I have noticed that I have been on the exact same ranking for several days in a row, probably for a week or so. This has never happened before. Sure sometimes I could have stay

I just jumped 500 forward, don't have a clue about what's going on.

You had that too? I figured maybe the system was log-jammed and it appears from some answers below that was the case.

Yes. Totaly agree. Just yesterday i had 1150 odd somewhere around there. This morning i had 659, this afternoon i had 898.

God know's what it will say when i get back on in an hour. I really do hope it gets resolved as it's a good progress indicator also

Carson has said that the process used for the rank system had a hiccup, they are fixing it :)

I think that because so many people are joining WA now that maybe the system couldn't keep up with it.

Hi Johanna,
Actually wrote a blog about it a while ago, it amazing, having two individual ranking for the same position. Hope it gets resolved correctly. You can check out Carson's comment, in the blog, it should give you some assurance of not loosing your rank.

Always your pal.

There have been some on going adjustments by Kyle and Carson.

It was in the post by Kyle i read that he wrote in August.... They were going to adjust algorithms here...

Do you have a link?

I will look for it ..... and get back with you>> :)

Thanks :)

Must be the new algorithms Kyle was mentioning,,..

Is there a blog on WA about it?

What algorithms?

have read quite a lot of posts from people who have gone up and down hundred of ranks

Yes, so strange! And some (like me) seems to have their rankings frozen...

(: mine is frozen too, but I don't mind that much:)

I can imagine :)

Yeah, I am not sure what's going on either. I don't even think I am supposed to be 75. Someone else is that rank on the list thingy. I think it's due to so many people joining and getting ranked.

This happens once in a while... My name, and some others have totally dropped off the ranking, and we're in the Top 100...

Yeah it's the same with me.

Okay, thank you :)

I find it very difficult to get free images or even stock images that can be purchased, for products for my niche. I sometimes see that a blog in my niche has product images (o

if you are quoting the site, give credit always.

I made that error few times..

Images, I create my own, or modify , not to incriminate any one.
Contact the webmaster of those sites whose images you like.

Thanks, good advice!

have you looked at morguefile.com

Hiya Katie, I haven't checked that one out yet....does it give us free pictures of cadavers??
Mark

My apologies Katie.....a joke never works when you have to explain it.....
....morgue file. ...cadavers??
Mark

lol well I am tired drove back from near London so grey matter not working ha ha

Of course, I remember you said you were taking your grandchild back down.....hope the trip went ok.
Mark

No I hadn't. Thanks for the advice!

Mark, I thought the same when I saw the name of the website ;)

went well thank you so now its time to get back into work grove, have a good day

Must be a couple of Burke and Hare fans!!

lol I do like that program ha ha

I have pictures of books on my website, but I did email the author and get permission to use them for blogging and promoting.

Thanks for that info :)

Hey Johanna,

You always need to ask permission and even if they give it to you, Loes makes a great point that you don't know if they even have the rights to the images they are using on their website.

You want to try and find image companies that certify that they have the rights and that they can give it to you. So even sites that offer images may not have the right to allow others to use them. GraphicStock.com is one company that certifies. Others will as well.

You can use images that you take yourself, but even with that if it contains logos of the product, that can be a source of trouble. Most companies welcome the free publicity but it's always good to check.

As Loes also stated, affiliate managers are usually fine with using images from their website, but it never hurts to check with them first.

Best Regards,
Jim

Thanks for that Jim! I will keep that in mind and be careful when using images.

Like you said it's better to ask and check once to many :)

/Johanna

No you can't do that without investigation. Are you sure you "trust" the website owner, if he/she did use copyright free pictures. Can you be sure they did? And even then, you have to ask permission for use.

Ain't there a way to get your pictures through your affiliate program at that company?

Be very thorough and careful

Thank you Loes! That was I was afraid you would say, LOL :) I might be able to get pictures through an affiliate program, I haven't gotten that far yet. At least I know now that I have to ask permission before using a picture.

If we are affiliated to a program, can we freely use the pictures (included screen captures) from their site to promote their products?

You have to check this in the terms of service, and if it's not mentioned, just ask, I believe that Amazon is not allowing screen capture

Thank you!

there are many places where you can get free photos of allot of different things. here are some of them: http://www.morguefile.com https://stocksnap.io/ http://www.freeimages.com/

Thanks, but I cannot find the specific product images I want from those free sites.

What are you looking for?

Some products in my niche, specific brands that are not that common. :)

OK.

To be safe ask the website developer if they don't mind you doing that.
