Allan Bell Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 One of the searches yesterday was for "Lincoln Cathedral (pt)" - I've got several on the system, yet only one was returned in the search, so I looked into what I'd typed - seems that in the essential keywords I'd not put Lincoln, as I thought it would be picked up by location - goes to show, no matter what you could get a machine to do for you the blindingly obvious matters. Martin www.windmillskies.com Hi Martin, Alamy dropped the location from the search engine some time ago. At that time we were advised to put location in the remaining searchable panels. I enter location in the description. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Brooks Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I always put location in the low priority other keywords section, even if the location has nothing to do with the subject of the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also enter location in "Main and Comp" fields. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 If key wording was all done by software we would be unable to differentiate ourselves from our peers. Furthermore buyers may want an image with a particular nuanced interpretation which software is unlikely to pick up on. I also wash up by hand - I hand it to the dishwasher and hand it to the cupboard when clean. It's a hard life isn't it. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 If it's as good as Google Translate it will at least be good for a few laughs. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
