2 sales for $127.77 each just popped in! John.

As spacecadet says, batch tagging has it's place. I usually batch tag groups of images of the same subject once they have passed QC, just to get them on sale, but usually only generic terms, then go through them later fine tuning my keywords and captions. John.

Exactly! It's better to get a correct system from the start than to have to go back and amend them later.

As has been mentioned, don't try and religiously get to 50 tags. Your captions definitely need some work if your images are to be found. Take image 2WPERMF of a statue of a woman. You haven't got 'statue', 'sculpture' or 'woman' or her name as tags - but you do have 'accommodation', 'boats', 'bird', 'fishing', fishing boats', 'funfair', 'groynes', 'national cycle route 111', 'pubs', 'restaurant', 'rnli' ,'rnli visitor centre', 'sand', 'sands', sandy beaches', none of which are in that image! You also have 'north pier' and 'south pier' - but it can't be both. Adding irrelevant tags will hurt your ranking as someone looking for a fun fair doesn't want to see a close up picture of a woman's statue! Don't take the criticism personally, we are only trying to help you gain more sales! From a fellow Staffordshire resident. Edit: a bit of googling has found; 'Gansey Girl' is a bronze sculpture by Stephen Carvill which can be found on Bridlington Harbour's north pier. That should be your caption, plus possibly Yorkshire, England, UK. plus all those words should be in your tags and those in bold should be super tags. John.

Distinctly average! 13 sales for $244. Lowest; $1.59: Highest; $63.19 (although a distributor sale). Views and zooms average as well. John.

16 sales for $206 - a bit low on income. Lowest: $0.36 (x2); Highest $36.78. Views and zooms low, although views seemed to be catching up until measures was broken again. John.

If I remember correctly the cleared payment threshold was $100 when I joined in 2007. John.
