Looks like I wasted some time creating some images with the Olympic Rings. They were rejected. Though that they were a flag and therefore ok, but ... Now found this topic that explains it. http://www.microstockgroup.com/newby-discussion/image-themes/Now comes the question: Can they be submitted as editorials?

 This are for me the best 4 performing stock agencies for September 2009: 1. Shutterstock 2. Veer Marketplace 3. Fotolia 4. DreamstimeSeptember was a very good month with an increase of 5% compared to August. This is adding up to three month of increase in a row. It was the best month ever for Big Stock Photo, Featurepics, and Veer Marketplace. Veer Marketplace surprised this month with a sale of an Extended License. You can find a extended list of stock photography agencies that I work with at H. Lehnerer Photography.

Is it still possible to create a referral link to Stockxpert? The aren't working anymore with Commission Junction, and the old referral links lead to the message "We're sorry, but the page you have requested could not be found". The referral statistic page still show referral link clicks, but I can't find the correct link to fix all the other links.
Can someone explain how to create a working referral link to StockXpert?

I had four image rejected today that were approved a long time ago for the reason that this is not what the buyers are looking for. Is Cutcaster starting to cleanup it database by looking again at older approved images?

2 February 2009 at 10:32 by Patrick Ashby and Rob Singer - QC team
Posted under Advice and tips, News
As a follow up to the New QC procedures as a result of persistent failures blog (July 2008), we are now going to start freezing online upload privileges for a period of 30 days for those contributors who continually fail QC.
These contributors are repeatedly submitting the following:
* Images that contain gross technical errors.
* Re-submission of images that have previously failed QC and have not been corrected.
* Submissions which have had the problem images removed but no changes made to other images in the submission which also experience failure reasons.
We expect our contributors to
understand our QC requirements and submit only images that meet these standards. We would like to ask contributors to be pro-active towards this situation. This can be done by taking the following steps:
* If you have failed QC go to Track submissions, within My Alamy to see why your submission failed.
* If you do not understand the failure reason then look at the description of our failure reasons.
* Before re-submitting, check ALL your images at 100% for any problems.
* If you are still confused as to why you have failed QC why not look on the Alamy forum.
We are keen to reiterate that contributors who do not take these steps are becoming very time consuming, which impacts the turnaround time for all of our contributors. We will be tracking these contributors, and in extreme circumstances contributors will have their online upload privileges removed for a period of 30 days.
If you are a contributor having problems passing QC you may find these links useful:
* Alamy Forum
* Submission Guidelines
* New QC procedures as a result of persistent failures
* Some guidance to help you pass Alamy Quality Control
* Are you having issues passing Alamy Quality Control?

You can see this question from time to time in the forums. Some agencies help you with this answer by providing some useful list. I some times look through this list, but often I have to search for them because a forgot where they are located. So I created this page to keep them handy. http://photo.hlehnerer.com/WhatIsSelling.htmlPlease let me know if there are some missing.
