Hello Bjorn, nice to meet you

Technical issues? Ideas?
I think we have to make Yay a compliment!
Uploading is easy, submitting is a pleasure, acceptance and rejections are mostly relevant and when there is a small technical problem sending an email is enough to get the problem solved in 1 or 2 days!
Two wishes are left here: Hoping that Yaymicro will get more sales in the future and that other stockagencies will learn from the way you run your site.

Oh don't be too mundane! Sales are just a detail. As long as it looks good! 
Try to look at it as a buyer: search for "business success cheering". YAY: 3 images: 2 Arcurs (you can find on a gazillion sites) and 1 badly lit bleached out shot that was probably rejected elsewhere. DT: 441 images, great variety to choose from. Why would any buyer with a minimum of common sense buy from YAY instead of from DT? Sad, but that's business.

Yes, I got the same results as Bjorn.

I'd be frustrated that there's no-one cheering until page 3 though.   I feel a bit sorry for Maridav who 'met the brief' as it were, and got pushed behind less appropriate images in this case.

He typed the keywords in Yay with his elbows 

Technically, I got no complaints. Yaymicro is one of the easiest sites to upload and submit images, plus it's fast as hell...at least in this part of the world.

@FD... this is way off subject but that leak is interesting.  Is it common?  I seem to be having a Memory Leak problem but haven't been able to isolate it.

Sorry, Yay.  felt the uncontrollable urge to solve my problem.   

The last part of the discussion is too technical for me. I don't understand what you mean. Can you please explain me in very simple English what this memory leak exactly is and what the consequences are when surfing the web? Do you have a link about the subject, so I can read more about it?

Ok, now I understand what you’re talking about! And yes, I know about this kind of problems. With older Windows versions you needed to install a memory manager to get your memory back. Or doing a restart.

Since I use Picniche I left my browser sometimes open all day and indeed I had some problems lately with a slowing down computer. Thought it was a harddisk that’s nearly full!
Did you try this? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11922/

After doing a search on the internet I found also that there is a problem with a memory leak in Windows7 too. Microsoft said they planned to solve this this month August with SP1.
It seems that there is a connection with the FF problem when using Win7 and FF together on one computer. It was found by accident by a group of people responsible for the computers in a company when installing new PCs. (Don't know how to call them in English. I.T.'s?) They asked Microsoft, for they couldn’t found a solution on the M’s website. Microsoft told them about the planned fix in SP1. It is not in English, so a link is useless I think.)

When this can happen, there is a serious problem with FF:
“This will eventually slow down the system and in the worse case lead to a password leaking i.e, your password will be displayed publicly due to memory leakage in Internet browsers.” (quote from the blog you linked.) 
By the way: there’s no date on the blog and the only reaction is from March 2009. So at first I was thinking it is old news, but it seemed not to be solved yet.

Perhaps a good idea to try Opera instead, but then I can’t use Picniche anymore…
At least it will always help not to install too much add-ons, being careful with toolbars and don’t do too much ‘personalizing’ in FF.
Thanks for the info!

Okay, this is now officially way of topic, but who cares Generally when firefox behaves like that I would try turning some of your addons off and see if that helps. Sometimes they can cause problems. Also, Chrome has a better architecture, as it starts every tab in it's own process, meaning you don't have to kill the whole application when something screws up.

Back to our search. The reason the business man turns up on page one is because the title of the image is: "Cheerful senior business man". I've looked into it, and it turns out we ignore endings of words, so cheerful is the same as cheering as far as the search engine concerns. This behaviour is sometimes a good idea, in this case not. We'll have to see if we should change it, or if this is generally a good idea. Search is complex, and tuning on search could end up making everything else worse.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Had a sale on Yay today paying 5 euros commission. But is this a sale or the 3rd party (2nd quarter) sales being added? We normally get an email when the results are in but I haven't had one. Nice commission if it is a sale but dissapointing if it's the 3rd party sales! Anyone else get this today? Regards, David.
