I recently submitted a batch of photos of street food at vendors in a night market in Taiwan. IS accepted them but excluded the following keywords:
{[Traditional Culture, Food, � Market (Retail Place), � Night Market, � Market Stall (Market), Street, street food, Tourist, Traditional Culture, Market Vendor (Vendor), Vendor (Retail Occupation)]}
I know the general rule for accurate keywording is to keyword only what you can see in the photo, but some sites have mentioned it is important to include information about location, etc if it is relevant to the picture. Pretty much ALL relevant keywords have been removed as well as the context. But irrelevant keywords like "Christmas" (An oversight on my part when copying from keyword generator) have been left in.
Is it worthwhile pointing this out to IS? And if so, is it possible to do it without submitting a ticket for each photo?
Here is an example of one of the photos:

Kozzi was the first site I contributed to when I started MS, mainly as an experiment to see what this whole MS thing was about.

I don't have many sales there, but it is still has better sales for me than CS (As well as Yay, but that goes without saying). So it is not my lowest performer.

That along with the easy upload process (just submit with keywords, and Dan seems to personally add categories for you) make it worthwhile uploading for me.

I found one of my images with the copyright attribution "Източник: Thinkstock/Guliver Photos"

I assume one of my agencies filters photos down to TS as I don't submit there. But I don't get the Guliver Photos part. They are an agency in their own right. Is another agency sending photos to Guliver and then Guliver has a port on TS?

Their system seems to be going crazy. I got e-mails notifying me about 100% rejections of a few batches. But when I edited and reuploaded those photos, it told me that the photos were duplicates of ones that were already approved and online. So the rejection notification was completely wrong.

I'm confused by DT's Referral Program. I got an e-mail from DT a few weeks ago saying that someone had signed up via my referral link. But it didn't show up on my admin page until now.

It says:
1 users were referred by you.
No photographers were referred by you.
No buyers were referred by you. No payment plans were purchased.

What exactly is a "user" If it's not a contributor or a buyer?

If you want to mount it, try these mounted pulley systems:

I have a similar one with three hooks, so I can leave black, white, and another color rolled up and ready to use.

BS: you must contact them with image ID and ask to delete;
DT: you must wait at least 6 months after uploading, and can delete up to 30% of all pictures;
Don't know about Pixta or Kozzi
All other sites: no problems that I am aware, you can delete pictures by yourself

Thanks. So I should check what can be deleted at DT first.

I'd love a refresh page function on the Manage Images page. The only way to do it now is to change over to another option such as "Images Ready" and then go back to "Images Not Ready."

I find it easy to lose track of what I've edited when doing batches of unrelated photos.

I got a reply from DT saying that they have sent legal notification to the site. It may be worthwhile to check what other sites they linking to and report it, to add pressure from multiple sources.

A porn site is using stock images for attracting people using those keywords I guess. Check if any of your pics are there, I found some of mine. NOTE: The links on right are all to porn.

The 430 EX II has a slave mode. That's far easier.

Off topic, but how low in power can the D1 500 go? It might be too strong even at it's lowest setting to use the speedlite to light a white background.

After having one sale on Yay over the course of the last two years, I was shocked to see my second sale there today.

Now that my faith in Yay's sales potential has been restored, I'm wondering how do I go about leaving the fortunes from my payout to my great grandchildren?

How did you achieve that?

According to Yay you have no photos with them

Hi, these are some of my 0 photos at YayMicro. You have clicked on a link that will automatically give you a 20% discount on you first purchase here.

 

That is strange. I have just over 1,200 photos in my Yay portfolio. Either the site generates that link incorrectly or I put the incorrect information in.
