iStockPhoto.com / iStock SEO Testing‏
« on: October 28, 2014, 18:20 »
istock: "Hello there,

As noted in our October Newsletter we are actively working towards educating our contributor base on Search Engine Optimization and their content. We are reaching out to a number of our contributors to request for their participation in our Search Engine Optimization testing. Our plan is to adjust the titles and descriptions of 19,000 images from a number of our contributors to meet the testing requirements. You are one of those contributors we were hoping to have participate in this testing.

You can view our article SEO | Help Customers Find Your Images if you would like some additional information on what Search Engine Optimization can do for your images.

The purpose of this test is to understand what the ROI is for updating and optimizing asset titles and descriptions and to understand how description length plays a role in how ADPs (Asset Detail Pages) are ranked in search engines. The 19K assets were selected based on iStocks site analytics data based on visits coming from search, along with customer download behavior. Assuming this test provides the lift we are expecting, it will give us great information to help convince contributors that there is value in having them optimize their incoming / existing asset submissions. Our expectation is that the test will yield a more positive customer experience and increase their purchasing of your assets.

If you are happy to participate you dont need to respond to this email. We will just keep you on our testing list.

If you would like to request a full list of the images and/or videos from your portfolio we will be testing with please use this IMAGE LIST link. We will then send you a breakdown of the files we will be using for the test. Please understand we wont be able to remove specific images nor add any additional images. We will need you to contact us before November 4, 2014.

If you choose not to participate please respond to this email please use this OPT OUT link and we will immediately remove you from our test list.
We will need you to contact us before November 4, 2014. 

We would greatly appreciate your participation."

This site...stocktal...is the justice we need to change everything. It forces other dictators into line and if it doesn't...it makes sense. 78%

A high royalty percentage is a fine thing, but by itself it's irrelevant.  A high percentage of nothing is nothing, and unless there's something that compels buyers as well as suppliers, nothing good will happen.  A new agency that brings in few purchases won't force anybody else to do anything.  Besides, I fear that such a high royalty is (and here comes that word) unsustainable; it leaves the agency with insufficient revenue to fund development and marketing, both of which are required to create a viable business.

I've thrown a few images at Stocktal; if any of them sell, I'll add more.  I've seen too many agencies go nowhere to put in a major effort on mere faith.  But go ahead; I was about to say that your mileage may vary, but I don't believe it will.

I really don`t like ubermansch fanatic stocktal love.  :) But i also do not understand many members. I saw a couple of people talking bad / laughing about 50% business concepts. I saw people want to get higher percentage than 50%. This is a over-50-percent-business (stocktal).. guys..?
Now i read agencys with low revenue can`t make marketing concepts ("..to fund development and marketing"). I saw another thread msg members laughing about the agency`s reply "more than 50% isnt possible. It seems that here are several people who dont like both business concepts. That`s really funny to read:)

But sad at the same time. no matter what is published here, it receives no support. :)

I can see some more problems.. i think there will be no revenue.
For example the bad search engine..
@stocktal
Will it be possible to search with keywords in other languages than english?
I do not think customers always search in international language ;)

And this 2000s look  ::) I do not talk about responsive design.
But i like the stocktal idea. Go better stocktal !

i have now up to 6000 images. 50% is over 8mb..
Will you have a look at your image preview design. It feels a bit out of date. small preview images and so on. i think the look of other agencys with bigger previews is better
its a little bit too small?

If i will earn less for each download i will stop uploading images.

Does someone know the gameing "alpha" status?
Its funny, the publishers talk about things that are naturalness.
Why is priced at something, that should be the standard?
 :D

@Mantis
Look at Nokia mobile phones business. Bm they are out of business now.
Some day they was leader (big player). So i go on with uploading at new site(s).
But only if I can assume that it is worth to support the Agency.

For example. Bad site design at imagegate.com. It looked bad. They never changed something.
There was no season-dependent design. Nothing. Now they are out? I can not access the site at least several days. Sometimes no real business is visible.
