I haven't views for a week on StockXpert, none!
My balance is still 0,00 $, but all is OPT IN,

Three months I have been here, I have about 100 images and still nothing...

Same portfolio makes some earnings even on low earners company!
On SS I passed 100 $...

My approval rate is cca 90 % on StockXpert.

Is StockXpert low earnings company or what!?

It is one of the highest earning sites. Perhaps you need to upload more and give it some time?

My StockXpert are way down this month. Do you guys have no views as well on your recent uploads, looks like a lot of people have this problem at the moment..

I can find my images no problem but I too am not crazy about the sizing. Especially when it doesn't apply to all the images they sell. Here's an example:

http://www.photos.com/en/search/close-up?oid=2818867&hoid=b4320a3fd3cf9ad46883f7b11f953720&eqvc=&vidx=

and mine
http://www.photos.com/en/search/close-up?oid=11204771&hoid=96dd79367df070866e0b62c3d2dd396f&eqvc=&vidx=

What is the size requirement for an EL?

steve-oh · « **Reply #480 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:08 »

Hi digiology,

Thans for bringing this to our attention. That image should be a Super PPD and be available as an EL. We are aware that a few images have been miscategorized and we are working to correct this.

In the meantime, if that images receives any downloads at that size on Photos.com, please let me know.

Thanks!
-Steve

Sales are way way down for me in StockXpert... it started in late July for me. Although I don't have 0 views... it's just very low, usually it climbs up fast.

Steve, I have to say it is a bit of a nightmare for a contributor to have images on Photos.com. It would take me hours to find all of my small portfolio to evaluate if everything was correct. When I did a few searches on launch day, I didn't seem to have any of the ppd options on many photos either. I'd love to look into it and see if for some reason those photos were cropped by me but I just don't have the time required right now.

What are the dimensions we should be looking for again?

I'm not sure where the other content comes from either, but when I was searching for some of my own photos and getting frustrated, I tried to narrow the searches down by keywords, the first pages of results were stuffed with spam.

Thats a relief. Thanks Steve for letting me know. I just hope they fix it universally for everyone and not on a one-by-one basis.

steve-oh · « **Reply #484 on:** August 26, 2008, 13:43 »

It will be fixed on a universal basis. Sorry. I did not mean to infer contributors had to contact us to have the issue fixed on an individual basis.

Just to reiterate, on Photos.com, only "Super", "Ultra", and EPS sized files are sold as PPDs and ELs. "Super" roughly equates to an "XL" Stockxpert image, and an "Ultra" roughly equates to an "XXL" Stockxpert image. An image is categorized as "Super" if its longest side has a length between 3300 and 4824 pixels. An image is categorized as "Ultra" if its longest side is longer than 4824 pixels.

Thanks,
-Steve

vonkara · « **Reply #485 on:** August 26, 2008, 14:01 »

That's unexpected. I have a 16.1mpx square image with the longer side at 4171 pixels

Another at 4429 side pixels at 18.9mpx

StockXpert is dead in the water in August. Zero views on photos uploaded weeks ago. Sad, because I had high hopes. Maybe it will improve in the next few months?

Perhaps I'm just lucky but StockXpert has been doing quite well for me including an EL this month

Same here. Had a BDE recently, plus consistently good days for the last week or so. No Photos.com sales yet, but StockXpert sales are doing well.

DanP68 · « **Reply #490 on:** August 27, 2008, 05:09 »

Same here - BME at StockXpert breaking a BME set just 2 months ago. Things are looking up at StockXpert for my portfolio, and it has sprinted past Fotolia in August.

I have 1 sub sale so far through Photos.com.

sharpshot · « **Reply #491 on:** August 27, 2008, 08:36 »

A slow month for me with StockXpert, well below August 2007. Hopefully this is just ebb and flow.

takestock · « **Reply #492 on:** August 27, 2008, 09:19 »

Heading for my BME at StockXpert.
No complaints!

Well it happened. That image was just downloaded on Photos.com as a large sub!

Gregor909 · « **Reply #494 on:** August 27, 2008, 10:13 »

I just found out that photos.com shows mostly the oldest uploaded stuff from StockXpert.
Come on you programmer guys, I'm missing out on sales!

Pixart · « **Reply #495 on:** August 27, 2008, 10:48 »

I get having a high price for super and ultra...

But I don't get not even offering some kind of extended license for the smaller versions.

Don't you think buyers will find a photo they want and say "What, no extended license? Well screw you, I'm putting it on calendars and coffee mugs anyway. You just saved me 50 bucks."

I can't imagine why it's so difficult to bring over all the photos (that aren't opted out) from StockXpert over to photos.com.

I wrote to support on Saturday, saying that much of my port was missing from photos.com, and gave specific examples.

Despite the message that someone will return my email within 24 hours, it's now been 3 business days, and no reply.

Perhaps they're being swamped with too many people asking similar questions.

That 90 cents for you!

Plenty of downloads at StockXpert for me the last week, but only 1 from Photos.com. I hope the volume keeps up as I just hit another BME with them.

(dont worry thats the end of my blow by blow account
