that page is the audience/overview page, but it’s not the default — there should be an audience button/link on your dashboard on the left hand side, which can take you there
clicking on realtime/overview should work too
not a big loss for us as we were only going to make a quick look at arches — our next visit will include those, and santa fe taos area

mine is now set to start on that page, but it’s audience/overview, set to report by day
I just noticed my google analytics report crashed to 0 on sep 27 for my sym site, while staying normal for my other sites; and webmaster still shows traffic
haven’t had a chance to figure it out yet
I just noticed – we seem to be REAL close to getting reported:
Cutcaster 0.8 arrow
Crestock 0.6 arrow
ClipartOf
Stocksy
Self-Hosted
RevoStock
ImageVortexwhen the poll was rebooted about a year ago, the avg earnngs for SS was set to 100; then each other agency was reported based on that number
eg, if actual avg sales on SS was $250, then if avg for DT was $125 it would show as 50 on the poll
it gives a relative indication of how sales are at different agencies. based on our reports, symbiostock would probably rank in the top 10 but we don’t have enough people reporting yet.
when you do the poll it’s important to show those agencies where you got $0 (if you have a portfolio with them)
it’s a bit confusing at first, so just work thru one with just a coupla images – you can always discard it later
but after that, the main time is spent selecting the images to include

We’ve been traveling in Utah & the Grand Canyon over the last month, and the biggest hurdle is working through the thousands of images that fall in front of my camera – only India and Antarctica have been so target rich!
This was an exploratory trip for us, mixing hiking days with lots of driving, but we’ll definitely be back.
I was in Utah this past month too. Bet our paths crossed without knowing it. Maybe you were that guy with the tripod I saw in a field one beautiful evening in Arches National Park?!
didnt make arches – had thought about hitting it on the way home, but now it’s closed
we started at capitol reef on the 20th, then moved thru Bryce to st George; spent 27-30 at N & S rims of grand canyon and resting today at pinetop
what was your route?

I’ve been using a single image from among the collection as the quickest way to set up a collection, then will go back later to edit it.
http://cascoly-images.com/pix/image/hot-air-balloons-collection/
***** known problem: the collections feature needs to dislay ALL images, not just the first 24…
here’s how I do it:
– upload images
– publish at least 1, others can be private —
– click to create a collection name it ‘XXX’
– batch editor — find your preview image — set pricing and set that image to be the preview
– then select other images from private & add to collection
— add to list of collections for easier display (i created a separate page that lists collections)
http://cascoly-images.com/pix/image-collections-cascoly/do you have 2 active sites? http://miami-skyline.com being the other one?
from http://symbiostock-search.com when I do a search for ‘miami’ using http://stockphoto-images.com I get 0 results — and when I look at your actual keywords, there is no entry for ‘miami’
http://cascoly.com/symbio/list.asp?list=203&site=http://stockphoto-images.com
using Miami skyline I get results and clicking takes me to that site
—
so, did you somehow delete the Miami keyword from your images? (maybe using the batch editor in pro version?)
Welcome Dmitri — you forgot to mention your site name http://viewfactorimages.com !
I’ve added you to the global search at http://symbiostock-search.com
You can find other sites by specialty at

I used to have a wordpress plugin that was available to general wordpress sites…it would search my database and provide thumbnail or watermark images for use on condition that backlink was retained. In general its pretty helpful (your on the right track) although it doesn’t give HUGE amounts of traffic, every bit of linkjuice and click is welcome.
anyone can already extract those links from the results page on symbiostock-search.com, but not all sites give explicit permission to do so. this will make the process a bit more transparent and will also encourage users to contact those without the ‘free’ flag before using the image thumbnail

I’d love to have a genuine trial of PE when it is fully working. Having signed up for the trial and being told they were working around the clock to go live back in November 2012, I soon realised it was a complete waste of my time, I’m very wary now.
I’d love to see PE work but all of us paying them $10 a month or more for a service that buyers might only use occasionally doesn’t appeal to me. I also don’t really understand the advantage of using PE for symbiostock users? Wont our images be searchable on the PE site if we pay them or not?
sym gives you a way to connect, but you still need to pay to have your sym site included — however, those same images from micro agencies will already be there at lower prices, unless there has been a major change

I am sure that Steve and I can agree to differ rather than get into a disagreement 🙂 I like to give people the benefit of the doubt until proven one way or the other.
Is the Titanic the best metaphore though ? 😀
first, if I ever speak as a moderator, i’ll make that clear in the post. otherwise anything I post here is just my personal opinion
I wasn’t trying to be negative, but history is history and some people have already lot money by giving the benefit of the doubt; PE is making new claims now, and i’ll wait to see actual results. i’ll be among the first to promote them if they can do what they say. but they still haven’t addressed the problem of telling buyers they’ll get the cheapest image while telling sellers they’ll won’t be undercut by agencies offering their images
just WHAT is there to test? even if sym links PE doesn’t have anything that’s live and testable – they wanted people to pay, and the expiration of what you paid for expired many months ago with absolutely NOTHING produced by PE —
calimed they would host large (> 1 million ) sites for free, but they were charging ridiculous rates for smaller sites, and sym as a whole wouldn’t qualify they
PE has a lot of explaining and demonstration to do before anyone should take them seriously. they totally misrepresented themselves in MSG and i’d strongly urge everyone to hold on to their wallets
