Give The Stock Solution a LINK, and get PAID for it!

Link & Earn
For Every
Click!

Here's How It Works:

Quickly review our site content. The Stock Solution is a progressive stock photo agency that was established in 1978, and has been on the Web since early 1995. Our Online Photo Search makes it easy for photobuyers to quickly find the right image. But more importantly, it also allows for a free, custom "Off-line" Photo Search. This means that photobuyers can do real research, deep into our files, and find those images that are rarely seen because they're not in a catalog or online database. Deep file research is something that is almost unheard of in this day of "order-by-the-numbers". The client benefits by discovering new and unique images. Our photographers benefit by having that research selection now entered into the database, and becoming a permanent part of our online catalog -- where his/her images can now receive increased exposure.
Become a ClickTrade Link Partner. Check out ClickTrade and become a Link Partner -- it's easy, and it's FREE. Once you become a registered Link Partner, you can request payment for links to thousands of sites on the ClickTrade database. You can also create a link to ClickTrade and earn up to $0.15 (their average payout is 10 cents) each time someone clicks on your link to ClickTrade to learn about their services! If you wish to build traffic to your site, you can become a ClickTrade Advertiser and offer payment for links to your site. ClickTrade earns a 30% commission or management fee from the advertiser for each click-through. This commission is added to the advertiser's costs; it is not subtracted from any payout you would earn as a Link Partner.
Link to Us. Once you have become a registered Link Partner with ClickTrade, you can now go to The Stock Solution's Home Page, click on the ClickTrade button at the bottom of the page and "request a PAID link". You do this by entering your e-mail address, and following the simple directions. You will be instructed on the HTML code to add to one of your Web pages, which produces a link to The Stock Solution's Home Page. You'll have a choice of placing a simple hypertext link, a button or a banner -- with a banner link producing the highest payout rate. Links to The Stock Solution earn up to $0.10 (our average payout is 7 cents) each time someone clicks on that link and travels from your site to ours. (This payout rate is up to ten times the average payout on the Web, which is currently about $0.01 per click from most ClickTrade Advertisers.)
Watch your income grow! Once you have established a link to us, e-mail us with the EXACT URL of the page that has that link. You will be notified of our payout rate, and how you can improve that rate if it doesn't meet with your expectations. You will be able to monitor your income through your ClickTrade account every day. We look forward to our association with you!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why should I drive people away from my site and send them to yours?
Hey, get real! This is the World Wide Web of links. People who browse the Web are looking for content. If you have what they are looking for on your site at that moment, then you'll get the sale. If you don't, then they'll quickly head some place else anyway -- so why not get paid to send them to the right place?! We have thousands of images online. We are putting thousands more online every few months. And we have the means to digitally scan and delivery new, custom researched images within hours of a photobuyer's request.
Can I provide a link to The Stock Solution without going through ClickTrade?
Absolutely! Just link to our home page, using one of the links found on this page.
Will you put up a reciprocal link to my site?
If you provided us with a free link (no ClickTrade payout), we'll include a link to your site from our Links Page. Just provide us with the exact URL of where you placed our link, and give us the linking information for your site. If you are a photographer, your site may be eligible to receive a free link via our "Top Photo Site of the Week" page. Check it out. We also provide links to other Web sites via the ClickTrade Advertiser program. If you'd like to pay us to link to you, let us know when you have your own program set up and we'll check it out.

How do I get paid for the "clicks" I generate from my link(s)?
ClickTrade allows you to monitor your account and view daily, weekly, and monthly click totals. You can also monitor where these clicks are coming from (in case you are a Link Partner with several ClickTrade Advertisers, i.e. The Stock Solution and ClickTrade). Once you have earned at least $50.00, you can make an online request for a "withdrawal" from your account. Checks are ordered on the 15th of each month, and withdrawal requests must be submitted by the 10th of the month in ordered to get paid during that month.
What determines how much one gets paid per click?
Each ClickTrade Advertiser (including ClickTrade) determines their own payout rate per click. Each Advertiser can accept or reject a "Request for a Paid Link". Advertisers post a rate that is paid to their best, targeted Link Partners. For instance, The Stock Solution pays their highest rate ($0.10/click) to targeted Link Partners, which in our case are photo, visual media and publishing related Web sites -- who are willing to display our banner link. A lower rate may be paid if our button link or text only link is displayed. Non-targeted sites will often receive a lower payout rate.
How does ClickTrade make money on their link management services?
ClickTrade earns a 30% commission or management fee from the advertiser for each click-through. This commission is added to the advertiser's costs; it is not subtracted from any payout you would earn as a Link Partner.
Are you (The Stock Solution) accepting new photography submissions to your stock agency?
We are always looking for new content that is unique, exiting and high in quality. However, as a mature agency, we were almost "max'd-out" on landscape and nature photographs. Theses subjects are very popular with most photographers, so competition is fierce, and these areas fill up quickly in most agency libraries. In most cases, don't bother approaching us with these subjects. IF, however, you have a great "Running Cheetah" collection, we'd like to see some samples! You should gather from this comment that we are looking for unique collections and great symbolic concept photos -- in any subject. Our most requested subjects usually involve people -- people/lifestyle or people in business/industry situations. If you think your work qualifies, send us an e-mail with the subject title, "Photo Submission Sample", and point us to some specific examples (with the exact URL location for each image) on your Web site. You can also check out our submission guidelines.

The best way to create traffic to your Web site & keep it coming:
Building a "web" of links is one of the most effective methods of Web site promotions you can do. "Sporadic banner advertising is less effective than creating permanent links ... ", says Jerry Kaplan, Co-founder and CEO, OnSale, Inc. When people search the Web for information, they're not looking for ad banners. Rather, they want to click on related links that get them more information on the topic of interest. Typically they start with a search engine, but then quickly move on to other sites. In fact, an October 1997 user study by Georgia Tech revealed that the percentage of people finding out about Web sites from other sites has actually increased over the percentage of those finding a Web site via search engines.
