I have read with interest recently that there are sites that pays you to upload photographs. And when it is viewed or downloaded, you get paid for it.
I am wondering, if I am the owner of the picture I took, how many of these sites can I upload my photo to?
If I sell the rights of that photo through one of these sites, do I also have to remove them from all the other sites that I have uploaded it to?
Kindly advise as this is totally new world to me.
Any advice is much appreciated. My thanks in advance.

I submit my photos to a handful of these sites. There is no limit to the number of sites you can upload your photos to. I've never heard of any of these sites having exclusive agreements, but if any of them do you will have to read all of the terms for that individual site.
I know that some stock websites have exclusive agreements where you can't sell your photos on any other stock websites, however, I'm not sure if that also applies to uploading your photos to pay-to-share websites or not. Again, you would have to read the specific agreement terms.
Also, I would highly recommend NOT selling the rights to your photos on any of these sites. I have been selling my photographs for years, and I still own all of the rights to every single one of my photos.

Thanks for the tip there trickiwoo.
I will be having a lot of reading to do when I start joining these sites.
So, any good recommendation for sites that do not take over the exclusive rights of your photos when you post them?
I am also looking to selling some of my photos for some extra income.
How long have you been shooting SLRs?

Oh boy! Thanks for all that recommendations. Appreciate it a lot.
Looking through all of them right now.
D300? 
you got a D300? 
I as a chance to use one when I was visiting the Trevi fountains in Italy.
Man, is the camera good. It feels so comfortable in the hands. And the number of points of focus, wow!
But the price of the camera is really something I cannot afford right now. I will work hard to earn my next camera!

In fact I know the similar website before, but I already forget it. As I doubt it is not trustworthy. It is very difficult to find a trustworthy website to pay for you. You can try to contact the user to see whether they really pay or not.
I love China
