Phil Robinson Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 1 hour ago, John Mitchell said: That makes sense. I've been doing the same with some of my latest images. The downside to all of this is that it's going to mean spending a lot more time on tagging. BTW, are we getting paid extra for this? You don't get paid extra for it - but you get paid less if you don't do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MircoV Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Anyway....what i learned is that we should really take extra care with keywording anc captions. Something that i didnt do in the past :(. My newest images are getting all the keywords they deserve and older ones will be corrected. Like the Dutch say it is like hitting few flies in one hit. If you keyword them right in the Alamy Image Manager your are not only sure that they will appear on the rights searches in Alamy but also in all the 80 Distributors and off course the Google and Bing searches.

It's purely a numbers game so don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I have exactly NO green images, yet I have regular sales. Adding irrelative tags will not help your sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said this before, but the disco bar feels to me like Alamy trying to get a bit of social media credibility. I can't imagine how anyone thought that a tool that is just based on the number of keywords was a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
