P�l< having just done it myself, i have to offer that you will get very few hits on your web site by editors and writers, if any, looking for stuff. you will have to have the site there to refer people that you contact via other means. IOW, you have to have enough people see your traditional pictures first that may know someone that could use a picture of yours. i have close to 2000 pictures of outdoors and hiking in the Lower Hudson Valley on my web site. it's the largest such collection on the Internet by close to an order of magnitude. all of my editorial contacts for photos of mine have been through friends who work in organizations that are contacted because they are familiar with the area and with my photos. even with all that, most of my photos i have sold are directly to friends or friends of friends looking for gifts. the reasons why editors and writers won't search the Internet at large is because they don't know anything about people they may contact with respect to licensing, technical competence, availability, and so on. traditional means of contact are still the way you get sales.
