Thank you for your help, but I still can't work it out. I do not see the Text Export field anywhere.

Doesn't have the option I described...

Hi,
I am looking for a program which would gather all the keywords from all my stock photos that have metadata.
The keywords would be imported without duplicates and in the number of usages order.
Then, I would like to export it to a txt file.
Do you know such program ?
Thanks!
Michal

"buy artist prints" seems to be the best one I've found - 3000 impressions and 8 clicks on my ad (which is a lot more specific to what I have on offer.)
No sales yet and $5.83 spent!!
Steve
yeah good one, thanks man. For me the phrases with "posters" or "poster" seem to get the highest number of impressions, like "paris posters" etc. It is still too early to judge our ads' efficiency if we spent less than $10  Gonna keep it up.

I report myself: 7 clicks at my Paris gallery for about $6 in total. No sales, but awkwardly no visitors reported to my Paris gallery at FAA either. I'll keep it running though.

so with your lowly searched item (Kauai) you would maybe pay even less per click than $0.65 ?
I am thinking what price for a click I should offer for my Paris gallery.

What is the story behind the price of clicks ?
The click for $2 is any better than a click for $0.39 ?

Steve, can't wait for the outcome of your experiment.
What is also worth pointing out is that the vast majority of buyers at FAA are from the US, so it would make sense to narrow the location down to the US and maybe Canada. We don't want clicks from lets say China where people won't buy the prints as the delivery cost would be too high.
Also, I will exclude keywords like 'services' and 'printing'. They may be confusing as they may mean printing houses/services etc.

A very very useful tip Steve, thanks for this.
With every of my >1000 images there it would be difficult to create a campaing for each though. That is why maybe creating campaigns for specific galleries would be an idea ?
Keywording them with phrases like 'paris canvas prints' is specific enough to grab a motivated buyer, isn't it ?

Hi, About two months ago I uploaded a part of my portfolio to FFA, you can see it here: http://michal-bednarek.artistwebsites.com/I've already got one sale with $74 commision for me, but I am thinking about increasing traffic to my site at FFA by creating the Google Adwords campaign. What do you think about such move? What should I focus on and what budget would give a noticeable effect ? Thanks! Michal

It is useful in many occasions. And it's more lightweight than bringing a tripod all the time (although not equally effective of course).
As an Olympus user, I have an advantage here: image stabilisation is in camera, not in lens. So you only pay once for it, and it's available with all lenses.
Hey man, you are a pro and you use Olympus ?
The E-5 is 12 MP - far below what is now needed.
Alamy requires 8.7mp give or take a few, 123 requires 6mp, all others are less. 12 mp should easily cut it imo
theoretically yes BUT several sites sell higher resolutions for higher prices not to mention that you can always crop, downscale etc. I have Canon 5d mkII with 21 MP and it is just right, I have to often downscale to 12 MP because of focus issues (difficult lighting, moving objects etc)

Can you provide the link to that info on their forum ?

Oh thank you Luis  Yep, I focus on travel and photography currently. 3d is rather fun and experimental in my case Today I am even having a SS drop.. Time to focus on fine art, print on demand, that's my latest observation and I am trying to implement it.

I got used to ups and downs of DT's sales, but what's been going on for last 3 days is pretty catastrophic. Having the portfolio of over 3000 images, being there 6 years, earning on avarage 250$ monthly (middle tier for me), now, since November 12 I earned 2 dollars!
DT behaves like a capricious child, probably they have made another change in their search algorithm and it sank my portfolio.

10 days to the Olympic Games in the UK and it seems like Poland wants to remind you guys of something . Best regards to BBC.

I am reposting it because it is sooo well put. There should a "like" option on this forum . I'm definitely not signing up during beta. As someone else mentioned, you should be begging us to sign up for free on a trial basis for the first year till you get the system working and until you attract buyers. If you had us on board, we would promote the site and you'd get your buyers faster. There are too many unknowns.
I'll take my chances and wait for the site to launch. Who knows, you might be desperate for photographers by then and drop your prices. Which are definitely too high for an unknown, unproven system.

It's about 3-6 days now days. Sometimes it's 3 and then it's 5 days. It seems it just may be the new normal.
Are you talking about photos or illustrations ? They have separate teams for reviewing these 2 things.

I share your views and that's why I asked.
One possible benefit I can see however is that this automatic bragging about sales etc might give more search results in Google and boost your name or your company name higher there.

Hey,
I have been wondering what is the point of synchronizing your microstock accounts with social networks like Twitter, Facebook.
I mean for instance the automatic posting on the Facebook wall how many pictures of yours were approved and sold.
Does it have any marketing/financial sense for us stock photographers or is it just a form of free advertising for microstock sites ?
Best,
Michal

I wonder why I didn't get $100 billion for an aerial view of downtown Vancouver?
And that's a good analogy

Maybe I don't understand this high-end art, but come on his pictures are very very avarage. It's not jelousy, it is just a disbelief.
Easy formula: -
1. take an avarage picture on the nearest beach
2. add contrast, vignete and again contrast
3. write some lofty airy-fairy words about general concepts
And now the most important:
4. Set your price to xxx or even xxxx and do not forget to mention the small limit of prints to be released!
Form over content.

It's not because the images reach some kind of specific age or anything...?
good point. But why on hell devaluating images only because of age ? Some of them have >2000 downloads.

Well, dont know whats happend here but FT, must do something about their search, at the moment only old files are selling, you cant even see a new file on first 5 pages. Funny, I see just the opposite. New files are selling and are even in the first pages in the search engine and old well selling files dropped.

I am a gold member and had several images on first pages searching with words like spring, summer, nature. Last week out of the blue my sales dropped about 40% and weekly rank from 180 to 350. Also my most popular images are far in the search engine. Fotolia, why  ? Michal
