Maybe Istock will become exclusively exclusive, contributer wise, while StockXpert/et. al. we be for independants only.

Wow! They seem relevant to me, with the exctption of {Clean (good condition)} and they probably had tagged that one represent something like clean used car.

...I've seen DSLRs dropped onto concrete from 4 ft and sustain nothing more than a broken filter.

hmm. Seems strange. Pentax has always gotten good reviews on noise -- always been their strong point. I have a K100D and have very little noise problems.

Sad indeed. I'm the same age, and I can tell you FOR SURE than 57 is way too young to die. I, too, will miss is posts, as I have for the past few months.

I logged in this morning to check progress and noticed that all the pictures in my gallery have been rearranged since yesterday. I wonder if this means the best match for keyword searches has also changed???
I also had a SALE, the first in two weeks, so I hope something has changed and that he keeps working for me ;-)

Thanks for all of your input.
I, too, believe one can get caught us with too much detail. However, one can also over simplify. What I am thinking of doing, is carrying forward to closing number of images online for each agency to the beginning number of images for the next month. Then, at the end of the month, I enter in my closing number of images, and use the average of these two numbers to calculate RPI. Using excel, it would mean no additional entries, just complitact the RPI formula slightly. Seems to me this would be the best all things considered, and once I get more and more images online the error would continue to decrease.

both my wife and I have finally gotten enough photos uploaded and are getting enough sales to begin to make tracking meaningful. I do, however, have a question about obtaining a meaningful RPI calculation, and that is what to use for portfolio size.
We both uploaded a fair amount this month. I probably increased my port size by 30% and my wife by 50%. If I use the portfolio size as it is now, end of the month, I actually see a fair sized drop in RPI over last month, even though my sales are much higher. I'm wondering if a more meaningful approach would be to use an average between first of month and end of month portfolio size for the calculation.
What do you think?
I know I only seeing this discrepancy because I don't have that many files on-line (about 150 or so), but even with mid-sized portfolios a busy month of uploading could skew the RPI results, right?

Could also be a cock-up in his filing system -- a file mistakenly copied for the uploadED folder to the TO UPload folder -- and when he keyworded the new file he choose the different licensing program.
I have mistakenly uploaded the same file twice -- and selected different categories for each file -- but with a port a small as mine it stuck out like a sore thumb and was quickly corrected. With a larger port, I could see it slipping by.

I got a 30 cent sub sale today -- the first in 8 days. I'll share it with you, Trebuchet

I, too, have seen a marked increase in rejection in the past couple of months. Last batch had 9 out of 11 rejected. (most approved on other sites). Most common reasons are composition, uneven lighting and focus not where they thought it should be.

What is the time frame? How long before they start promoting the site and selling images? vivozoom.com doesn't even load yet.

I just looked at, and left comments on, your boat dock and swift army knife pictures.

SS started out very strong for me this month, but the past week has been dismal.
