I've noticed it being very changeable.  I sold over 3 times more photos on Thursday than I did on Friday.  Friday usually drops a bit but never so drastically.

Thanks Christian and Mocker.  I didn't realize the best match had been so volatile lately.

Yeah, Im afraid its the usual story. Hadnt it been for these changes I would have been excl. ages ago.

best.

Same here.  This screwing around with the search engines is the reason I don't go exclusive anywhere.  It can lead to a drastic drop in income.  I don't want to be stuck with one agency when that happens.  I was seriously considering going exclusive at IS in 2008, but a best match change late that year caused my sales to plummet.  I was fortunate that the other agencies were performing well at the time, although IS did rebound in early 2009.
