I searched for "butterfly,landscape,meadow"

- Result here: http://www.stockxpert.com/browse_image/search/text/butterfly%20landscape%20meadow/sorted/4/page/3 (This is page 3, by popularity)

2 people only in the first pages and you get all their portfolio, including electric guitars and all the stuff you wont even think about. Most of the images don't even have the selected keywords.

Add to this the last delayed payout, the keywords spammers issue and new images without views for 1 or 2 weeks (before they appears in the photos.com and JIU collections)

I wonder how many people still work there after getty have brought the place. I know we don't hear about steve-oh anymore. Maybe he's on holiday because of the birth of his baby, but the place look left alone right now.

for a couple of months i have been getting the strangest reviews from StockXpert . almost a year with them, i have always said they were the best next to Dreamstime.
Now , as i've already wondered what has been happening with my images in queque sitting there for weeks, (usually reviewed in hours).
i think the animals have left with the barn door wide open.
ghost town soon !

pity, the reviewers were really fast and good with me . what a way to die !
p.s.
i've already started deleting many of my images that i have also with other sites. i don't want them on StockXpert the way things have changed.

Looks like they are having a site upgrade. Hope it helps improve sales, mine suck.

Steve-oh took a different position with the takeover. I think he said he's working with JUI now, instead of forum liaison. There was supposed to be someone new showing their face for StockXpert, but I can't remember who it is, and don't think I've seen them post.

I pulled us out of the subscription and affiliate programs. We are still getting sales, but they are pretty slow. But it feels better to sell an XL image as a credit sale than a subscription sale. JUI subs were out of control for us.

Reviews are pretty quick for us, within 12 hours. And we get some views. Not a whole lot, but I know they aren't all "pity" views, because while most have one view, others have plenty more.

As long as they don't get stupid and charge their customers more while reducing our pay, we'll hang in there.

I don't talk about reviews or sales here, StockXpert is in first class at the moment for this for almost everyone. I actually talk about the search engine who show irrelevant results and newer images who aren't see the lights before weeks or more. StockXpert is on the right way for many things but the search is too important for them to let those kind of results happening.
