    I have it – I think because it came with the premium plugin. It’s what gets submitted to Google for indexing and my files are getting indexed. My site’s ranking is climbing.

    I’m completely ignorant of SEO, so although the above seems to be reason to be happy, I could just be a woefully ignorant bunny 🙂

    I use WordPress SEO by Joost as Symbiostock is engineered to work with it and purchased SYMBIOSTOCK – Image Sitemap from Leo as that fills in the gaps left by WordPress SEO and is specifically designed for Symbiostock

    I use leo”s and yoast and they’re excellent — they complement each other and make submitting to google simple & automatic

    I’m even more ignorant. How do you know if your ranking is climbing or if things are getting indexed?

    I think people are using Alexa for rank (although this just depends how many people have it on their toolbar)

    and Google Webmaster Tools to see how things are being indexed (where you submit the sitemaps to)

    Christine why you need the toolbar? Go to the alexa rank page and type the address to see the rank.
    For images also you can have an idea of how many images are indexed (not accurated 100%) searching in google images your site.

    I think the rank is worked out by the people who do have it in their toolbar ? I don’t, I did but I did not like how it took over so deleted it

    On the indexing (which seems to have stalled in the last few days for no apparent reason)

    You’ll need to verify ownership of your site (putting a file into the root and then clicking a verify button on their site is the way I chose as I didn’t want to depend on tags in a header file as that might change with theme updates).

    I don’t know if Alexa rank has meaning or not, but whatever its flaws, all sites are subject to the same ones, so as a relative measure it seems of some interest. You can just go type in your web site’s URL on their home page:

    http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/stocksy.com
    http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/seanlockephotography.com

    Not surprisingly, Stocksy ranks higher than you do 🙂

    My stats today are

    Global Rank 844,705
    Rank in US 146,858

    Cascoly has a list of all the Symbiostock sites:

    You’ll see how many pages and images got indexed when you sign up to Google Webmaster Tools (after filling the meta tag you receive from GWT into the Yoast WP SEO plugin and submitting your sitemaps).
