We have a number of young photographers on the site who have flourished from the resources at BetterPhoto. We also have established a special area of the site specifically for kids and teens:

http://www.betterphoto.com/photography-for-kids.asp

We have "safer than the law" standards. BetterPhoto is a family-friendly Web site and, for this kids area, we go beyond our usual high standards for protection:

There is no chat room. We do not allow email addresses or any other private information to be shared. If a young person ever decides to take a course at BetterPhoto, we need the parent's permission first.

With a Free BetterPholio™, there is a link for people to contact the BetterPholio™ owner, as well as the ability for members to comment on images uploaded to the site. These comments can be very encouraging and help our online photography community thrive. We recommend that you stay involved with your child to be sure you are comfortable with any contact she may have, as we have no way to control independent email correspondence.

Uploading or marking photos as private keeps them from being viewed anywhere except a course or Deluxe Betterpholio site. To remedy this, go into your Deluxe admin center, click on "Select and Categorize Photos", and change the status for the photos you want to display in your Basic Gallery.

This may be happening because you have uploaded the image multiple times and the winning version of your image is not the one selected for display. All you need to do is to:

* First identify the winning photoID # - this is the number you see in the URL when looking at the enlarged view of an image.

Use this number to locate the correct photo in your Member Center. Just click on Edit Your Photos link, and set this image to display and the other image to not display.

You can upload new images anytime to your member center so that you have new images to put into the contest, they just need photo ID#s for the automated system to recognize them, you do not need a paid BetterPholio to display them. You can, however, display them in your free gallery that comes with being a member of BetterPhoto.

You can upload new images anytime, here are step-by-step instructions for uploading:

Sign in to your Member Center.
Click on the Upload New Photos link.
You will now be at a page titled Prepare to Upload.
Next, you will have two options:

Default option:

Select the camera you used.
Agree to Terms and Conditions and click on Submit.
You will now be at the Bulk Image Uploader page (Note: if this is your first upload with the Bulk Image Uploader, you will be asked to install Aurigma. Proceed with the prompts to install Aurigma).
Your page will now display your files on your computer.
Select the file where your images are stored, they should then appear in the upper right hand box (to the right of your computer files).
Simply drag and drop your images into the lower right hand box, there is no need to have resized your images.
You will see that you have the option to rotate your images. Click the Title/Description link to name photos. Separate Title and Description by "@@" to add both during upload.
Finally, hit the send button.
Check the Mac requirements at the bottom of the main uploading page. If you are having trouble with the Bulk Uploader, we suggest you use the Single Image Uploader.

Single Image Uploader option:
Click on the link at the bottom of the main uploading page (i.e., the first page that appears when clicking on Upload New Photos).
Select the # of photos you are uploading and click on submit.
You will then be at the image upload page.
Click on Browse.
Your computer files will appear ... select the appropriate file where your images are stored.
Double click on the image you want to upload.
Fill in title and description info.
Select a camera.
Click on Submit.
After uploading your new images, all you have to do is type in the photo ID# and your daily entry will be put into the Summit contest.

Due to limited seating, we are unable to hold spots for the Summit. We hope you can join us!

Yes! The BetterPhoto Photography Conference is for photographers of ALL skill levels. There's something for everyone - from the complete beginner to the professional. Plus, the Summit is an incredible opportunity to meet BetterPhoto instructors and be with other people that share your enthusiasm for photography.

Yes, the grand prize will be awarded as a reimbursement for your expenses, as outlined in the Summit Photography Rules. All awards will be presented in Monterey.

Good Luck!

The Summit will take place at the Casa Munras, however, there will be a lunch break where you are free to go shooting and grab a bite to eat in Monterey. Also, the Day 2 Shoot is a separate event on Sunday in various locations on the Monterey Peninsula. Reserve your spot today here:
http://www.betterphoto.com/cart/cartContentsDisplay.asp

The Casa Munras does not offer a shuttle service from Mineta San Jose International Airport. We encourage you to carpool if possible and offer this information for your planning:

Mineta San Jose International Airport map and directions:
http://www.sjc.org/travelers/maps.html

Shuttle Services:
Arrow 831-646-3175
Main Event 831-646-5466

We have a very limited number of rooms available at Casa Munras at the BetterPhoto group rate. Just tell them you are with BetterPhoto, no special code needed. Rooms are going fast so we encourage you to book as soon as possible:
http://www.hotelcasamunras.com/

There are plenty of great hotels and motels close by. Click here for Monterey Visitor Information:

Live Critiques are a chance for you to get a feel for what we offer in our PhotoCourses and ProCritiques. The instructors view and critique a couple of images from your BetterPholio - a highlight last year! More information will be sent by email to Summit Attendees about how this will work. We also ask for volunteers for group critiques in the main session.

You are not required to bring any specific equipment to the Summit, as there are no presentations in workshop format. Most of our attendees, do however, bring their cameras so they can go out shooting. (Day 2 Shoot Attendees see Jim's Packing List). Other attendees bring laptops to take notes during the conference, however due to limited seating, we cannot guarantee tabletop space. We do not provide transcripts and not all instructors provide hand outs.

The Summit is a one day event, Saturday, Oct 25th with our BetterPhoto Instructors presenting throughout the day. The session will have morning and afternoon breaks, with a casual flow.

Most of the event will be geared to an overall audience, so you don't have to worry about choosing one speaker over another. Presentations will cover: Nature * Exposure * Photoshop * Composition * Landscape Photography * Lighting * Making Money * Photographing Children.

We will take a break at lunch to give attendees a nice opportunity to mingle and relax, or go out shooting. This inspiring weekend gives you a chance to learn from the pros, then speak with them one on one and even have them give you live critiques of your photography if you wish.

Day 2 "Best of Monterey Peninsula" Photography Shoot is a separate event with limited seating.

Jim's Suggestions: Photographing In and Around Monterey:

What to Bring

· Your camera with normal (or "street"), wide-angle, and telephoto zoom lenses.

· A sturdy tripod (a ball head will allow you to shoot with greater flexibility, if you have one).

· An accessory (external mount) flash unit, and a way to diffuse or soften its light. (I use a Lumiquest bouncer.)

· Film / memory: Have enough film or memory on hand to be able to shoot in the consecutive mode (or motor drive) without fear of running out. Be prepared to shoot a lot. I bring enough memory cards for at least 300-400 images a day.

· A laptop or portable storage device. (I use an Epson P-4000.)

· Back-up camera, lens, batteries, spare batteries, rechargers, cables - whatever you might need in a pinch.

· Filters. I recommend a square filter system ( i.e. Cokin or Singh-Ray) with a polarizer and a graduated neutral density filter.

· Hat, jacket, good shoes, layers, and rain gear (for both you and your camera).

· Money for souvenirs, water, snacks, meals, incidentals.

YES! Sign up today to reserve your spot in the Day 2 "Best of Monterey Peninsula" Photography Shoot on Sunday, October 26th. More information here:
http://www.betterphoto.com/cart/cartContentsDisplay.asp

This from BetterPhoto will use these funds to purchase new or used equipment for our Big Brothers & Big Sisters initiative. As an example, if equipment is valued at $350.00,Hunts would add a $35.00 credit to the Betterphoto.comaccount.

We want everyone to have an opportunity to experience the energy of meeting face-to-face with people who share the love of photography. Since our members live all over the world, many people were unable to travel to the Summit. Therefore, instead of hosting one localized conference this year, we are focusing on helping the BetterPhoto community meet up in other ways. This is still in the early stages of development, do stay tuned for some exciting announcements!

Through BP Clubs, Favorites and BPMail, members are connecting like never before. These fabulous new features are bringing our global community together online and in their home communities.

You can update your bio in your Member Center> Member Info Tab>Bio / About Yourself

Once you have made your changes, click on the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

NOTE: Deluxe BetterPholio owners please contact betterpholio.support@betterphoto.com

First, make sure that you are typing it in correctly and that you don't have the Caps Lock key activated on your keyboard. If you are still unable to sign in, you may contact bpsupport@betterphoto.com.

This is due to a browser caching issue.

Try holding down the shift key and click on the refresh button. Your new mini-pic should appear.

This sometimes happens when members create a new account instead of changing their email address in their member center. This duplication causes a system error. Please contact bpsupport@betterphoto.com and we will consolidate your accounts.

In future, you can update your Name & Contact Information as well as change your email address in your Member Center:

Member Center>My Member Info>Contact Info

Spam is annoying. Spammers or spamming software may be trying to email you via your contact page from your Free, Premium, or Deluxe BetterPholio™. In an attempt to keep this problem to a minimum, we have installed an authentication step with all contact forms. Keep in mind that the spammers do not view your email address when they use the contact link, and BetterPhoto does not ever share email addresses of our members.

We have also created the following informational page to help our members spot spam and scams, and know how to handle these problems:

http://www.betterphoto.com/spam-scam.asp

The password is case-sensitive. Be sure that the letters are exactly as you see them in the instructional email.

Thank you for your email regarding the BetterPhoto Cash Contest. As of July 1st, 2008, two changes have been made at BetterPhoto regarding our photography contests:

Click here for more information on showcasing your photography in a Basic or Deluxe BetterPholio:

http://www.betterphoto.com/sites4Photogs.asp

All visitors will still enjoy the benefits of viewing and discussing all photos entered into the contest.

Enjoy viewing winning images from previous cash contests by clicking the winners tab on the contest drop down menu on our main page. Here's a quick link - scroll to the bottom of the page:
http://www.betterphoto.com/contest/winners.asp

Our hope is that these changes will keep the contest the best, most fair, and most objective contest on the Web.

June contest will be awarded later this month. Winners for the May contest have been notified by email. View these inspiring images by clicking the Winners Tab on the drop down menu of the Contest Tab - be sure to scroll to the bottom for Cash Contest.

Here is a direct link to the May Cash Contest winners:
http://www.betterphoto.com/contest/cashContestWinners.asp?mnth=0805

When you enter an image in the contest, the image is placed in order of photo ID#. Therefore, photos that were originally uploaded at an earlier date are placed further back in the contest pages. You may have to look several pages back to find your photo(s) in the gallery of contest entries. You can quickly double check your entry by signing in to your Member Center and clicking on the "Better Photos" tab. Click on the link to "Current Contest Entries" [or "Cash Contest Entries"]. If you still don't see your entry, be sure to refresh the page to view the entries you have in the monthly contest.

Also if you own a Pro or Deluxe BetterPholio, make sure that your contest images are set to a "Public" viewing status rather than "Private". This is managed in the Photo Manager section of your Deluxe Update Center

Our easy-to-operate BetterPholio™ packages are designed to be maintainable for any user! Even a complete non-tech can customize a BetterPholio. You have full control over your site: choose your favorite layout/color combination from 24 possibilities, and switch between them as often as you like; add or delete images and categories; update your homepage; add links to other sites, and much more! These functions are easily accessed and manipulated from your BetterPholio Admin Center.

Basic BetterPholios™, Deluxe BetterPholios™, and Pro BetterPholios™ may be cancelled within 14 days of the date of your order. Deluxe and Pro BetterPholio orders will be charged a non-refundable $35 cancellation fee. No refunds or partial refunds will be given after 14 days.

The new, sleeker, more versatile designs that you see on the informational pages are currently the only designs available. Some of our BetterPholio™ owners have not yet converted to these new design options - thus the variety of older layouts in existence.

If you want two completely separate sites, you'll first need to sign up for a separate Betterphoto account. Your first and last name can be the same, but you do have to have a separate email address for the new account. In case you don't have a separate email account, there are numerous sites that allow you to sign up for a free email account like hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc.

Once you have the new account, sign in with the new account information and go through the order process for the new site the same way as you did for your old one.

If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thank you so much!

You will have a certain amount of control over the pages on your BetterPholio™ via a password protected Admin Center. For example, you will be able to add and edit all the text on your site, create custom categories and categorize photos, choose from six designs and four different background colors, etc. You have "wildcard" pages where you can add anything you like. HTML is supported wherever you can edit text. We try to allow as much flexibility as we can, but do understand that it is a templated web site solution, so you will not be able to edit the source code of your site and may run into something that you wish could be different but cannot change. The best idea, if you haven't already, is to browse through the current BetterPholios to get an idea of the various options to see if it would meet your needs.

Each of the new design comes in four different color schemes: black, dark gray, light gray and white. You can choose which color you like the best and even change it as often as you like right from your Admin Center. This is where you will be able to change between our 24 color/layout combinations as often as you like.

We have great options for image sales in our Web Hosting packages. Here is a link to where you can learn more about these exciting features:

http://www.betterphoto.com/sites4photogs.asp

Hi xxx:

Very good question. You could sell it in this way: take a picture of your product and upload as you would an image. You could then create a Product Category specifically for your book and display it in it's own gallery on your site. People would be able to buy it just like they would your images - using PayPal.

Each of our BetterPholio packages will allow you to use your existing domain name. Be aware, however, that you would be responsible for renewing it each year.

If you would like to purchase a BetterPholio™ and want us to register a domain name for you, we can, although we only support the following top level domains: .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, and .ca. If you want a domain name that does not use one of these you still have the option of using it, although you will have to purchase the domain name on your own.

Our BetterPholios™ are a fantastic way to display and sell your images and enhance your business. Like you, many people have questions about licensing and taxes when they are ready to turn their hobby into a business. There are state and federal guidelines for business practices, all available for reference online. Our best recommendation is that you contact your State Department of Revenue and the IRS to be clear on all laws and requirments.

It might also be helpful to read our BetterPhoto Questions & Answers where there is a wealth of information and advice from photographers and business owners.

We register the domain name for you, but you can transfer the domain name into your name at any time. You would need to purchase a transfer from a company that sells domain names. One thing to be aware of is that you would be responsible for domain renewal fees apart from your BetterPholio™ subscription as well as DNS management.

Our basic rule of thumb is the shorter the domain name, the easier it is to remember and to give out. However, having the name of your business as your URL is a good option too. Ideally, you want people to remember your name. In the end, it's up to you and what you feel is appropriate for your needs.

Start at BetterPhoto's homepage, click on the "Get a Web Site" button, then select the "Domain Names" option. You will see samples and a box where you can enter any domain name you can think of to check it's availability.

With our add on image sales option or our Pro BetterPholio™, your customers will be able to buy photos directly from your site. All you need is to set up a Basic account with Paypal. When they make a purchase you will be emailed the image title and size they want. Then you would need to fulfill those orders using an outside lab, your own printer, etc. To read more about our Pro BetterPholios or image sales option, click here:

http://www.betterphoto.com/sites4photogs.asp

Once you pick a domain name and make payment arrangements, it usually takes 24 - 48 hours for your site to be built. Most of that time is waiting for your domain name to be registered. As soon as it is, you will receive several emails taking you through the set up process step by step.

You then have 24/7 access to your site. Our BetterPholio™ Specialist is available as well should you have any questions. The process really is quite simple. The trick is to read EVERYTHING carefully and to take your time setting things up.

You can check out our designs on this page:

http://www.betterphoto.com/sites4photogs/deluxe-photographer-websites.asp


We have six different layouts from which to choose and each layout comes in many different color schemes. You can choose which colors you like best and even change them as often as you like right from your Admin Center. You will have a "Site Design" and an "Advanced Site Design" link in your Admin Center where you will be able to change between our color/layout combinations as often as you like.

Thank you for your interest in our BetterPholio packages. We have two different packages from which to choose. Here are links that explain each fully:
http://www.betterphoto.com/sites4photogs/deluxeWebsites.asp
http://www.betterphoto.com/sites4photogs/deluxeProWebsites.asp

The additional features for the Pro package are as follows:

Credit card processing for image sales,
Real-time statistics,
Password protected private galleries,
The ability to display up to 3000 images,
A mailing list feature so you can send bulk emails out to your fans and clients,
Two additional wildcard pages,
Enhanced slide shows,
Extra email aliases, etc.

I hope this helps!

Your Pro BetterPholio™ came with the statistics add on feature which gives you a much more in-depth look at how many visitors come to your site, how may pages are viewed, how much time they spent at your site, top visitor paths, which pages they entered on and exited on, etc. When you sign into your Google Stats page, you get a quick summary of your visitors. The "Visitors" section shows you currently how many people have visited your site, by the hour, day, month and year. It shows you on average how many people visit your site in the same increments. And lastly, what was the most and least visitors you had in any one hour, day, month, year. "Page & Files" simply shows how many pages are being viewed overall by your visitors.

If you want to use your own domain name, you need to be able to change your DNS settings so that it points to our server. You may need to get hold of a technical contact where your name is currently registered to have this done.

If you choose this route, understand that:

a) You will be responsible for all technical support revolving around your domain name registration

b) You will be responsible for all domain name registration and renewal fees.

If you are unable to change your DNS settings, then you will want to select a new domain name that we will set up for you.

We've tried to transfer names to BetterPhoto in the past and it just hasn't worked very smoothly. The registration companies often want the actual owners of the domain name, rather than someone from BetterPhoto, to do the work.

We provide JavaScript image protection. This protection disables the user's ability to click their right mouse button (as when they are trying to get to the "Save this Image" command).
However, the nature of the Web makes it practically impossible to truly stop a determined thief. You see, you are publishing the photos by putting them on a Web site. Once they are out there, there is not much you can to do make them unavailable (both to the good people and the bad thieves).

You do have a few options, though. One is the aforementioned JavaScript protection. This deters "casual image thieves" - innocent people who just don't know any better. To stop the die-hard evil thieves in their tracks, you can:

a) Keep your images relatively small. Web display requires much less resolution than print. Therefore, if you keep your images small, the thief at least can't print your images or try to sell them for print production (where most of the money-making occurs in the photography world).

b) Watermark your images. You can add a watermark to your images during the upload process to your BetterPholio. Or you can use Photoshop or another program to put your name and a copyright symbol on your picture.

c) Use special software that digitally marks your images, making them unviewable by anyone without the same special software. But I don't recommend this method if you are interested in sharing or selling your photographs. By using it, you are forcing potential clients and other viewers to install special software. They will rarely do this and, thus, you will immediately lose your audience as well as your potential customers.

The other thing you can do is register each of your images with the US Copyright office. This will at least give you a legal leg to stand on, if you ever have to take an image thief to court.

The truth of the matter is that the benefits of publishing and promoting your work on the Web far outweigh these potential risks.

You will have many options to control the look and feel of your website whether you choose the Deluxe or Pro package, but it won't be as flexible if you were to create your own site from scratch. The big advantage of our BetterPholios™ is convenience. Within a day or two you will have a fully functional site online with your photos up for sale. Whereas developing your own site takes a much larger time commitment, not to mention the additional hosting costs.

As far as adding the PayPal shopping cart without purchasing the image sales add on product, you are welcome to add HTML code wherever you are able to edit text, so you are free to add the shopping cart in this way.

However, our PayPal shopping cart product offers pricing administrative tools and additional pricing pages for each of your images. It allows you to easily and quickly price hundreds of your images and display different photo product categories (i.e., 8x10, 5x7, etc.) for each image. This will not be available to you without the Image Sales component.

Unforunately, you cannot. You will need to reupload the images that do not already have the watermark embedded in them.

Anywhere you can edit text you are free to add your own HTML. For example, wildcard pages, image titles, image descriptions, welcome text, gallery text, bio, etc. This, however, will not allow you to edit every attribute which is just the nature of a template web system. However, many BetterPholio™ owners do this to make their site more customized.

Many other BetterPholio owners have learned some basic HTML tags to spice up their pages. It can be a little intimidating to start, but it's fairly easy to learn a few basic tags.

There are a ton of beginner books on HTML and lessons on the web. A google search will probably give you more than you can handle.

Yes, you can add either the image sales option or the Pro option to your BetterPholio™ at any time. We charge you a prorated amount based on the months remaining on your existing BetterPholio subscription. You can place your upgrade order through the Image Sales tab or Pro Tab of your Admin Center.

Absoultely! You are able to add your own HTML anywhere you can edit text (i.e. wildcard page, bio page, etc.). This would allow you to add any link you wish.

Yes, we can change your domain name after following a couple of steps.
First be sure your chosen domain name is available by going to our homepage,
clicking on the Get a Web Site button and selecting the "Domain Name" option. You will see a box where you can enter any domain name you can think of to check it's availability. Once you find an available domain name that you like, use the following link to process a $27.00 registration fee:

http://www.betterphoto.com/product/ourProductDetail.asp?productID=1355

You would then need to email our BetterPholio™ Specialist at amy@betterphoto.com with your new domain name.

Due to the legal environment that we live in these days we have to be very careful about what music goes up on our sites. When you purchase music, this does not imply the right for you to rebroadcast that music in the public domain. We can add music that studio's and musicians sign off as being OK to add to your BetterPholio web site, but baring express written permission we can't add your music.

We are trying to add a few songs a week to our library and our developers are currently working on trying to find some more sound scape type music from indie musicians who give us permission to use their music that we can document.

Thanks for your email. We do send out 2 reminder emails in regards to your BetterPholio™ expiration date. Also, your expiration date is listed in your Member Center > Premium BetterPholio™ tab as well as in your BetterPholio Admin Center.
To renew your BetterPholio, use one of the following links:

To renew with our Deluxe package, use this link:
www.betterphoto.com/cart/cartItemAddSQL.asp?productID=1182

To renew with our Deluxe with Image Sales package, use this link:
www.betterphoto.com/cart/cartItemAddSQL.asp?productID=1184

To renew with our Pro package, use this link:
www.betterphoto.com/cart/cartItemAddSQL.asp?productID=1234

This will reinstate your original BetterPholio. Thanks!

The image sales option primarily allows people to sell their individual images. We have had people sell other things however. To sell something other than images, you would need to upload an image for each product you are offering. Your customers would be able to purchase your products just like they would images.

You are able to transfer your domain name back to yourself once you decide to close your site. There is no fee from us. However, you will have to pay for a transfer from another site. The cost is about $8. Your domain name will have to be active for a transfer to happen so the transfer needs to be done before the site expires.

You can actually just point your existing domain name to our servers and use it for your BetterPholio. You will have to change some settings (DNS) which we would provide for you once your order is processed. Keep in mind that you would have to continue renewing your domain name for your BetterPholio to continue working. Many people choose this route since they are more comfortable having the domain name registered in their own name in case they choose to move on to a different site later.

You want your keywords to be as specific as possible. Here are a couple of examples, based on BetterBicycling.com:

KEYWORDS:
pictures of bicyclists, bicycling photos, biking photography, photo tips for cyclists, bicycling images

TITLE
BetterBicycling.com - Where Bicycling and Photography meet

DESCRIPTION:
Come see some of the best images of bicycles, bicyclists, and bicycle enthusiasts. This photo gallery is a BetterPholio offered by BetterPhoto.com® - visit BetterPhoto.com to get your own Web site like this.

If the keywords were vague like "photos", "photography", etc. then too many other competing sites will come up when people search those terms and it would never make it to page 1. So being as specific as possible is the name of the game.

No. When your customers click through to purchase one of your images and checkout, there is a button that says "If you do not have a Paypal account, click here". If a visitor clicks that, they are able to pay with a credit card without having to sign up for a Paypal account.

BetterPhoto.com® does not offer BetterPholio phone support at this time. We are happy to help you with whatever issues you are having via email. You can email our BetterPholio Specialist whenever you need help, and she will get back to you within 24 hours (usually a lot sooner).

Our BetterPholio packages have been designed to operate and be maintainable for anyone, (even complete non-techs). If you find, after reading your step by step instructions that were emailed to you when your site was built, that the set up and customizing process is just too difficult for you, we will be more than happy to help.

You can attach your logo to your home page photo using a program like Photoshop and then upload it to your site as you would any photo.

To delete a Mailing List subscriber, go to your Pro Features tab in your BetterPholio Admin Center. Choose the "Mailing List Subscribers" link. You will see "remove" links on that page. Click that link next to the subscriber's name you wish to remove from your Mailing List and this will completely remove them from your list.

Are you a happy BetterPholio owner? Help us get the word out about this great service. We make it quick and easy!

All you have to do is:

1. Sign in to your Deluxe Admin Center, and click the "Design" tab.

2. Click the "Display BetterPhoto Ads" link in the "Site Design Options" box.

3. Select the location and size of the ads you would like to display.

That's it! Three simple steps to sharing BP with the world.

You can also add a link to BetterPhoto in your Links page or do any number of other things to help us stay the world leader in photography sharing and education. To learn more, visit:

Technically you cannot. However, you can respond from your account email address and have it appear as though it's coming from your alias. If you prefer to keep your alias mail separate like this, using a free webmail service is a great way to go.I know that gmail and hotmail both allow you to set the from address of all emails going out. You could set the from address as your alias. This way your customers would have no idea that you were using a hotmail or gmail account for your business email.

The fact of the matter is that, since there are over 40 million Web sites out there - with everyone wanting their site to be found on the first page returned by the search engines - this is a very competitive and difficult thing to do. It is an art and it doesn't happen overnight. So be patient with yourself and give yourself some time - it can take about 4 to 6 weeks to get indexed on the major search engines even when you are actively promoting your site with them.

This search engine optimization can be a fun game - it is exciting when you get better placement on the search engines. But it can be frustrating too. If you want to learn more about how it all works, go to:

http://searchenginewatch.com/

This guy - Danny Sullivan - has many great articles on the subject. Some are for paying subscribers only but many are free to everyone.

Specifically, here is a good intro on keywords:

http://searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/meta.html

Another article on keywords that seems to be more general:

hrefhttp://www.searchenginewatch.com/searchday/02/sd0611-keywords.html

We also highly recommend signing up for the free monthly newsletter at the following site. Each issue seems to have at least one great article about search engine optimization. The software they sell is also very effective - I use it all the time:

http://www.web-positiongold.com/

And here is another excellent resource - this site keeps track of the most popular search phrases and indexes them according to how much competition there is. The idea is to find keyword phrases that are not on very many Web sites but searched for often. You can do a free trial run with them to try to get better suggestions for keywords:

http://www.wordtracker.com/

Once you have determined the best keywords, you can do some things in the BetterPholio Admin Center like add the best, most searched-after text. You can add good keywords to your site when you write your Welcome Blurb and Gallery Blurb. You can go even further by adding articles and/or a Wildcard page to your site. Having good keyword phrases in these text elements can help very much.

And then, don't forget to submit your site to the various search engines for indexing. Alternatively, you can buy paid listings with the search engine to get your site indexed faster, or use outsource services like "Submit It" to help.

One last thing you can do is to tell as many people as possible your domain name. Tell them to directly type this domain name into the location field of their browser. Explain to them that it can take some time for the search engines to properly index your site. Furthermore, you can use the "Tell a Friend/Recommend the Site" function to get the word out to as many people as you can. And don't forget to print your domain name on your business cards and promotional materials. These are some of the most effective ways to get traffic to your Web site.

We have recently added streaming music to all of your BetterPholios! We currently have a library of 80 songs for you to choose from in your music library and we are adding a few songs every week. It’s super easy to add or subtract music from your playlist with the new Music Finder.

Once you’ve logged into your BetterPholio Admin Center, choose your Photos tab and you will see the “Music Manager” link in the center box at the top. Click on that link. You will then see your different site categories: Home Page, Slide Show, all photos and your photo categories. You can choose up to five different songs for each category. Do so by clicking on the edit icon next to each of your categories. You will then see boxes for your five different song choices for that particular category. Click the “Find Music” button to view your different song choices. You can preview each song before selecting it by clicking on the megaphone icon in your Music Finer. When you’ve made your choice, click on the “Select” button next to the song. This will add the song to your first song selection box. When you’re done selecting your music, hit the Update button at the bottom of that page. You can then move on to your next category and add music the same way! That’s all there is to it!

1) Choose a photo from each of your BetterPholio™ galleries and make sure to jot down the Photo ID number for each. (Find the Photo ID number by hovering over the photo with your cursor - the number and picture title will then appear. Another method: By hovering over the photo, a long URL will appear at the bottom of your screen. Towards the end of the URL, it will say: photoid=xxxxxx.)

2) Next, go to your BetterPholio Admin Center.

3) In the Admin Center, click on Create/Update Categories.

4) In the Create/Update Categories section: Pick a gallery and click on the "Edit This Category" link, which puts you in the Update Category box.

5) In the Update Category box, look for "Thumbnail Photo ID", and type in your picture's ID number. Next, click on the Update Category button below ... and that's it!

Spam is incredibly annoying. Unfortunately since the alias is just forwarding email, we cannot add a spam filter to it. Members who don't like this spam have 3 options:
1) Request that we change your email alias
2) Request that we turn off your alias altogether if you do not use it
3) Leave everything as is, and delete spam as it comes in, or get a good spam filter

There is no way for us to stop the spam or track it down or prosecute the spammer. We wish there was something more we could do.

Your copyright name is determined by the name you enter in your BetterPhoto Member Center Contact Information under "First and Last Name". Go ahead and sign into your Member Center through the BetterPhoto.com® home page. Click on your "Member Info" tab and change your first and last name to reflect the name you would like displayed as your Copyright. This will update your copyright information on your BetterPholio.

In Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu, select Internet Options, and then click the Delete Files button.

From your BetterPholio™ Admin Center, click on your "Update Parent Category" link. You will see your Parent Categories listed. Click on the "Edit this category" link for each. You will then see an "Update Subcategories" section where you are able to assign your Photo Categories to your Parent Categories. Remember, all of your Photo Categories must be assigned to a Parent Category. Once you do this, your photos should only appear in the categories to which they are assigned.

What you can do is create any size image in a digital image-editing software program. Then follow the instructions on the Home Page Graphic page of your BetterPholio™ Admin Center to upload this new graphic.

First of all, to create new categories with a password, click on "Create/Update Photo Categories" (second link under Images in your Admin Center). Scroll all the way down to the bottom of that page. Under "Create a New Category" there is a box at the bottom entitled "Category Password". This is where you create your passwords for each new category.

Now, to add passwords to your existing categories, click on "Create/Update Photo Categories" again. Here you will see your existing categories. Click on "Edit this category". A box will come up and you will notice the last white box is entitled "Category Password". This is where you create your passwords for each of your existing categories.

Just remember, passwords are case sensitive.

From your Admin Center, click on the "basic hit counter" link. Delete all of the text in the box and this will remove your hit counter.

After you have set up your PayPal account, use your "Update Product Categories" link in your Admin Center to set up your different Product Categories (i.e. 8x10 glossy, 5x7 framed, etc.). Once you have done that you can move to the "Make Photo Products" link to add your pricing information. Your images will only appear for sale on your site after you have associated a price with a particular image.

1. Go to the "Photo Manager" link under your Photos tab.

2. At the top of that page you will see a "Find Your Photos" box. Here you can find the specific photos you are looking to categorize. Search by using the drop down menus in that box. Once you have searched for the photos you are looking for, go back to the top of this page. You will see four buttons there. Choose which view you would like to use (I recommend using your "Full Details" button at first). You will then see the photos you searched for and all their details.

3. If you have not defined any custom categories, select the box next to "All Photos" and hit the Apply Changes button at the bottom of the page. If you have defined categories, check the box next to the particular category you wish to have that photo assigned.

From your BetterPholio™ Admin Center click on the "basic hit counter" link and follow the instructions there to set up your free hit counter from Bravenet. Once you have finished this process, the hit counter will appear on your home page.

There are two little checkboxes on the Contact admin pages in the Member Center / BetterPholio™ Admin Center that allow you to hide your address and/or phone number from the public eye. By checking these boxes, you keep that information from being displayed.

To insert a picture in any text box on your BetterPholio pages, you will need to add this HTML code:

To find an image's URL, right click the photo and select "Properties" from the drop down menu. Insert that URL in the code above where it says IMAGE URL HERE.

If you have anymore questions please do not hesitate to let me know. Thanks!

All you need to know is some basic HTML. But is it is very important that you do it right - doing it wrong could cause major problems.

1. Grab the URL and the name of the link that you want to post.
2. Type in

a less than symbol <
a href=
a quotation mark
your URL
another quotation mark
a greater than symbol >
your name of the link
a less than symbol <
a forward slash
the letter a
a greater than symbol >

so it should look like this:

http://www.yourURL.com

Important: Do not include any line breaks within the code. i.e. don't hit return or enter as you are typing in the code.

Log into your BetterPholio Admin Center. Choose your Photos tab. Click on the "Update Category Sort Order" link. Then just drag and drop your categories into the order you wish, then click the Update Sort Order button.

There are a few initial steps to set up your statistics service. From your BetterPholio Admin Center, go to the Pro Features tab and click on the "Google Analytics Setup" link. From there click to show Notes/Instructions and then the expanded tutorial link at the top. Once you have followed all those steps, there is roughly a 24 hour waiting period before your statistic reports will start showing data. After initial setup, click on the "Advanced: Google Analytics" link in the Pro Features tab of your Admin Center to view your site statistics reports.
