Is there anyone here who uploads the same shots to both A.net and JP? Is there any benefit to doing this? I abandoned JP a while ago in favor of A.net, but I realized all my photo sales (the few that I've had) came from JP.
Any thoughts on uploading the same images to both sites?
When I bother to upload, I will upload the same photos to both. Of course, since I'm limited to some ridiculously small number of slots on A.net, it takes longer to get them all rejected there. A.net pissed me off more frequently, so I'd go for months at a time uploading only to JP. I think the last stuff I uploaded to either was from the Jones Beach Air Show. A.net generates more hits, but I haven't really sold anything from either. A.net does generate many more requests for free photos, however...
That all depends on what you think that "advantages" are to having your photos on either site. What is your goal for uploading?
I sort of a "noob" on this, but I notice a trend that people tend to upload JP but then they start moving over to anet and saw on. I been wanting an explanation on why someone who rejects more...you give more of your time too?
A.net gets you more exposure than JP, if that's what you're into. The top photos of the day on JP will top out at around 4-5k views, while on A.net, you could get 10k, 15k, 20k, or even more in one day. I stopped uploading to JP when the queue times got ludicrous. Looks like they have it back under control now.Quote:

I heard that its easier to get photos on To Jet photos,But airliners is More..Well known then jet photos i think But its really up to you I just dont get why Airliners take a week or two to reject a photo..Thats the only thing that annoys me.
Just trying to get my photos noticed. It would be great to sell more, but I'm more interested in establishing myself right now.Quote:

I do. I put in the reason box "It was accepted at a.nother site."Quote:

Does that get them accepted, or get you a ban from uploading for a few weeks... ;-)Quote:

I say if you do upload to both the same shot, which is perfectly OK, treat them as ships in the night... don;t mix the two screenings at all :-) You'd be surprised what one accepts and the other rejects and vice versa!
I've yet to have an issue.Quote:

I don't really upload to either anymore (flickr & airplane-pictures.net for me), but when I did have the situation you've described appealing to jp.net saying a.net accepted it usually won the day. With a.net it seemed to follow with 5 additional senseless rejections.
I actually emailed the screener back because I was a little pissed at his attitude. I got a sassy reply back, which I'll have to post.Quote:

Screener: "Histogram CLEARLY shows the underexposure. Couldn\'t care less what airliners do ! It means nothing here, they don\'t always get it right."
Me: "OK--no need to be so arrogant about it. If the site is going to be like that, I'll have to consider not uploading to JP anymore."
Screener: "You call me arrogant yet on every one of your appeals, I think there were 5 you rubbed our noses in the fact that airliners had accepted your pictures despite our rejections being very clearly proven.
If airliners are so wonderful then you are welcome to stay with them. If you don't want to upload here on the largest aviation database in the world then that is of course your prerogative. This appeal was one of the last ones that I dealt with and I had simply become fed up with constantly having airliners rammed down my throat as if an acceptance there means that we are duty bound to accept here.
It doesn't work like that.
Merry Christmas.

Senior screener."
I haven't been banned, but I'll have to keep an eye out to see if they're going after me publicly!Quote:

Put your shots on Flickr, and make sure you KEYWORD them. They will show up better on search engines if you do.
Bingo. At some point I decided that my photos should reflect my style of shooting, not theirs. It was a great help to learn how to edit. But once that had been established...all flickr :-)Quote:

Thanks for the nice words about my photos, John. Your shots are always beautiful, and I appreciate your encouragement.Quote:

Got another unsolicited sassy email from a different JP screener today:
Quote:
Dear Mr Dolan,
I am sorry that our screening process is not matching the one of airliners.net. It seems that you are more satisfied with the service of airliners.net. To avoid future trouble I would recommend limiting your up-loads to airliners.net and stop up-loading tojetphotos.net. This would save valuable time for all involved parties.
I wish you and your family all the best this holiday season, with hopes for a healthy and prosperous 2013!
Best regards

I use Flickr for the majority of my photos,but I like uploading to Jetphotos and Airliners. i just don't get too worked up if either one rejects them. I had one that Jetphotos accepted,but Airliners rejected it because the Flag was blocking a portion of the wing.

Chris, I would upload a couple to JP.net just to see how they react.
Exactly what I was trying to tell you... DO NOT mix the two. If someone else gets away with it, great. I would just treat them independently when it comes to screening and their respective criteria ..Quote:

Don;t get me wrong, I appeal and argue my points with each of them but never do I claim they need to accept them because the other site did already... that I think would make anyone a bit uncomfortable. Imagine you're a cop on the beat. You stop a guy for not wearing his seat-belt. You are about to tag him and he says, come on, your partner a few miles away let me go, you should do the same :P
