I've tried a lot of these tools and though I've been using the same one for years, this one looks interesting enough to spend a little more time on. A couple observations. It is looking at recent files; a file of mine uploaded a couple of days ago popped up in my search.
Also, and I may be wrong, but the words you got if you clicked 50 and the ones you got if you click 25 and changed it to 50 aren't the same.
Per relevance, two that showed up in mine were lscape and lmark. I can't imagine anyone ever using those tags to look for an engine, so would question the relevance.
At any rate, looking forward to digging in a bit more.

Yeah, I just asked them to delete all my images and cancel my account. I asked them 6 months ago why none of mine have been released, and why they all have the error of No English Captions, and I'm still waiting.
You cannot have sales because your photos have no Model Release and Property Release Information. They are simply not on sale...
But why are you uploading new Photos every day if you have deleted your account six months ago? your last upload is from today (image 13186244)...
Have you really just come on and started revealing private information about this users account on an open forum?
I didn't say I deleted my account 6 months ago. I said I asked for support 6 months ago and was still waiting. Per your email, I was willing to go on and go through the tedious task if changing all of my images, despite the fact that it kept logging me out and crashing, but since you decided to confront me in an open forum, I will be deleting my 1,200 images, not "uploading new images every day," until you had my complete portfolio of 50K images, and cancelling the account. To everyone else here, in the terse response I got by email, Mr Krabs told me that if I would check the forums, I would see that there were sales here. Also note that if you choose to delete your images it will take 7 months. "Deletion date: 08.07.2019" Goodbye Zoonar. And for the record, I have been doing this for 14 years and this is the first time, despite dismal results or problems, I have ever deleted my portfolio from any agency.

It would take a computer with the processing power of a 1974 Radio Shack calculator to perform such a feat/

done. Note that it is very erratic. Yesterday, in 3 5 file batches, it happened to 1, 5 and 3 respectively. Same camera, shoot and processing

Two questions: First, I sign in using my Stocksubmitter login and it says, "This service is under construction now and only those invited to the beta can use it. "
Did I misunderstand or am I doing something wrong?
Two, I've read the blog, and posts in various places and I'm still not sure I understand what it will do for me. I've been using Stocksubmitter for a long time, and am happy with it. Not sure what the new site does in addition Of course, if I could look at it, I might understand better.
Edit: Ok, actually three questions. If I enable it in Stocksubmitter, what does that do for me in addition to what is already being done?
Thanks

I don't think a dollar is too low for one pixel. 21,795,840 pixels is another thing.

Wow, this is a cheerful, supportive group. I'd forgotten why I don't come here very often. Maybe people should get together and create a forum just for microstock. Oh...wait....
OP, congrats. I remember that day about 12.5 years ago for me. Keep it up and don't worry about the people who apparently have plenty of free time on their hands and nothing better to do than tear people down.
Now, excuse me, I need to get back to creating images.

Probably going to regret stopping by here, but here goes.
In my lifetime, Democrats have never lost an election. ever. Either they win, in which case, there is apparently no shenanigans or cheating, or they was some variation of cheating or other scandal. But lost? Never happened.

Just got my email and redeemed it. Another $10 a month to the bottom line. Sweet.

FTP is pulling the title into the description field and erroring out because it wants 7 words. Just deleting. Not worth the extra effort.

It will come as a shock that iStock has stopped us from using the easiest tool to submit to them.
Per email....
Please use ESP, our mobile app, or one of our approved third‑party tools for future submissions
Keywording quality is essential to make it easy for customers to find and license
your imagery.
After careful review, weve concluded that the overall quality and accuracy of keywords we receive with imagery submitted using StockSubmitter does not meet the high standards we require.
Due to this, we are no longer supporting imagery submitted using StockSubmitter, effective end of day, July 20, 2018.
We value your content and hope that you will instead submit directly to us through our ESP upload tool or one of the third‑party direct upload tools that are available: DeepMeta or QHero.
We believe that by submitting directly to us, your keyword quality will improve, and it will be easier to find and license your imagery. This benefits our customers and increases the potential of your content being licensed.
We have also made significant improvements to the speed and ease of keywording in ESP, both on the desktop and in our mobile app, which we encourage you to take a fresh look at.
Best wishes,
The Getty Images | iStock team

Yeah, Pond upload has been broken for a long time. Several emails to support went ignored. They are still in my FTP list and on any given day it works or it doesn't. Don't waste any more time on them than that.

I think today is a clear indicator of how much of my sales is outside the United States. On Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day, I see about a 30% decline in sales. Today, May Day in much of the world, it's like a slow Sunday.

Don't really care, my payouts there are monthly anyway. What I hate is every time any company makes a change like this, they say something like, "Were implementing a new monthly payment schedule to improve the management of contributor earnings on Bigstock. This monthly payout cycle will increase timeliness and security ..."
Why don't they just say, "We're doing this because it's easier for us?"

Mat, I have a payment that's been pending since Apr 1, and now I have about $75 in sales I can't request payment. There haven't been any large sales that should hold anything up. I couldn't find any contact info anywhere on the site.
Should I go to the Fotolia site to get help? And speaking of which, will these two ever be merged?

Reached Emerald status a few weeks ago and wondering whether I should increases prices from the basic 1 credit to 2 credits. I'm undecided - on the one hand I'd like to try for higher income, but on the other hand I don't want to destroy sales.
Do any other Emeralds have experience they'd like to share?
In my personal account I max out my prices. You may see a decline in credits based sales but the cut would need to be 50% or greater for the change not to be in your favor.
It's important to note that the price can only be increased on files that have been selling in the past 6 months. Any "unsold" files remain at the minimum so that will increase their chance of sales.
If you want to max out your prices, shoot me an email and I'll take care of it for you. [email protected]
Congratulations on reaching the milestone!

Matt, this may have been answered already, but will there come a time when we can manage our images from a single site? I upload to Adobe, but once every few months, I have to go back to Fotolia and try and remember how to find or do anything. It's very confusing and time consuming. Thanks

Told them I don't give those rights on images I sell unless it was contract work and high dollar at that. I'm sure they get a lot of people posting their shots on Twitter that would love the bragging rights. I'd rather make money.
