Totally makes me realize I am keywording all wrong if I want to crack the top 10.  I pulled a few keywords - guess which photo these belongs to (not to make it easy for you, but the words RED and SUNBATHING should be a dead giveaway):

Exactly what I thought. Even stranger when you search for it by it's title keyword 'Cosmetics' it does not appear within the first 800 results sorted by 'Relevance Descending'.

Or maybe what I'm thinking is it made the top ten, in spite of bad keywords and spamming?

Second best selling image and it has 215 downloads? Something is wrong if that's the second best selling image for 2010.
