I also got accepted in 3 days and with only 4 images available for viewing I have received already 2 views of my images!! This could be
interesting. Good luck to everyone involved.

Merry Christmas to everyone,
Sharply I will miss your advice.
My main goal will be to produce enough images to be able to pay my yearly home taxes about 8,000 usd. I have a long way to go but I'm willing to work hard.
Thanks to all of you for all that I have learnd in the few months of reading your thoughts and instructions.

Slow for me on most sites even SS. I wonder the reason is since most users of SS [this from that thread on website visits/country posted a while ago] are from the US and we are heading for a double long weekend. Maybe alot of people are going on vacations?

Can uploads be divided into smaller batches [4 images lets say]with a day or two in between? Will they review these batches individually or as a whole?
Anyone use this strategy or am I just wasting my time?

Hi Mark not much time to reply now but I will tell you this I do all my work as far as image details off line.
1. Photoshop: file info- input title description keywords- save image
also I don't use noise reduction what I do is reduce image size to
lessen the possible noise rejections
2 afterwards I upload to SS for spelling check, its easier than getting dictionary!
3 Upload to the Rest of the sites I am on
4 I do small batches say 5 max becuase of SS
5 Because all info is coming with images very little needs to be done on
the actual site.
6 I don't use filezilla because of the small amount of images that I submitt at a time.
Hope someone with more experience writes more so I can also learn but this is what I have picked up in the year and a half.

my # of views on my 17 images on DT have blown away the # of views on the 36 images at BigStock even though the BigStock images had a good month on DT. This tells me that the traffic at DT is much higher than BigStock ...
Mark forget the views some of my images only get viewed a few times before they get bought. Also I have an image at dt that has been looked at
over 700 times with only 4 downloads
BigStock requires more data input to upload to its site than several other sites. I use this to my advantage by often uploading new material there first, so that I have the most complete copy of data there (title, description, keywords etc.) Their keyword dialog box retains the commas which are needed at other sites after cut-n-pastes. They also keep track of all rejections. DT's list is only 7days long. This is a benefit to BigStock when I want to find data for an image that's been rejected, that I think will work on a different site.
Are you not placing your file info on the images before you upload? It sounds like you are not correct me if I'm wrong.

Uploaded my inital 4 and got accepted  in less than 3 days.

An uncompressed file size of between 48MB and 200MB. If you use Photoshop the uncompressed file size can be found in the bottom left of the window or on the image size dialog box. Dont forget if youre using 16bit RAW files to change them to 8 bit before you upsize them.
My interpolated 49MB images when saved as a compressed jpeg have a file size of just over 6MB.
Excuse my ignorance on this subject but can this be done with images that were shot as jpg. Will there be poor quality on the file produced.

SS first for the spelling errors that might offur and also because they have a very short review time.

I have been having the opposite experience lately, SS is taking most of my illustrations and photos while the other sites reject them. Also my sales are increasing at SS the more they accept. DT is treating me like a small child by some of the rejection reasons and most of what IS throws back is selling at SS right after it goes into their system. I know that buyers are always looking for the newest at SS but older images keeping selling. I'm very happy with SS because I see the rewards of my efforts.

Just a thought is there anything that by mistake can be clicked on DT to keep
the images from been sold [license box]? I know that without deleting you can still make them disapear from the searches.

Following up on this original question: Any downloads yet?

Thank you Norma, i have been selling on other sites but only one at LO. By the way on the image I commented on it seem to me that you could work on adding more keywords. The garden in front of the house is lovely. Maybe add
words such as landscape, entrance,walkway,bushes[name the trees]architecture, it has more potential than just what you have added. Another
thing maybe is my monitor or maybe the way LO displays the imgages but the image seems to lack contrast, the colors are muted, just my opinion. Thanks again for the comments.

I guess after a year of stock I'm paranoid about copyrighted labels!!
