spacecadet Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 56 is quite low and some of your keywording needs work, e.g. type of aircraft, species of tree including Linnaean name, location, that sort of thing. I'm not nea good example of sales success but most of mine have come from pretty specific searches. DJF462. Where is that? I'm pretty sure it's not some blokes on a building site in Dagenham. DJF4RN. Which national park? DJF4TE. Is that magnolia glauca or acuminata? You get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BqarbaraL Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Cheers "Spacecadet" I know I am no too good with keywords ... but I am learning .. "the hard way" ...

It's a right pain when you have 4000. Well, actually, it's not. I don't do it. Better right first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Well, Colin, if your nostalgia for the good ol' days gets too strong, perhaps it will help to remember the presence of polio and absence of penicillin back then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I know I am no too good with keywords Some thoughts, having looked at your pix... Maybe think of the caption as a complete sentence, rather than a collection of keywords For example, my caption for Eric Morecambe would be something like ‘Statue of Eric Morecambe on promenade, Morecambe, Lancashire, England UK’ The ‘seagull’ looks like a Herring Gull... ‘Gardner’ should be ‘gardener’ ‘Easy Jet’ should be ‘Easyjet’ ‘Morecambebay’ should be ‘Morecambe Bay’ Your Welsh mountains need names (from OS map) Girl on sofa, with dog... you include ‘no book’ in caption... Your keywords are the keys that either lock your pictures away from sight or open them up to buyers. Someone looking for a ‘gardener’ will never see your ‘gardner’ pix. Of course, you may be going for the dyslexic market. Just my two-pennorth. Not saying I'm right and you're wrong... just things to think about...

Don't want to say too much, but I'm convinced that one of my recent sales was partly as a result of a buyer not knowing how to spell a certain (commonly misspelled) word.
