Ed Rooney Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 After all that anxious bouncing around this morning, I've landed in a stronger placement position. The snow leopard is the most beautiful predator on Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchiquin Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 What I've noticed is this High BHZ brings bliss a zoom deserves a swig of ale but nothing beats a sale But sales are thin on the ground Not enough to go around So if you need a bit of cheer Just become a BHZ-er. (Rhyme doesn't work in the UK). Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskerke Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I don't think you can say it definitely hasn't been imported as a supertag. A supertag / essential keyword has to be selected deliberately. It doesn't land there by accident. If that skull picture has "molehill" as a supertag, than that's surely a case of very deliberate spamming. Therefore, I believe that picture has molehill only as a simple tag. B.t.w. my picture has mole molehill in the caption and as supertags as well as individual tags as well as phrases (what more can I do? ) mole molehill "mole molehill" (as an experiment) "molehill mole" (as an experiment) .... and still an image with the tags animal, british, burrow (???), common, cutout, digging (???), europaea, familiar, garden (???), gardens (???), hill (???), mammal, mammals, mole, molehill (???), skull, subterranean, talpa, tunnel (???) surpasses mine and all those other relevant pictures (with molehill in the caption and as supertag). Understand who can What's the meaning of supertags? What's the meaning of proximity / phrases? What's the meaning of a searchable caption? What's the meaning of CTR and ranking? Alamy, please explain? Cheers, Philippe Aren't you missing the obvious? Sales. Why not try all these keywords like: Mole skull, Talpa europaea, animal, british, burrow, common, digging, familiar, garden, gardens, hill, mammal, mammals, mole, molehill, subterranean, tunnel, Apply them exactly like this on a mole image of your own. And see whether it overtakes the skull? Btw I'm not reading any keyword spam in there, just the use of the hierarchical keywording tool in LR or similar. Which can be a bit overzealous. How many searches have there been for %mole%hill% ? mole hill 3 fixing mole hill 1 mole hill border 1 moles hills 1 mole hills 1 molehills 1 mole hill garden 1 mole hill in garden 1 patching mole hill 1 Or %animal%skull% ? animal skull 2 animal skull black 1 A keyword is worth a thousand pictures puzzles. ;-) wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the tags I placed in red (see my previous reply) are ....... R E L E V A N T ? Cheers, Philipe Maybe I should have clarified that spam imo means something deliberate. My guess is that it's just the way some agencies and contributors are using hierarchical keywording tools. Following the outdated advice of many professionals and specialists and the example of many agencies who do the keywording for their contributors. As for the keywords: it's just a test. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Eigh up, lads and lasses, we're back to the pre-December search ranking this morning. My BHZ images are back in their old familiar slots. For the moment at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It had better not stay as it is. I've changed a lot of my better images to fit in with the new system, so if things change back again now, I'll have to re-do everything YET AGAIN and do yet more pseudo-swapping. Are Alamy TRYING to wind us up? Goodness knows how many times I've re-keyworded thanks to either mis-information in Alamy's original guidelines (quotes and brackets that never did anything), plus various other issues. Now the mess of the new MI that's close to impossible to use when it comes to legacy images (fine with new ones). Geoff. This is why I'm hardly doing anything until things have settled down a bit.

spacecadet Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I bailed out on it after the last discussion of its (ir)relevance. OP, it was a purported way of working out how your images ranked by including a search term in your keywording of one image that couldn't possibly affect rank because it would never be searched on. The term was "bhz". I say "purported" because it was always of doubtful usefulness. My sales went up and up and my bhz image stayed more or less where it was for years. With a port the size of yours it would never have told you anything anyway. It is an ex-parrot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
