Thanks everybody, and to answer the questions, no unfortunately I didn't experience a sudden surge of sales  :o nor had this images a lot of views, but I have had a steady trickle of sales at crestock over the last months, unfortunately nearly all 0.25 subscription sales... SY

I have always said the reviewing should be done by the designers.....but the designers I know wouldn't work that cheap...

Does anyone know how cheap that actually is?  I've always been curious how much a reviewer makes.

In MicroStock between 2-5 $Cents/ image reviewed, depending on the agency, SY

« on: October 30, 2007, 04:07 »
My personal portfolio site is at www.sybilleyates.com, my name but sometime ago I acquired photographicfreedom.co.uk and com because I liked the name and you can add sub domains easily now I have only to work on these sites *sigh* SY

not a single view either.  Not one view!  EVER!

That sounds strange, can you post a link to your portfolio?

No sales for myself so far, but 2 for my referrals. But my views going steadily up, seems traffic has increased to the site, SY

This is a quote from another forum, regarding a similar concern:

"I checked in with support at Fotomind and received a reply from Andrew. Here's what he had to say:

**********
All images submitted before 1october are eligible even if we accept your
125th in december, you still get the 75$

The delay was caused by many people uploading thousands of photos in the last few days, and our image inspectors team could barely catch up.
So don't worry about the 75$, you will receive it. Once we have about
50.000 images we're going to be more customer focused so that we can be sure photographers will get their payouts soon.
We already have > 15k images pending, so we're not far

Have fun!
**********

Just as we suspected...and good to here that they plan to honor the $75 bounty."


That is only an answer that I read on another forum, but before deleting your images I would write support again, they are normally quick and friendly to answer, SY

Yep, my only image is still there but when I click on the thumbnail I get this well known message: "

Sorry, the village became a city overnight.
We're scrambling to keep up!

(We told you we were in Beta!)

We'll be back in a Snap!
In the meantime, feel free to check out our blog, http://blog.snapvillage.com

SIGH, SY

Yep, same here, seems craphamlet, sorry wanted to say Snapvillage developed another bug: "Your username and/or password are invalid." Neat less to say that is was the same user/ password combination I used yesterday successfully... Anything to do with the updated agreement? Change of whatever? SY

Main point that stroke me was that they transferred the jurisdiction to from the US to Ireland, but I am not sure about the implications. I also find it a little bit, lets say, funny to get all this links to pdf files. It might be only me but for some reasons I dislike them. Takes longer to open and is more difficult to navigate. Any more opinions? SY

Nops, uploaded via filezilla two days ago and got all reviewed today (Alleluja-no problems this time!!!). Try to make a fresh connection in filezilla instead of choosing the old one from the drop-down menu, that helps sometimes (computers *sigh*) SY

Eh, haven't you missed a tiny little problem? Uploading/ editing is still disabled at IStock  :-\ SY

« on: September 23, 2007, 10:33 »
I'm curious to know what people who vote NO think.


My guess is that they are the LO employees or affiliates.


I just voted "NO" and the reason is shown in Sharpshots image here: http://tinyurl.com/28tdmk! I don't think that an image like this would be very attractive to buyers because of the watermark, SY

One time I got an image rejected for "limited commercial value" I re-submitted it as it was with a note to the reviewer that if it not sells in ten days I would delete it myself. I had to delete it  ;) But shows that SS is up for a compromise (sometimes) SY
