Tom - what is the link to your main page there? with thumbnails? I want to see the pics you think are of no interest :) I do find it interesting to see which photos of mine have gotten the most hits -- apart from the fact that some have been up for a longer time than others. I do find it curious that except for the first couple of months I was on photo.net I have gotten no critiques or ratings... mind you, I don't care - I don't do it myself, but it has been over a year since anyone rated one of my photos, let alone critqued it. I wondered if it was because I don't rate the pics of others so am somehow shut out of the process. ann > > > > >>From: Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> >>To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> >>Subject: Re: Photo.net Observation >>Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 16:26:14 -0800 (PST) >> >>I gather you have purchased search words to "get" people to look at >>your photos. <LOL> >>I went through that, and about $300 a month, for a year and a half >>before it sank in that I wasn't making a profit.
