Example: us vs. them:

I don’t like the idea of random posts from here being tweeted. That means any questions, complaints, petty arguments, glitches, bugs, etc. are potentially being sent out into the stratosphere for followers to see.

Twitter and Facebook should be used as advertising mediums to help promote the network and the sites. They should be controlled by someone (s) who is/are purposefully placing Symbiostock in a good light, posting great images, special deals, milestones, exciting news, etc.

I’ll be posting here much less now that I know anything I write can be tweeted.

[shelma1Participant]

I know…I’ve also pointed out that already successful site owners who started the network have probably all linked to each other, sending each other traffic…while those of us who are new must work harder to generate traffic to our sites.

[shelma1Participant]

I’m guessing it’s telling you your images have been added to the network? Probably you get the email the day after you add images. I get the email almost every day because I add images almost every day.

I never get emails about anyone updating their theme.

[shelma1Participant]

Why not get in touch with the owners of the sites you like directly? It’s always possible they’ll find your site a better match than what they have now and will bump another site to add yours.

[shelma1Participant]

Thanks for the ideas!

[shelma1Participant]

For some reason I’ve have to log in to this board repeatedly today, and I keep losing the ability to upload to my site and then it comes back again.

[shelma1Participant]

Congrats! Nice-looking site…great images.

[shelma1Participant]

Thanks! I’ve scheduled it to appear Monday.

[shelma1Participant]

I agree. Several people (including me) have had sales that couldn’t be downloaded properly.

Congrats, all!

[shelma1Participant]

Welcome!

[shelma1Participant]

Welcome! Nice site, beautiful images. 🙂

I think people take different approaches to networking. I’ve added a few photographers who have different specialties and vector artists whose styles are different from mine and from each others’, so buyers see a wide variety. But I think some people add others whose work is similar to theirs.

In the meantime, to help promote your site and Symbiostock:

If you’d like, please like Symbiostock on Facebook:

Can someone give us some insight into the ping lists? I’ve never changed it, but that would bring organic traffic also right?

I’ve found several articles online about changing your ping list. Here’s one:

I copied and pasted the large ping list and just updated my site. In your WordPress panel, go to settings>writing and scroll down to update services, then copy and paste in this list:
