Symbiostock is at 56,000 images already.
BTW "Scan network and update directory" looks to slow, blank page 90% of the timeIt just needs a giant loader icon.
I still have 700 images that need to be uploaded, wont be in two weeks as I need to do SEO per image, but I will do my best.That should definitely be a consideration for everyone. Which makes it that more challenging. The network thrives in search due to everyone's keeping that regimen.
Your poll options are ridiculously black and white.Sorry, what kind of monitor are you using?
It just needs a giant loader icon.I mean, it does not finish. probably 30 seconds limit which is to slow, and there are only few sites on the list
[url]http://symbiostock.info[/url] ([url]http://symbiostock.info[/url]) 23711 - the same images added again to the basket?

Leo you need sleep. She means the poll is very two sided, like yes or no. There is no moderate answer ;)Oh ok. I'll add something in the middle for shady sue to vote on.
The first 100 images I uploaded dont have SEO, they have been indexed yet, the one where I did SEO with the Yoast, do already show up. So I need to delete those images and redo them, and then add the other 600 new images.

I would join the fun if I could understand how the whole thing works :D Even though there are so many posts about this, everything is so confusing. Do you have a tutorial for extreme noobs?

Hi Symbio community ;D
Firstly I want to congratulate Leo for all the work on the latest months and now all contributors joining building their own Symbio websites, it is just impressive, well done!
Secondly I am sure this was talked before but I have been thinking why don't we all join together in just one site instead of everybody working on their own sites?
I understand that working on our own we can work on the design, the prices, the collection, make it a little like our home but I believe the audience would grow a lot faster if we had just one site, something like an agency, everybody would be free to upload whatever they wish, pick their own prices or we could come up all with an agreement and of course we would share expenses (hosting, domain, etc etc)
I guess it would be the real cooperative, sorry if I am having a dumb idea, sure you guys wonder about this before
best of luck everybody!

As things mature people will have more themes and more convenience, and I'm sure someone interested enough can set up a Symbiostock site hosting service which takes away 100% of the burden for people, allowing them to upload their images and not have to do anything else.
And also, what you are suggesting Luis, sounds almost like another agency. If some people are responsible for working on the site and maintaining it, etc., next thing you know, a percentage of sales are going to be asked for to pay for that work. I think your key words that explain why SY is NOT what you are talking about are these: "we could come up all with an agreement and of course we would share expenses (hosting, domain, etc etc)". It might be very tough to come up with terms that everyone would agree on. SY is the best of both worlds.
I'm preparing to create my symbio site, I want it to look neat so it will teak some time, but if all goes ok, it will add about 6000 pics to the network.
I have to admit I'm intrigued by the whole Sy thing, but for the time being I'm watching from the sidelines. It looks like it's a fair amount of work for a payoff that, at the moment, isn't there yet... unless I'm missing something? When the threads start popping up with people saying they're getting daily sales, I'll be motivated to jump in. For now, I'll watch and wish everyone the best.It looks like a lot of work because there are so many sites being opened and people posting about everything. If I look at my own work, it took me a few good hours to set it up. But once its set up, its maintenance and uploading images. I think people that were engaged with the initial testing and bug fixing had indeed a lot of work to do. But if you step in now, its really quick and easy considering you can build a complete working website without any involvement of a web developer or having to have programming / coding skills. The more people join the network, the more chance of getting towards daily sales. If everybody watches from the side lines, the growth and momentum slows down. But I understand your point.
AJT! Whats our current file count at?
I am adding images as we speak. I kept postponing it as I had to do SEO on all 280 images I had already published and couldnt get myself to sit down for it. But now I have, and I am not adding the other 500. Ugh, cant wait for it to be complete. I can see hits on my images via google by the way.
I only see 50 sites amd some are old test sites -- what are the new sites?http://symbiostock.info/about/ (http://symbiostock.info/about/) :)
64,570 now.
4k of those in the last week.
Besides, in marketing, negative publicity is just as good as positive publicity. It makes people look to see what everyone's talking about. :)
