I am only selling at SS, BigStock and warmpicture. I just found all of my images on vectors123 dot com, baby-stockphotos dot com and wedding-stockphotos dot com. All three of these sites have the same page design, so I assume they are related.
The problem is, I have opted out of all partner programs. I checked Sadstocks list and these do not appear under SS or BigStock. Does anyone have any info about that? Thought I would check here before sending an email off to SS and BigStock.

It just links to SS when you try to download, I think it is just a referral site.

Yes, I did notice that. I just thought that this fell under the opt out of partner programs umbrella. No harm, I suppose.

It is. The referral link at the bottom is connected to this empty portfolio;

Glad it was just a false alarm. I can see why you got excited, though. Opting out of partner programs is a personal decision. If somehow your portfolio leaked through the cracks, I would be pissed as well.
Wow, what a lot of work to create an entire website just to snag a few referral sales. Smart people. I hope all of the effort was worth it for them. I wish I could find some motivated and willing people to do something like this with my direct sales website & affiliate program, because every link helps in this business.

Do you mean the link from "Images and Data by Shutterstock" at the bottom of vectors123 page? Because I don't see any other referral link.

The one I looked at was on the bottom of the wedding-stockphotos site but they appear to all be linked to each other.

Yeah good find, the line looks like this and is a link but not very visible. Link site, nothing else. Data by Shutterstock.

On a related note what exactly is this site:-
http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/stock-photos.php?hleda=school+fish (http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/stock-photos.php?hleda=school+fish)
Found a lot of mine and friends pictures on there. They seem to use SS,FT and others. I can't work it out, theres upload image options mentions of a business model but clicking on an image goes to SS.
What is this site meant to achieve for anything?
