Hi
I'd like to ask some of the more technical people about the possiblility of developing video
This is going to use a lot of bandwidth so on a shared server e.g. bluehost would you be better off getting a separate hosting account and site?
if a video clip is like 300-400mb can these be uploaded on bluehost with the memory constraints in mind?
Could the search engines be adapted to take video if i managed to adapt my site?
I imagine to create a video plugin would take a lot of work
Kind regads

As I'm increasing my efforts with SEO, spam is also increasing!
I guess at least that tells me that my site is getting found

Following their two price cuts in a year about one year ago and their most recent tactic of lowering the prices of unsold images it makes me question whether we need another deactivation day but this time for Fotolia.
I have around 1200 files with them.
What are other peoples thoughts?

Do u think that the big guns eg SS, DT, FT or IS are watching and monitoring the development and growth of symbiostock?
Do you think they are concerned that if it gains momentum it could be a serious threat to them?

I have about 1100 images with agencies that are already indexed. I dont want to send them any more. However if i follow the yoast SEO to get greens on all the images will it be worth it if the images are already indexed with multiple agencies?
Also a couple of other questions
Should we be renaming the files from like img9987.jpg to businessman in suit.jpg?
Also does symbiostock add "alt text" to the images?
Im trying to learn seo. Don't know if anyone knows the answers to these questions.

Hi
For some strange reason my latest images tool isn't updating. For the last few days the latest images were delayed coming through and displaying, now it won't seem to change at all.
I'm thinking there could be two reasons:
WP super cache?
portfolio too big so its draining hosting server? porfolio size is now 1230
Anyone else got this problem? or know how to solve it?
Kind regards
Mark

I've set up a "Fellow Symbiostockite" page on my site http://www.picture5479.com/fellow-symbiostockites/I want to list a brief description about the photographer and 1 or 2 images with links embedded to your site. I thought this would be a rather good idea for networking. If you want to be included either pm me with a description and links to 1 or two images or email me [email protected] with the same information. It would be nice at the same time if others offered a similiar feature so that we can all gain from backlinking. Kind regards Mark

These are my ideas on how to promote our own sites. However, feel free to comment on my ideas or other ideas:
Write blogs on separate sites and point them towards our own site
Set up a flickr account and point towards our site. Not sure how possible that one is as what content would I upload to flickr. Do they allow watermarked images?
Use photos to create a video slide show with watermark and upload to you tube which then points towards our site.
Craigslist/gumtree ad/friday ad
Any other ideas?
My site is near completion so I'm now thinking of marketing.
Kind regards
Mark

Lack of trust is mine, what is yours?

Although none of my images were included in the getty/google deal as to yet, I see the potential for this to undermine the whole industry. I have deactivated all 535 of my isolated people images.
I would like to thank my fellow contributors for standing with me and supporting our combined action. I also call upon others to protect your future interests.
Threats of possible backlash from deactivating my images do not bother me as I wouldn't have deactivated them unless I knew that my work can sell equally well elsewhere.
I remember another contributor saying that Images need to be distibuted responsibly, and I don't think that is currently happening at IS.
I suspect I will get banned from IS for this post for inciting action against them. However, as they currently do not sell my images, I can lose nothing.

Thats put a cat amongst the pidgeons!
didnt they partner with 123rf? if i have work on 123rf that is mirrored on p5 will that cause a conflict of interest??

Anyone noticed on the upload that they now list specs for video. Are they going to offer video ??
I hope they do, but there rates would need to be higher than 0.3$ to pull me in on that one.

Hi Everyone
Sorry to rant but I am absolutly fed up like everyone else of people just taking my watermarked images. I have now decided im going to start going after these people and if needed prosecute a few of them!
Today I found two of mine on one website along with someone elses photos. Im not going to discuss where these are as I intend to deal with the offender in a harsh manner.
Ok rant over back to editing photos now.

Is it possible to send the same images to microstock and to Alamy for both RM and RF or is this not allowed?
I already contribute to most microstock but was considering going for Alamy. I mostly do people on isolated backings. Do you think its worthwhile me trying for Alamy?
admin edit: changed the subject to be more descriptive.

This site has 6-7 watermarked images from DT. I have already contacted them about one of mine requesting a license.
Its at the bottom of the front page
If anyone knows any of the other contributors maybe they could let them know. I did check but i cant contact any of them
Thanks
Mark
