When new members join fotoLibra they occasionally ask us questions (prodding us to see if we’re mortal, I suppose). If they do ask, perhaps the most common is “What are people searching for?”

It’s easily answered, and it’s of no commercial use to them or us.

The answer is

1. Sex

2. Breasts

3. Tits

Need I go on?

A professional picture buyer doesn’t do repeated searches anyway, so it’s hard to analyse the information. Most of them simply tell us what they want and leave us to do the searching, which is why we keep rabbiting on to our members about the importance of key words.

When I saw a list of the most pirated ebooks this year I had a feeling I could guess what would be on it. I was not wrong.

These are the books that have been downloaded through BitTorrent between 100,000 and 250,000 times this year:

1. Kamasutra

2. Adobe Photoshop Secrets

3. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Amazing Sex

4. The Lost Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci

5. Solar House – A Guide for the Solar Designer

6. Before Pornography – Erotic Writing In Early Modern England

7. Twilight – Complete Series

8. How To Get Anyone To Say YES – The Science Of Influence

9. Nude Photography – The Art And The Craft

10. Fix It – How To Do All Those Little Repair Jobs Around The Home

Depressing, but not as depressing as I’d feared.
