123RF / why is 123rf FTP server so slow?
« on: July 01, 2008, 12:52 »
On every agency I upload, I can use my maximum uploading speed alowed by my ISP which is about 25 kb/s. But only 123rf has the slowest FTP server, and upload speed is half of it - 12 kb/s. Why is it so slow always?

Adobe Stock / Popularity?!
« on: June 17, 2008, 08:56 »
There is new search criteria on FT: by Popularity.

I have few thousand images online, and when search by popularity iz shows only about 70. What is this new feature, does anybody know how it works? I think it has something to do with number of views. I am smelling lower sales because of this.... (imagine someone search for "healthy food" sorted by popularity, and none of your images are there....

Perhaps first images in results are those with less number of keywords? Just a theory, not sure...

123RF / 123rf payment?
« on: June 07, 2008, 09:13 »
Today I got 101$, but I read they process payments every 3rd day in mont, so I am late for payment this month, am I correct?

So, they are going to pay me on 3rd july all the money I have? (example 150), is that correct?

Adobe Stock / FT subs sales dont count in ranking

"Contributor ranking

On Fotolia, a contributors rank is determined by the total number of files sold (except files sold with subscription). The higher the rank the more files that contributor has sold. There are 8 levels that represent the contributors rank and the number of photos sold. The table below outlines each level and its corresponding symbol. "

bummer. at least I was hoping with subs I'll reach emerald faster. Guess thats not going to happen that "easy". neat.

Adobe Stock / sales on FT since search engine change?
« on: May 12, 2008, 08:23 »
How are your sales at FT since some 10 days ago, since relevance odred is messed up? Mine are disaster. Today (monday) 1 sale! And it is end of EU work day. By now I should have at least 25-30 sales on normal days. And this is in 10 last days also... total disaster. How about you?

Adobe Stock / Thieves at fotolia
« on: April 19, 2008, 05:54 »


some russian guy has entire portfolio of stolen images... lol.

I think I know why some images cant be find by search engine.

Problem are multi word keywords. If you have at least one multi-word keyword in your image, almost all other keywords are scredwed up, and cant be found. Why? Because serach engine stuck on first eror in keyword list for that particualr image, and search no more.

for example if you have an image with those keywords:

"red apple" fruit, food, healty, vitamins....

the chance is that almost no keyword would be found. But if there are no multi word kws, they would be probably all found (and not only first 7, but all).

Correct me if I'm wrong with your example.

« on: April 08, 2008, 09:58 »
Hi! When I upload with FTP, and process images, do I have to click on every image answer YES (for model release), and then go to RELEASES and atach release for every image. Or can I skip this "YES" answer, and straight go to RELEASES and attach MRs.... ?

123RF / my first sale at 123
« on: April 07, 2008, 12:29 »

And I didnt even finish uploading my portfolio, this is my 3rd day at 123rf (including weekend).  :D

The funny thing is that this image is the only I faved! (I waint until I upload all of my images and I will fave about 120 of them (5%). lol! Faving the images realy do make a difference! :)

Shutterstock.com / Do you downsize images for SS?
« on: April 05, 2008, 09:34 »
I dont. Why? I have a theory that if a byer notice that all my images are full size he will bookmark my portfolio and keep tracking what is new, and buy more of my images, rather thatn from someone who do downsize images. That is my theory. I never downsize. The 0.3$ per image is maybe a low price, but I want to sell as much as posible, to make it up in quanity.

What is your opinion about downsizing? Right thing, or wrong?

123RF / this site is a joke!
« on: April 05, 2008, 05:57 »
Lol! I uploaded last night 550 images, all accepted. I wondered why until I saw this:

My image:



Someone elses simmilar image (accpted also):



LOL! How did this ugly blury sandwich get passed? No wonder why they accept all of my works, I expected few rejections, but none so far. Still have about 2000 more to upload. Hope the sales will be at least 50$ per month..... if not, it is wasted time.

I also saw a lot of scrabble images (letter cubes), which are copyrighted on every other site...
