Title: Approval Rating
Post by: rjphoto on December 13, 2007, 22:12
Good Evening,

I submitted 15 photos to SnapVillage a few days ago and today they accepted all of them. Either I'm that good or they are taking anything you will submit, I think it might be the later :-\

Anyone else finding this to be true?

They accept just about everything as long as it does not have copyrighted material.

They are probably trying to get as many images as possible at the moment but standards might tighten when they have hit the targets they want. 

Bigstock accepts just about everything I send to them and they are doing well.  It might be because they have different images to the sites that have subjective rejection standards.

I've just started uploading my portfolio up to BigStock and they have already rejected 11 of my bestsellers on other sites including one that in the last 6 months has sold nearly 700 times on IS and over 900 times on SS.  Makes me not want to bother.  :(

I uploaded the same 15 Images to Dreamstime and they only accepted 2 of them. Maybe one day one of the smaller sites that accept everything from us now will hit it big and we can all retire millionaires  8)

The other sites are to big ,when they get millions of photos they start to get picky,I believe you should leave the decision to the buyer weather he wants the photo.

And I forgot to say you have sites that are wanting  to build their stock up that are starting off with the same bad habit of rejecting .
