there and haven't done regular uploads. Perhaps need to start doing that.

I believe it has a f/1.8 lens, which means you can also do shallow DOF stuff, like you do with a DSLR.
no you can't get anywhere close to DSLR shallow DOF with the sensor size 1/3"

The way I do it (for what it is worth) is that I keep three versions of each file:
RAW - PSD layered - Jpeg (for agencies)
I used to do it the same way but I just found that saving uncompressed (layered) tif works several times faster than saving a PSD file - important when you need to edit multiple files in a row.

Not all file names are accepted at shutterstock via FTP, e.g. I can't upload my files containing spaces and brackets. Either have to rename files or upload via website.
Same with canstock by the way.

It's Belorussian not Russian  Congrats with the finding. I very rarely see my own photos in action.

If they can exclude my photos will they do that or not? I suppose I'll need to wait at least till February or March 2011 before making any conclusions about "new istock".

0.29 is online
Please test it, hope I fixed all major bugs
I didn't see any bugs in previous version, but I am less lucky with 0.29 ! First, it didn't install from your site so I had to take it from Mozilla. Firefox could not install the file at
http://351.pl/plrangjs/ff/sssiteboost.xpi
because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption)
-261- I tried a few times with same result. After installation now it opens statistics window when I try to see my home shutterstock page. Empty one, with little rotating sign on the left. And not reacting to "Close". This one was easy to solve - the previous version of your add-on was installed via Grease Monkey and the new one isn't so they seemed to have conflict. When I disabled the old version the new one works fine.

So, if You want stats for a photo You don't see actually in the Live Panel or on Home Page, You have to search for it using standard -Shuttterstock image search engine- and then click EDIT (pencil) ICON.
cool - thanks! As for " statistics for groups of photos" - You mean batches? Like @fotorob described in his article from the post above http://www.alltageinesfotoproduzenten.de/2010/11/15/shutterstock-geballte-umsatz-statistiken/
Well it's easy, maybe in 0.3
No I meant groups that I would define myself. Pictures from one session spread across multiple batches. I guess it's not so easy to do...

I don't believe search engines could compete/replace stock sites in a foreseeable future. Too many irrelevant pictures in the internet (wrong keywords, crap pictures, low resolution); too many problems with non-unified licensing, lack of model releases, etc. Too many troubles for buyers that aren't easy to resolve. And other logistic issues like no single payment method applicable globally.
If google would make a site that would be yet another stock agency. But google/yahoo/any_other_search as it is to day can't replace stock...

I uploaded when they paid for uploads. Since then very few sales, only subscription or SMS ones. Thus I don't wase time any longer.
Some people though report (relatively) decent sales...

hi!
Currently statistics for one enlarged photo only shows for a few last accepted pictures. Other pictures are enlarged, but don't have any data underneath (i.e. last sales on the map and pictures in my gallery).
Is it possible to get such statistics? Sometimes I want to check how particular photo is doing so it would be helpful.
(and as a possible next step beyond the request above - statistics for groups of photos - not sure if it's feasible to do within a plugin)
Edited to add: and once again many thanks for your great tool!

unfortunately it's not doing very good for me - only 2 sales in November, and 6 in October. No ELs at all. So far I uploaded about 800 pics.

microstock.ru is indeed a valid russian site - a forum similar to microstockgroup.com

He participated in CEPIC conference in Dublin back in June.
His entire portfolio doubled in size in one single year - so I guess he's much more busy shooting lately compared with previous years.

My question is, how do you keep motivated in an inconsistent and unpredictable business?
My answer is simple - shoot more and keep improving yourself! To support the idea, this is an anecdotal story I've heard about the Great Depression (don't know if that's a true one): one French emigrant was producing wine in the US during the Great Depression, and he succeeded and his business has grown. When he was asked later how he managed to do so well during such hard times he responded that he came from France not knowing much English. So he didn't read the newspapers and didn't listen to the radio, and he didn't know much about the Great Depression. He just kept working.Whether it's a true story or not, there are real true success stories. Basically, those companies who not only survived but did well and grew during the Great Depression are those who continued to act as though there were nothing wrong and that the public had money to spend.
