I tried Albumo too. I started with 5 images which got approved in about 2 weeks (that's a long approval time) but shortly after my small portfolio was online I received 50c after selling a picture. I decided to upload more to see what happens. You never know...
you should try reading the community page on albumo, lots of people complain about albumo not paying out to photographers who make sells. Lots of people complaining that albumo don't even respond to e-mails, photo approval is slow (i uploaded my photos since november '08 and still waiting, today is 6 jan '09). And those who complain in their forums albumo actually delete the comment, I remember 1 time was reading some complains about albumo, the following day it was gone. So anyone out looking for a stock site, I strongly recommend you stay away from Albumo; SERIOUSLY!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!
To be fair I think anyone still uploading to it after reading the review should carefully considder if they have better things to do with their time. I have not heard of problems with albumo payments and forums are often full of snipe comments. But your comments are duly noted, and how did these people manage to get to the payout limit anyway? lol
I have over 2000 pictures on Albumo more then one year.Sales are funny I had 9 downloads....They are not answering on mails, and they are deleting negative comments(at least two of mine).Also some members had problem to delete portfolio... I had one payment because of bonus for uploading(first 100 members with 1000 and more pictures has some extra bonus), but in present I have some amount without chance to reach payment limit.I stopped uploading in December but I am worry for my online pictures, and I am thinking to delete my portfolio. Zoran VERY BAD SITE!!!!!!!
I think Albumo site even isn't working lately. Anyhow, even when working it was impossible to delete any uploaded images or model release while useless trying to contact them by email. It's true the forum also was blocked to avoid others criticism and demands probably! Luckily, I sent only few images and just while the site was in trouble so they remained in the uploaded section waiting for approval. Was it a cheat?? Where have the photographers images got to now? Who knows!It's strange U.S. court doens't intervened on photographers behalf blocking site and informing people about the eventual bankruptcy.
