Do you think some sites buy your images just to make you feel good. I have three sites that each have sold one image, and then stopped selling agin.
I can't imagine why they would do that
Perhaps they might buy an image if they wanted to use it themselves in an advert somewhere, but for most of them, they have a clause in their TOS that says they can use your images for advertising their site gratis.
With respect to Totally Photos - I submit there also - small gallery as I am being very selective about what I submit to them. Their standards seem to be higher than most places and they have picked up a few things in review that no other site has yet. However, they tell you what they'd like you to do (if it's fixable) and to reupload it. They also give you comments on the accepted photos which helps you to ascertain your level of skill. They have a multiple upload functions which works very nicely - and if your images are high quality and almost always accepted they will increase your upload quota. So far, I like most things about. I hope that it will take off and grow, though I haven't had any sales yet either.
