I've thought of that Leaf, but shutterstock doesn't put in their ad in google's adwords to catch those people who put in the search term of 'shutterstock' - the put in their ad with a ton of different search terms hoping to get those people who are searching for something other than their name where google won't be putting their site at the top of the first page of the list of results.
I have to disagree
Since shutterstock purchased ads on the word 'shutterstock' they are obviously looking to catch people who type the word 'shutterstock' into google. Adwords only show up for words you specifically type in.
I agree somewhat with you geopappas about the fact that the side show people may hog too much space if they images were place in both areas - however being the fact that only 8 images are shown in the sideshow at a time - i don't feel like they are hogging too much room from the regular search results.
