Hi all,
just published an overall comparison table 2010 -> 2009 at:

http://www.mystockphoto.org/fotolia-2010-pricing/

If buyers will continue with Fotolia  ???... the average royalties will be better.

Cheers,

You can also "force" the new IP adding in the file "hosts" the following entrie:

205.134.239.191      microstockgroup.com
205.134.239.191      blog.microstockgroup.com
205.134.239.191      www.microstockgroup.com

It works, for me ;-)

Hi Leaf, thanks for the mention of mystockphoto.org
I'm trying to set up a few albums there just to see how it works:
http://fotoglif.com/user/vgoq2vwt1ob8

Their creative catalog is really at the beginning. Useful info on a fOTOGLIF's tweet:
"might be kinda cool to setup a photo-call area of the site for pubs to request content they need for posts from photogs"

Cheers,

Crestock.com / Re: Introducing the Crestock WordPress Plugin
« on: September 30, 2009, 09:09 »
"When a blogger use your images, the WordPress plugin will insert a clearly watermarked image as well as a caption with links embedded pointing to the corresponding image page on Crestock."
I am also a blogger and I don't like the idea of using a watermarked image... It's different but I prefer to use something similar to Microstock Photo Plugin for Wordpress http://www.mystockphoto.org/microstock-fotolia-photo-wordpress-plugin/ : I can buy a blog size photo and use it where I want on the blog and without watermark (with caption with credit to the photographer).
Cheers,
          roberto

What is wrong with BSPs home page? I always thought it one of the best and most informative of all the sites.

Hi Larry, it's just my opinion of course... too full, too many links and images.

Hi all,
If they will invest in marketing and infrastructure, it could be good for BigStock's contributors... I suggest them to invest also in a restyled home page ;-)
Just an Alexa Rank joke:
istock + stockxpert = 342 + 6239 = 6581
shutter + bigstock = 1208 + 5347 = 6555
Cheers,

Hi, great!
I can also suggest Rob Davies @bobbigmac's post "202 Challenging Subjects when Shooting for Stock" with data coming from his picNiche system.
Challenging Subjects, in other words Clichs!

Hi All,
I have a Pro account and I'm using it as a FrontEnd Portfolio, like very much. You can drive your clients or people interested to see your work trough a neat portfolio site (with your domain, i.e. my pro site is http://portfolio.mystockphoto.org

I spoke with Dan James, co-founder of Clustershot, and you can read some interesting things he said here:
