Yeah there’s no way to tell by name in Google Webmasters which have been indexed.

I’m still nowhere near 50% on the indexing. I have to wait for all the image pages to get done so I can remove my first image sitemap. Since I went over 1000 images it created two new ones and I uploaded them both but didn’t know it wouldn’t overwrite the first one.

That would probably make more sense a Social Networking forum with sub-forums for each Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn.

Yeah the comment itself and the site from where the poster was doesn’t make any sense and doesn’t fit with what I’m doing. Doing a translation from French to English doesn’t make much sense either. I’ll leave it sitting in the moderation area for now.

I’m going to need more data evidence as to what’s working and what’s not for me. Two weeks tracking data hasn’t provided me enough information yet. I think I need at least 3 months for that.

I left Facebook over 3 years ago due to the privacy policy. It’s not likely that I’ll go back to them. Trying to find other avenues to advertise in that…[Read more]

I use GA from Yoast which is recording data.

We need more traffic that’s a must just not sure how to go about getting information to the right people. Not enough contacts and not sure where to get them.

I’ve completed all my SEO and I try to blog regularly. GW is indexing albeit slowly and it’s set to ping Bing and Yahoo. There’s got to be a…[Read more]

All that is needed for the agencies is to update their TOS that networked sites are considered an agency and we can all lose our micro stock accounts. Especially when we start to look like an agency.

Mine update on their own except I had to add 3 more of them. Didn’t realize that the first images sitemap would get changed to image-sitemap1 (or whatever it’s called) so it has about 1000 duplicates of urls and images.

OOPS! It does that when your surpass 1,000 just in case you didn’t know that. That’s for Yoast not sure what the other plugin does.

You could also create an image category that says Exclusive Images. I’ve done that on my site and added it to my main navigation menu as well.

The exclusive above the images requires changing the core code. I don’t think that can be changed using the child theme.

Just checked it depends on how much you make a month. The more you make the less they take out of fees. Baseline is 2.9% plus .30 per transaction which is if you make $0 – $3000 a month. You make more than $3000 it goes down and so on.

At the bottom of the page you should see a link that says fees click on that then click on the plus button to…[Read more]

My initial cost has been minimal less than $15 (keeping my overhead down while Google indexes everything). That cost may go up if I change hosting plans on my host or go with a different host (I’m still undecided).

Everyone will be different depending on what they need in a host which depends on how many images they have and how big those files…[Read more]

Hello. I’m Anita Potter and I’m a 3d artist, illustrator and photographer from Colorado. I cover a wide range of subject matter.

Visit http://images.mddu.com and take a look around.

10 hours later and my backup is complete. Heading to your site now 🙂

I agree with Chromaco and I’ll add this:

Some people might not want to set up their own site as it’s extremely time consuming. I just finished uploading my normal port this morning and that took me a month including all the SEOing as well as setting up my main site inbetween. They’re probably discouraged since there aren’t many sales…yet but…[Read more]

I’m not sure how far mine is. I finished up all of my portfolio uploading this morning so there are unaccounted pages. I don’t even think I’m 50% through yet.

It sure loves to take it’s sweet time too.

Nice site love the 3d. I do 3d as well. I’m in the middle of a site backup right now and will add you once that’s done…if it ever gets done.

Okay I’ll see if I can get it to work for me 🙂

*edit*

I would if I could figure out where to get the silly app from :/

I found it.

When I promote my site on Twitter I use the #Symbiostock and I’ll hashtag photos, illustrations, vectors and put a link to my site.

I have multiple twitter accounts and TweetDeck and if I want I can post about SY and/or my site from both accounts at once. Makes it easier though I have to keep an actual Twitter browser window open since TweetDeck…[Read more]

I have a LinkedIn account and haven’t used it all that much. I just joined the SY group so see what happens from there. Definitely not the easiest site to get around so time to dive in and see how to use it to attract buyers.

Definitely if you go the slideshow route that you should use some kind of music in the background as it helps with visualizations so I’ve been told.

I’m going to look into doing that once I’m done with uploading and processing. At least another weeks work of site work then I can definitely start marketing more.
