TurboSquid, Here We Come!

A few days ago, we made the decision to place some of our 3d models and renderings on TurboSquid, a premier 3d rendering site. We have about eight or nine models up right now, and will be adding more in the near future.

Basically, TurboSquid is a broker for 3d graphics, models, textures, and software. Artists or companies upload their own artwork / products into their system and set a price for the items. If someone buys the product, TurboSquid pays the artist / company. The artist or company can set the price they want to sell the object for (including Free!) and can upload screen shots as well. TurboSquid pays out either a check (when your account accrues enough money) or a direct transfer to PayPal.

TurboSquid has some interesting statistics which the artist can look at, including how many people looked at a product, downloaded it, paid for it, etc...

One feature that is absolutely missing: The ability to get search statistics for what people are looking for. An example: I can see that 22 people clicked on our light. I can see that 3 people downloaded it. However, I cannot see how many people searched for "light" or the keywords that they may have used to find our light. This would help us tune our ad-copy, descriptions, and keywords.

It also would be very interesting, and helpful, if TurboSquid would tell us that the top keywords / search phrases were X, Y, and Z. That way, as we are modeling, we could build out those top 10, and try and supply products for the demand. I have no idea if boats, blood, or city blocks are what people are looking for on TurboSquid.
