many images don't have 40-50 viable likely search words, so trying to get to that number the additional KW increases the chance of a irrelevant hits, so more views with no zoom. Here is an example. The lady is a candidate for the upcoming Croatian Presidential elections I have about 20 KW that might be reasonable for someone looking for this subject. To get to High discoverability I would need to add things in background like the tram. But no one who uses "Tram" in KW is good to zoom this image.

Great post Betty, and pretty much what i was thinking when i was looking at Peter's portfolio. one caveat on the "picture of people without release " : Please check the local regulations.

not sure i agree. For example, word searches seem to have great logic based on what is provided by contributor: Description>Super Tag> KW, that's much more advanced, and allows you the contributor to promote your best work. Images that have sold before, so likely more appealing, rank higher. So not random. i'm curious which site you feel have better logic?

i just did Scotch, people age=[10-11 years].... you can guess the results

ok, some tests. it's from drop down. it's and OR but no idea where it catches the info. it must make assumption (if you have certain KW) .

i went and bought myself coffee 😉

if the search request specified it, it would have [RM] or [RF] (probably 3-5% of my hits have the specification)

extremely hard to know, since if it excludes you, you will not see it in AoA. I cannot see any hit with a location in [ ] in my results. this however brings another finding. I have a search with [child] [teenager] in search. note, though the results were appropriate, I have no indication that my images included teenagers, In fact only word i have in there is "kids"....

it will make a difference if it affects you appearing in searches. Looking through my last month of AoA, i have search that specify RF and some that specify RM.

Tests so far, While you have a submission in QC, new submissions also go to "QC- holding pattern", once you get to All clear, straight through until your number comes up again for random QC

i'll make some tests, adding continent in field see if I get a hit

but then we will have debates from people who have issues differentiating geographically and geopolitically regarding Greenland (well until Uncle Donald buys it).... even Geographically a portion of Iceland is on the North American continental shelf,,, (yet, still part of Schengen Europe)

as i mentioned in my "other question" i searched an image in Bucharest, Romania, got 11 results. When i pick the Image filter "europe" all images disappear, even those with Bucharest, Romania in search, and even the ones with "europe" in KW
