More Smiles

So a couple posts ago, I wrote about a picture of mine that had been downloaded almost 800 times. It is now up to 957. (click HERE to see the photo)

I also recently was informed of two more uses for that photo, which I have been so curious about. I get informed by using google alerts, and if you haven't tried this, you really need to. It is great and does all the work of regular searching for you!

Anyway, I get informed by google alerts and they always give the title of the website or article. And I have to admit, this time I was nervous. The first article was "How to prevent tooth decay" or something close to that. When I read that, I figured they had thought my teeth were dirty OR had taken the photo and altered it and gave me some black teeth or something. But, they didn't (thank goodness).

Here is the link

There was also another article about the top five mouthwashes that used the same photo :)

I found that amusing because I am not a big mouthwash fan. I prefer my 5 minute electric toothbrush routine.

I love seeing people use my pictures!!!!!!!

Feeling Good

I recently set my google alerts to find my photos being used on the web. It wasn't hard but out of over 1000 downloads from morguefile.com, I would have expected there to be more than six. I think the problem is partially that people don't credit the photographer. Well, okay. But I just REALLY like to see how my photos are used. It makes me happy that I could help someone else get a message across.

And even though there was only six, I am so excited that there were six!!! How fun is that?? I only do this for fun, and seeing my picture used by someone gives me such a thrill!

Here are the places I have found so far :)

Thanks to those who use my picture and give me credit! It's fun to see them! I know a couple others have told me they were using my pics in powerpoint presentations. Thanks to them for sending a quick message :) It really makes my day!
