anybody who monitors their rankings with the same vigor that we in the seo community do will have noticed some fairly dramatic shifts in the algorithm starting last thursday (july 5th) and continuing through the weekend. many sites are rocketing into the top 10 which, of course, means that many sites are being dropped at the same time. we were fortunate not to have any clients on the losing end of that equation however we have called and emailed the clients who saw sudden jumps into the top positions to warn them that further adjustts are coming. after a weekend of ysis there are some curiosities in the results that simply require further tweaks in the ranking system.

earlier in my life i always seemed to own geldings. in the last 10 years though, i've owned mainly mares. there's no rhyme or reason for it--although i did...

today we proudly present the winner of our 3 000 000th image compeion. the contributor who uploaded most images in the 3 million seconds after our image 3 million is mrs. ana liza s. steiert from berlin with the impressive number of 3,719 images. with ana we found a particularly typical fotolian who perfectly reflects what fotolia is about. she was born 1965 in the philippines. following a career in the el and catering sector she has lived and worked in macau, new delhi, dubai, cairo and berlin. ana?s husband oliver is a famous chef granting her access to the knowledge and ingredients necessary for food pography. most of her images are actual co-productions with oliver. ana sent us a very private and interesting letter descring her pographic career and ilrating her story with images from her private album. ana writes:

my grandfather told me to cherish my pos, so that one day when somebody asks me where i was coming from, i only need to show my pos ?

after my grandfather?s death in 1987, i left the philippines and landed a job at the mandarin oriental, macao ? where i first met oliver. in 1990, i left my job there as training manager to join oliver in the philippines. two weeks after i arrived in baguiocity, a strong earthquake struck, killing hundreds of people and destroying the hyatt terraces el where oliver was working. we survived it without any scar, and the rest is history?

tomorrow is grandpa?s 21st death anniversary. this year oliver and i will celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary with 3 energetic children. and we stumbled on fotolia almost exactly a year ago ? while we were trying to set up our own art print design website. fotolia has a fantastic set-up for buyers and sellers. the amazing range of pos cater to different needs of a wide variety of people, from real-life snapss to highly sophisticated ones.

our po technique is a mixture of experience, relationship with the ject and technology. we are using olympus slr digital camera with 10 million pixels, standard lens 14-42mm, angle viewfinder plus expodisc filter. most of our pos are s in daylight. oliver the pionate chef in our family has over 25 years of experience.

we congratulate ana (and oliver)who earned herself 3,000 credits and we want to thank all other contributors who took part in this contest. you all are winners because your images will be generating sales.

with far above 14,000 images ana liza is one of the most industrious pographers on fotolia. so it is no surprise that she won this contest. check out her portfolio!

unfortunate quote of the week

when htc announce a new phone, it's almost always a european-band version, and when we publish information about it on our sites people will invariably comt that

here's the question i asked to one of my contacts at htc:

"why is it that htc consistently focuses on tri-band gsm devices? htc typically releases a european-focused tri-band gsm phone, then months later, releases a north american-focused tri-band gsm version. is it a technological limitation, or a marketing decision? and if it’s a marketing decision, is it driven by the phone carriers or htc? why don’t we see more quad-band gsm phones from htc?"

and the answered i received from htc was as follows:

"the initial models of touch diamond and touch pro have been optimized for european / asian bands because htc is launching with partners in those countries first. these models do not feature 850/1900/2100 3g as on many of our previous flagship models as european partners have now begun operating 3g on a second band – 900 mhz, and it is difficult to optimize for 4 bands of 3g as well as multiple 2g bands. the considerably smaller size of the touch diamond and touch pro compared to our previous 3g devices makes this task even more difficult, especially as many of our smaller previous models did not feature gps. additional models of both handsets optimized for other regions will launch in the second half of 2008."

so, reading between the lines a t, it really s down to size - and the number of bands each type of chip needs to support. 2g is limited to four bands in total, so i think that's why we saw a few 2g quad-band phones. when you look at 3g, however, things get much more complicated: in europe the 3g bands being used are 2100 mhz and 900 mhz, and 1800 mhz is coming down the pipe. australia uses 2100 mhz and 850 mhz, and the us needs to support 850, 1900, and 1700 mhz (t-mole's 3g network). so a true world phone would require five or six bands for full 3g support, plus the four 2g bands - we're up to nine or ten bands now. and you can't forget about the wifi, bluetooth, and gps, so you have to add antennae for those as well.

now take all those engineering requirets and cross-reference them against consumer trends for smaller, thinner, and lighter phones with better and better battery life...and you realize that htc can't do everything in one phone. not today at least - i'm sure we'll see chips and antenna designs be created that will allow some convergence, but for now this seems to be the best they can do.
