The current default image search sort sequence is Most Recent. So users when searching see photos that match their search terms, working from the most recently uploaded through to the earliest uploaded. This is a good default image sort method when the library is relatively new and hence not many images are available.

A new more sophisticated Optimised sort option has recently been created and is now available for all users, at; Search, Options, Sort. This Optimised sort option presents the user with recently uploaded images intermixed with those images that are most downloaded (and thereafter most viewed). This ensures that all photographers very good existing images in the library are presented early to viewers as well, along with recently uploaded image options. Internal testing suggests that this generally gives a much improved image search experience for customers, and hence should further lift sales volumes.

The intention is shortly to switch the default sort sequence to this new Optimised sort, and to leave the previous Most Recent sort sequence, and other sort options available for users to select if they wish.

One way to see the difference is to open 2 windows, and search the same term in both, one with the current default sort sequence, and the other with the new Optimised sort. Searching the most frequently searched terms (see bottom of Photographers' Lounge page) will give a good indication of what potential image customers will be seeing.

Please try out the new optimised sort if you wish, and you are welcome to post any queries, compliments, further improvement suggestions, comments, or objections that you may have.

cheers for now
