added you to the global search at http://symbiostock-search.com (http://symbiostock-search.com)

however, I saw that all your images & descriptions are "stock image by..."

looks like you're not captioning before uploading?  adding iptc first saves you from having to add it multiple times for different agencies, etc.  more importantly, you're losing the benefits of SEO in sym by not having distinct titles and filenames

Thanks for  adding my site to your search engine, I appreciate it.

I just recently started selling stock, so I haven't been in the habit of adding the IPTC metadata to my images.  Right now I am going through the 250 odd images I have and adding detailed titles, descriptions and keywords.  I got through a number of them last night. 

I plan on doing this directly in Aperture in the future to make the process easier.
