Hi All -
As many of you have already noticed - we pushed a release live on veer.com this past weekend.
This post here - http://ideas.veer.com/group/marketplace/discussions/162 (http://ideas.veer.com/group/marketplace/discussions/162) - covers the details, but wanted to share the news here as well.
The recently redesigned veer.com is off to a great start, but we’re not content to coast. Veer is working hard to continue updating our site, making improvements in usability and features for both contributors and buyers. Last weekend, a release that included numerous site enhancements went live.
Here are the changes we think you will be most interested in:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Improved statistics and royalty reporting:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based upon your feedback, we’ve improved the royalty reporting stats on the dashboard to better show you your current and lifetime earnings, as well as changed the customizable date range from weeks to months to better support offline reporting.
It’s been clear from talking to many of you that the table view showing sales was much more useful than the graphs, so we made the table view the new default, but the graphs are still visible if you choose.
We’ve also made the “download as .csv” link more visible for you Excel junkies. ;)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Batch-enabled uploading:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We’ve improved the look and feel of the upload interface, and added batch functionality for keywording and disambiguation. You can now add or remove keywords to multiple images at once. When editing keywords, you can now toggle between “shared” and “superset”. “Shared” shows only the keywords common across all selected images. “ Superset” shows the all of the aggregated keywords from all selected images. Happy keywording!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New localizations:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We’re also working to get more eyes and sales on your images by making the site more accessible to a wider array of customers worldwide. This release included French and Italian localization of veer.com, in addition to our existing German and UK sites. Veer is now better able to support buyers in the biggest European markets, and forthcoming marketing initiatives in Europe will help spread the word. Localization not only includes site graphics and copy on customer facing pages, but also search (through the power of our CV).
Check the Ideas post to see a few screenshots of the Veer homepage in German, French and Italian.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stay tuned as Veer continues to work hard to drive more traffic and customers to your images — and make your site experience an excellent one.

Thanks Brian
Seems to be working already had my best day yet today $40+

Thanks Brian, and to all working hard behind the scenes to improve things for contributors. :)
-
Brian, Thanks for listening to us!
BTW, last week I sent an email to contributor help forwarding an issue regarding important keywords that have been deleted from an image which prevent the image to show up in searches, and have had not response yet. I used to have responses the day after the request or in a couple of days and this time it's taking a while. Could you please have a look into this? Thanks,
Pere

i still see extreme small and wrong preview image size on eps vector.. it is not only mine, but i saw quite a few through random search in veer.
-
Thanks for the updates Brian. when I logged in today I also saw than on the 'submit' page you can choose to list 20, 50, 75, or 100 images instead of just the 20 you could before. Nice little changes like this are great to see.
-
Thanks Veer! I was among those who asked for monthly reports and it's nice to see that you are listening to contributors. Thanks again.
Regarding localisation, I would like the language preferences to be saved as a profile setting instead of a cookie (which is reset each time temporary files are deleted)
-
Hey Brian-
That's a whole lot better! I could never figure out the other way. And- a lot more sales recently. Great work-Keep at it!

What I really miss there is simply a regular Forum like at the leading Agencies
And have to say I am rapidly loosing heart at Veer and in fact stopped working on key-wording as my second batch ( following application) of around 30 Images have been pending for around 6 weeks now which is totally unacceptable imo regardless of any promotions etc
Shame I had high hopes after getting all my application 10 Files approved the same day
