Did you get any views on your (only english keywords) photos in the stockagency?

Yes I did, I'm not a member of the community, only the stock agency. I also got another sale last week. Very happy so far.

Heres my referral link to PantherMedia

Thanks, I have been really encouraged by the sales so far, as they are both "midstock", hope you do well.

As a side note the reviewers are probably more selective on content than a lot of micro sites, I'm having more than expected refused.

Same here - they are pretty strict. Id compare them to Crestock in their rejections. Im glad I uploaded a bunch before I lost the ftp privlege, because I just went down to 39% rejections, after my first batch of 40 or so images went through.

Now I guess I can only upload two a day...yeah, hell will freeze over before you catch me doing that. I'll submit the rest sitting in my ftp folder at my leisure now. We'll see if this one pans out - so far I barely have any views on my images whatsoever.

I've done some research with german keywords to see if my photos (with english keywords) turned up and only one percent did. I wrote to Robert of Panthermedia who is really helpful and quick in responding and he would try to find out what was the problem. He mailed me yesterday and said that they would solve the problem this week. Some of my photos has since then turned up but still not all of them. I guess I'll see next week if things really turned out for the best. (hardly any views yet on my stockagency photos though).

Panthermedia is a waste of time. Their system will never let you have hundreds of photos online in a reasonable amount of time and their keywords will never work well, as in any non English native system.

It is not really that difficult to understand.

It's like Fotolia.

In a few months time you will all (those whom are not paid to lie) come back to me saying I was right. Actually you will not say that, although I will know anyway.

All the sites can be classified as a waste of time, if you do not learn the format and subject of the site. I can understand that PantherMedia has opened it's doors to the English speaking world, which in many respects is a brand new site. Are they trying not to be over run by the hoards of "microstockers", I don't know.

The facts are that I try all the new sites and make up my own mind, the facts so far, that in a month I have earned more money on PantherMedia than a lot of the micro sites I'm on. Also in this financial climate I like the fact that we are being paid in Euro's.

I'm not a paid liar for anyone.......just trying to make a living from stock photography.

Would you ever say you were wrong? I like to give sites at least a year. Many times I have been told a site isn't worth it but have found out there is money to be made for just a little work. I don't think you have been uploading to microtsock sites long enough to give good advice to others.

Dare I bother to answer. ftp uploads, which means easy uploads in a reasonable amount of time. I don't know about the keywords system, but it appears that you have some insider information on why that doesn't work?

Paid to lie? You know how to find a conspiracy under every rock and behind every bush, don't you?

People here have been very open about criticizing sites when they don't pay or don't work. I don't know why you would insult everyone here and claim we would not be honest.

Would those who are "paid to lie" please step forward and tell me how I can get into the secret program. I could make more money posting lying messages than I can selling photos.

For that matter has anyone except e-person every heard or seen any hard facts that anyone has ever been paid to post lying messages by ANY micropayment photo site?
