Thanks for the answer! Looking forward to seeing the homepage refresh!
If the traffic diverted is so minimal, then why do it at all? it seems that it’s bringing more headaches than benefits. The forums are filled with people angry because the “Unlimited” elements banner is not clear enough. Check out the amount of angry/annoyed people that are complaining about this (that leads to frustrated customers that after the bad experience, just leave without purchasing anything):

For last, we wanted to ask about the search algorithm, a while back Power Elite Author @anps created this topic:
but it was never addressed by anyone of the Envato team. There are also lots of other topics that complain about how is it possible that someone with (for example) 10 sales and 3 5 star ratings is given a better positioning than an item with 1000 sales and 500 5 star ratings and 1 4 star rating. It seems that the search algorithm need to be reworked.
Right now we have an item that, when we search for a keyword (that the title includes) the results show first items that have lower sales and or ratings than ours. It seems kinda unfair.
Thanks!
