Strange thing, one of my old photos is selling pretty well for a couple weeks.  I checked to see if it is featured on the front page - nope.  I had a freebie of the week end June, but it didn't bump the sales of this particular photo during that period. 

I just wonder - can it be featured somewhere other than on their main page?  How can it be getting all this attention?  Or has some search change returned decent sellers to the front?  I'm not sure if it's a great seller, but it's had over 700 sales on SS and I think it sold virtually every day for the first year.  Funny, it sold for $31 on FT this week too and a couple little sales on other sites.  My best earner this month is such an oldie.

It also goes to remind me that if you capture a nature/animal/wildlife photo that "sticks" it is timeless and can sell very well for a long time.  It's getting them to stick and not die that is the tricky part

Yes, it happens at times.

As sales occur at different sites, I would rule out search engine changes.

There may be a correlation with current events?

Or just our tendency to find patterns in actually random statistical data?

Not complaining  but it's so old and it sold 7 times today 5 yesterday 5 Sunday etc., whereas it had only sold a couple times over the first two weeks of the month.  Not OMG 2000 sales, but I was just wondering if SS can be featuring it somewhere off the landing page, or else they may have changed search again?   If noone else has noticed change I'll just enjoy while it lasts. 

To follow up:  I did find the photo on their front page rotation after all.  Gave a nice little bump to sales.  Back to normal now though.
