I absolutely agree, my top selling images fall down the search order so fast. What I cant understand is, if we are trying to improve the 'customer experience' as we are told, why do top selling images disappear down the search order at the same speed as non selling images. I would have thought it should be more about giving customers more of what they want, as Microstock has proved so brilliantly.

Best wishes, Dazeley
