It will depend on your country/currency – take a look at bluehost.com – and justhost.com but do your own backup’s do not rely on theirs

Other people’s sites – I sell primarily to youth sports and schools, I don’t have any of those types of images.

I just had a look, you have to put the exact keywords in that you do not wish to appear in searches on your site so for drugs you would need drug, drugs , tablet, tablets, medicine, pills etc. This would mean that many non drug images would not show up either such as tablet computer

Great questions. May I also ask a question?

I have added symbiostock.info and stock.imagerion.com to my network and now I see 70 Local Sites on the Marketing tab.
How do I know if someone has added my site to his/her network?

Check out Cascoly’ site at symbiostock-search.com. he mentioned elsewhere that not everything was working so you might need to check back there in a few days. It has its own board in this forum

Ok, no this doesn’t work that way. I excluded the word “drugs”. When I search “drugs” no images are shown, however if I search the word “pills” I get images with “drugs” in the keywords. I’m not sure how to edit out the adult images. Here is an example: if I sell football clipart I need “football” as a keyword but I really don’t want scantily dressed football cheerleaders showing up.

Any suggestions?

Were they results from everyone’ sites or just yours?

Try it and see, try something obvious, do a search for blue and see what comes up. Then add blue to your excluded words , save and then do a search for sky.
I have not tried this as it had not occured to me before but is the sort of illogical method I use for trying things out. I cannot try this out at the moment but would be interested to hear your results

EDIT::see post 14

If you, or anyone else, would like to save some time and base it on the one I have done it can be downloaded at
http://kerioak.com/TP/sy-watermark.psd , most layers can be deleted, it has coloured and black and white layers just to test how it looks on each of them

Hi all, I joined the network because it works along with my long term goal of removing my images from all the sub sites while still earning reasonable income. I like the networking aspect and the platform works great and is easy to use. I thought I understood the concept of the networking but now I realize I’m not sure I do. Maybe someone can help clear things up.

Please let me know if this is correct:

My answers are as I understand it

1) My images only show up on another site if that person has added me to his/her network partners.
No
and yes.
Your images show up on another site if that person has added you as a network partner
Your images show up on another site if someone networked to you, or networked to someone who is networked to you searches for one of your promoted keywords
Your images show up if anyone has added ajt’s global search (and many of us have)

2) If I add a network partner my customers can see there images on my site but not my images on their site.
Correct – unless they are linked back to you (or linked to someone who is linked to you for promoted keywords or global search)

3) Symbiostock.info will show my images on every site that has added it to their network – if the keyword is appropriate.
see above

4) My network partners only show on my site if they have an appropriate keyword.
see above

5) My promoted keywords will show results on every symbio site (this one is particularly confusing)
see above

Now a couple of questions:

1) What is the SEO benefit to my site to add network partners?
would you network with someone who refuses to network with anyone else – the mutual linking is what builds the network

2) Should I be networking to create my own network so to speak?
closed networks were one of the things originally envisaged and will probably occur at some point

3) If no-one adds me to their network does my site still benefit from being part of the community?
unlikely – it works both ways

Thanks everyone.

I have also used it by incorporating it into my watermark

I would probably do them in the order you have them listed

You could always add “nude” to the Keyword Filtering on your Symbiostock (bee) Network page

Thats funny you should say that. I have to push myself to keep up with twitter. I find them more annoying than addictive Yesterday I was looking for a way to have two twitterers on one account some someone could have fun tweeting Symbiostock in place of me.

That one is easy – just give them your log-in details. I have a twitter account for another web-business I run with a friend, she does all the twittering as I don’t like it but I can access it if I want to.

What is the default for sending tweets via Symbiostock – I tried to put in a small message about possible use and what image is for but get #SYMBIOSTOCK #IMAGE# ANIMAL#DOG twitlink instead Would #Symbiostock #Stock Image … our choice of words look neater or is that too complicated or am I using it wrongly ?

I have joined some web design forums and have threads there, also just started on LinkedIn – not very easy place to navigate but have done one discussion/promotion there so far linking to symbiostock.com/org/info depending on submitter or customer. I need more connections I think to make it work and it is not all that easy to connect without a paid service as you cannot contact people direct, if anyone has any tips on that I would appreciate them.

I really like the lighting on the Cinderella one, how did you do the pea – did you really have a tall pile of bedding or was there any creative editing involved?

Your watermark seems a little heavy – it is too big to read and therefore have your images traceable back to your site ?

I have finally given in and got twitter (and LinkedIn) accounts. Must remember to not visit often as they can be great time wasters 😀
