Votes Or Faves

This information is not divulged, sorry.

The only info we are provided is:

It takes into consideration:

1. the relevance of your image keywords
2. the number of times an image has been sold
3. the number of times an image has been favourited
4. the number of times an image has been commented on (by others. Your own comments on your work do NOT count)
5. how long an image has been on the site
6. the number of times an image has been featured in a group
etc...

There are more than 25 different criteria that the search engine evaluates.

Hope this helps

Thank you Jeffrey.

Since you happen to be up (it's midnight where I am) do you think the frequency of posting your images in the thank you and promotional threads is picked up by the algorithm?? I realize you don't know, but just curious your opinion. Thanks.

Jeffrey, I routinely delete comments which offer nothing more than congratulations on a sale, as they really have little or nothing to do with the image itself.. Does that work against me, algorithm-wise?

There is no other information available, Maggie. I'm sorry.

Murray, once a viewer leaves a comment, it is recorded and can safely be deleted with no ramifications. Abbie explained it openly quite some time ago.

I remember Abbie saying that awhile back too.

Oh my, I better give the people I like a lot more attention!
