Photrade continues to make improvements to it’s site, not only making the site more usable, but more fun and informative as well.

• They have updated some of the major pages,
  • Photrade :: About us, now contains a really comprehensive overview of the site along with a nice graphic to go along with how users can utilize the site and maximize their exposure.
  • Photrade :: FAQ, A much more comprehensive FAQ, nearly 3-4 times larger than the original.
  • Photrade :: Learn at HyperPhocal, A great new extension (website) to the site offering tips, tools, terms, and various subjects about photography.

• One of the “fun” (and useful) additions was the listing of popular galleries and photos on the site.
  • At the top of the navigation bar select “Browse” and then “All photos” and it pulls up a list of pictures (with thumbnails): “popular photos”, “recent photos”, “popular user galleries”, and a listing of some of the main photos categories.

Since I have been using the site for so long and was so excited about it when I joined, I have found myself as having many of the popular photos (Don’t worry I’m sure once more photographers join, my numbers will shrink)

Also, the top 3/4 of the most popular galleries are also mine

Here is a screen shot…since I figured some of you might doubt me! Photos 2, 4-9 are mine.

Photrade

Share. Protect. Get Paid.
the most ways to protect and make money from your photos

From Photrade:

Photrade is where photographers reclaim ownership of their photos.

Photraders decide how, when, where and at what cost their photos are used online. We provide unprecedented protection for photos and offer a free photo marketplace where photographers can sell stock, prints and merchandise or use our Adcosystem where photographers get paid for every view of their photo, anywhere on the internet.

Through Photrade, publications and blogs can access a fast-growing library of legally licensed, ad-supported photos.

Reclaim your photos, start photrading.

My 2¢:

• Photrade is fast becoming an excellent tool for photographers, both amateurs and pro’s alike.

• Upload your work and:
  • PROTECT IT ~ now with custom watermarking (very cool)
  • TAG IT ~ help others find it; there’s also a field to add a caption as well as a spot for others to leave comments.
  • SHARE IT ~ handy links provided for blogs
• Monetize your work by:
  • Others viewing/clicking on the ‘in picture ads’ and/or the ‘in gallery ads’
  • Sell prints & merchandise ~ Choose from a VAST assortment of print sizes and gifts
  • Sell Digital Rights to your photos (stock)
