its all about the amount of your sales compared to other, today searched for a subject and found my pic on the 10th place and only has 70 sales for 4 months

type of sale might be relevant too

its all about the sales I guess.. you can have 10 sales and appear on the first page of course it must be a subject/keyword that is not downloaded often..

have a stock friend that told me once that having a file on the 50 most popular (week file) you need to have like 5 to 10 sales a day during that week

Thanks Luis, I do understand that.

What I am actually wondering is how many sales it takes to appear within the popular search... first page or last page.

I may have answered my own question.

I just did a search for one of my images that has been online for several months and has not sold and IT DID appear within the popular search results.

A winning personality and a habit of saying "the drinks are on me"

cannot be only the total of sales, have a picture placed at the first page number 10th and that picture has almost 450 sales (online for 10 months), I cannot believe that tons of other after don´t have much, I am talking about Yuri etc..

I am doing a search with just one keyword

Some do, that is certain. I often have new files sell within a day of approval.

My biggest sellers are the ones that are at the top of the popular search, which I believe is the default search option.

Lip plumping, tooth caps, silicone implants, perfect makeup, hair volumizing, blond bleech, that will be a start. Photos on SS are all popular. The difference is how popular where they show up.
