Finally! Someone got one of these Adsense/referral link sites right! :-) It's great that it's our choice to opt in, and the photos that we decide to showcase use our own referral numbers instead of the website's developer (like those being generated by Fotolia's users).
That's is very smart, obviously the owner of this website hopes that many potential buyers will open a buyer account using his referral link so that he can make some nice easy money
The great thing is that he's also giving all of us the opportunity for referrals. Every photo that I added to my little gallery has my own referral link, so if a potential buyer likes my work, then I reap the rewards of their affiliation...not the developer. That's how it should be. It's a win-win for us and for the guy who took the time to develop a great little site (he gets his own referrals plus any Adsense revenue).
Neat - it was easy to set up. I cannot figure out how to rate images though. Clicking on the image brings you to the Dreamstime site. I am probably missing something simple.
