Default Re: What determines search rank of Zazzle?

I am really new to zazzle but have started a gallery there in addition to my cafepress store. One thing that really bothers me is the highlighted galleries section where they highlight stores with the most activity. By most activity they mean people who use api key bulk tools to add hundreds and hundreds of clip art and text designs with one little different word like Zowie, Chloe,Joey's 1st birthday or I love Pocatello, Nyack, Kalamazoo, whatever... This is a big problem on Cafepress and now I am seeing it on Zazzle too.
I guess there will always be marketplace flooders but why not reward the shopkeepers who put a lot of effort into bringing people cool, original and artistic designs, and highlight more of their stores.
Just my opinion. I am fairly new to zazzle so I will see if it's worth the effort or not.
