Question About Sponsoring Keywords

I recently sponsored the keyword volkswagen. I added it to my website, was accepted and when I am logged in I see my photos together on the page third row down, when I use that keyword. When I log out and go to a completely new browser, not only do I not see my photos on the third row down, when I scrolled the photos that apply to volkwagen, my photos are on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th page after searching.

I understand that it's on a rotation basis as others are sponsoring, and I refreshed the page multiple times and still saw the same artists.

Maybe I misunderstood what sponsoring meant. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Randi, it will only rotate with each NEW person that comes to search for that search or keyword search term. If you are at least on pages 23.24.25 you are doing well. Most of us (newer members) don't even make it to those pages and only have the once in a while view from the sponsored line. When you are logged in to your account you will always see it listed in the sponsored line because they do that to let you see that you have sponsored that search term, doesn't mean that others are seeing you on the third row at the same time. It's just for your use to see that you have in fact sponsored that page. I hope I am correct in saying that, but that is the way I understand it. Hope that helps a bit.

Am not even sure that it will ROTATE, believe that mostly it will show your work to those who come to FAA from your Blog or Website.

If only 5-10% from them click through to FAA, then you have to really build up those who read the blog a lot, to get anyone to FAA...

Personally feel that if you have a lot more followers on Facebook or Twitter, sending them directly to FAA from there, or email is much better than a Blog.

An example is my Email signature, it states "Just check out My Latest Work" to the Image page, which show the last items you uploaded...
An EMAIL list of buyers of your work is the most important. If they like one or more, and you get them on the email list, just send one email per week to all.
In your description, if you state something like you will send a certificate of authenticity to buyers who email you, it can help you to collect the email address.

Tweeting all my Latest links FIRST in the list that TweetAdder Uses to send over 700 of our tweets, automatically sending 80 of them daily... Saves me a lot of work. Each weekend, I switch the list with one which sends only my latest 160 images. For weekends are when the largest number of readers are checking tweets. During the week, it rotates all 700+ links to twitter. Its easy to compile the latest 180, as I add to the top of my Twitter list, each one as they are uploaded. Then just copy the top 180 of my links.
