...They get back to you and can be very helpful.
They do? They are?

I also like the idea of having similar/related images displayed on the image page, even if it was something that has to be done manually.

You should also try to time your files to first show up in the search on Monday.
That would be great, but review times aren't that predictable.

I would think an easy enough solution would be for Shutterstock to require illustrators to do this once, pass the test, then allow them to upload their work without "originals" after that.

You can't just submit the original sketch image?
If they are requiring you to submit step-by-step images like this they are insane.

Has anyone noticed that the submissions that have been in the queue the longest also end up way down in the "new" search results when they get approved, or is that just me?
I had some images approved that had been in queue for 2+ weeks and later in the day when they appeared in the search results they were on page 8 on a "new" files search.
I have started uploading one of my less important files immediately after a batch is approved to "get in the approval line" and then start uploading better files after 7-10 days.
Great strategy or delusional waste of time?

So far I have been very happy with SymbioStock, every single one of my images has been accepted.

Another minor issue:
Never edited file, after "process to publish", has "leave a comment" link and all that stuff below, as here:

@ajt, I'm not sure why, but your site is blocked by the firewall where I work. Something for you to investigate.

people who don't have kids have plenty of free time... they just don't know it.
So true. If I had used my time wisely before I had kids, Yuri Arcurs would be working for me.

Steheap
Just now i realize it. I'll do. Thanks.
Finish upload. Works fine after create new watermark .
By the way, new watermark seems bit funny.
Takes some serious skill to hunt hummingbirds.

Screenshot and embed it in the PR
Yuck. I suppose I'll play along if that's what it comes to. The 2-3 week review times makes this whole situation more frustrating.

But how does one provide an original when they create it entirely with software? If they want releases like this they need to require them for every single vector submission. Not some weeks and not others. I can make ink drawings and ink-like drawings. They can't tell which one has an original. So then they've got to require everything has a release. To me, this is unprofessional conduct.
I've been lucky so far, only having run into these rejections once. I have the same problem, 95% of my work is created with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. How exactly do I provide an "original"?

If any one likes the slide show I have on my site it is called Slideshow and is version 2.2.11 by stefanboostra. VERY simple to use and customisable. I intend to add more when I get more images up
That looks nicer than the one I just tried. I'll set this up later tonight. Tinny, you should add links to the image pages from each slide.

FOUND ANOTHER HUGE BUG! The 'Donate' button in the SymbioStock admin area doesn't lead anywhere.

Yikes, that site is BRUTAL. Reminds me of bad MySpace pages.

Had another vector sale yesterday for $.95 commission.
I wish I knew where I could get this deal. I'd buy some artwork for $3 each.

Thanks for the info Leo!
I'm hoping to see some results on Google image search soon. I've been experimenting with revising some of my work so that the version I upload to my Symbio site is different than what has been uploaded elsewhere. Hopefully, I can get some of my older work that is already online at other stock agencies and indexed with Google to appear in it's new revised form and point to my new site.
221
« on: April 03, 2013, 11:33 »
My site has recently been indexed by Google, however the images have not.
I'm assuming that it's a separate process and may take longer than the web search?

Let's keep a thread with a list of plug-ins we have found that work well (or don't work) with the Symbiostock theme.
Example, I used a WP plug-in called "All-in-one webmaster" which allowed me to verify my site quickly with Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools... HOWEVER, Leo found that this plug-in broke the image uploader.
I was able to add my verification codes to the plug-in, verify my site on the various webmaster sites, and then turn off the plug-in to regain use of the uploader.
I'm currently looking for widgets/plug-ins that customize the look of my site (slideshows, drop-down menus, etc.). If you have found any good ones, post 'em up!

Yes, then search for a term in the search box - best if you search for one that exists in your own site when you are troubleshooting

Thanks Steve. I added your site and gave it another try. It sort of works, I see a result of yours, but the thumbnail doesn't load. Go to www.stompstock.com and search for "stars".

I've tried adding some of your sites to mine but I must be doing something wrong.
I just need to add the URL to the networking page and check "activate network" right?
225
« on: April 01, 2013, 23:57 »
Wow, thanks Leo. Never even thought about that!
