http://cascoly.com/symbiostock-network.asp  is updated with the latest info - leave a note here for any changes or additions

Change in my entry "Stereoshutter stock images" to "Ajotte stock images" and address to http://ajotte.com 

I now have 333 image on my site and increasing.  Most are from Ecuador ( where I am now living... nestled in the foothills of the Andes, on the edge of the Amazon)
http://stockimages.glennspecht.com/wp/

I will be adding Tokyo in the coming weeks, which should increase my site by 100 to 150 in a large chunk.

I have decided to treat all my images as Editorial  ( I don't have model releases) and mention this is my Usage page.  I don't have many reconizable people

Looking to link with more artistic, travel and environmental photographers.

I could use an update LBarnStockImages.com

When I was out this afternoon (without computer) I did a quick visit to see how many links are going in and out from each site.

I have added the results to my network page at http://stockimages.kerioak.com/symbiostock-network-members/ - if I have missed anyone out or there are any errors I can change them.  The first figure in brackets is the number of links to others and the second is the links in - I make no guarantees that they are correct as we all keep changing things and I was working on phone and multiple bits of paper but they should more or less correct

Hi Cathy - Done.  You do realise it spoils the line of capital letters to start don't you 

Very cool! How did you find the inbound links?

edit- wow, I really do have a small niche for minerals.

I did a search on everyone's site.  Amazing what you will do while you are bored (and sitting around waiting with nothing else to do)
It might be a small niche but that should benefit you I would think as everyone will learn where to come

great work -- this is the sort of info that can be collated automatically in the future for all sites that participate in the symbio network

Thanks - I am looking forward to being able to see this and all sorts of information automatically in the future

I had linked to http://photominingstock.com/.... which broke and also broke the link coming after it.....

Hi Cascoly and Tinny,

Can you please list me as Symbiostock Network Members ?

MSG name: Chrisroll
Website:  http://pixisland.com

Portfolio size: 5000 images, 260 online for the moment.
Would like to link with:   Illustrators, Travel, Landscape and Lifestyle photographers.

Thanks for all 

I realized that I never posted on this thread before

so here it is..


MSG name:cidepix
Website:http://www.cidepix.com/
Topics:Vector illustrations, abstract icons
Looking to link with:Illustrators, and 1 or 2 large photography ports covering a lot of subjects..

I have been thinking for a while for my links for
http://stockabily.com/
I have presently about 1250 pictures on line and 'm targeting 8000 or 10000 for the end of the year
I have for the time already two links for my network
http://cathyslifestockphotos.com/
http://stereoshutter.com

I read that the network will be extended from 5 to 10 which is a good idea. Which made me think it was soon time to extend and complete my slots!
For my networking I like to find more IF POSSIBLE with the following features:
1) Aiming at a size of 3000/ 4000 or more at the end of the year
2) Fair keyword & description of the pictures. I know that this is not my strong point, but I'm making a lot of efforts for my site that I have never made for MS (bulk keywording with collateral mistakes....).
3) Complementary or similar? well I still dont know; so I'm still opne on this point.
4) I think it is clear to everybody that network links are not for ever; we shall be able to experiment with new ones in the light of the results given.

Also I want to find somebody  (from my network or not) who will be interested in mutual sparing partnership in the comming weeks. Me testing his site, he/she testing mine. We should both accept that we have other activities beside this....so no stress....

I am wondering if some similar and some totally different would work best, it is going to be interesting to see how it evolves.  I currently have around 600 online , it is taking time as I am trying to recheck keywords, do the seo and in a lot of cases re-edit as I am more skilled now with PS than I was a few years ago

I've added you to my network list & will be watching what appears from your site.  I've got about 900 images online now, probably aiming towards 5000

when first discussed, it seemed like complementary sites would work best, but I don't think that makes as much sense IF you're ex[pecting traffic to come to your site thru google  etc -- if they don't find what they want on your site, they'll want to see SIMILAR content from other sites

if, however, ypour site gets traffic independently of search engines, then a complementary network might make more sense

I'm very much in two minds. Looking at latest 20 sales on DT, the search term which led to the sale is correct only about half the time, eg searched gas burner, bought butter, searched salmon, bought chicken, searched eggplant, bought mushrooms.

Maybe they had these things in mind for other searches, so having complementary links could work, and it helps to spread the knowledge of what is available on the network.

I know what you mean though Steve, very often when I search our site, nothing at all comes up in our links. I'd like to see those slots filled, but until more people join I guess they will remain empty.
