i'm trying to understand the most popular rating info. i look at my most popular images in my home page. the first one has 5 stars. the rest have no stars. but the second pic doesn't even show up as popular when i do a keyword search on it while later ones do show up as popular

are the stars the only rating of an image? do they reflect the number of thumbs up an image gets?

thanks for any info!

    Here's what we say about PhotoRank:
    http://www.smugmug.com/help/search-online-photo-album


    PhotoRank = popularity

    PhotoRank You can increase a photo's rank by moving your mouse over it and clicking the thumbs-up symbol that appears. You can cast one vote per photo.

    High PhotoRank You can also rate a photo or gallery with stars when you leave a comment.

    There are other factors...like time. Photos from events past will usually be less popular than recent ones.

    Photo Rank - Popularity vs. Best
    Re: this and another thread's comments regarding Ranking - for those who would prefer to "compete" for "Best", and find value in that as a means of critique (or even receive direct critique from fellow photographers), it might be useful to offer a "Best" feature, side-by-side with the "Popularity" one. The site www.photo.net has such feature, which might offer some ideas.
