Poor Keywording from A Buyers Point of View

[Jill Morgan]

I have been searching for dog images to add to products that I make.  I have searched on many sites including Alamy, and boy, the frustration of poorly keyworded images where:

 

• People include a pile of breeds of dogs even when only one dog is in the image
• People obviously don't know their breeds and have named them incorrectly  Get lots of images of Bichon Frise when searching for poodle.

 

It's very frustrating folks.  Please don't add keywords that don't belong, and be sure to label whatever it is by the correct name.  Do your research, don't guess.  Think of those Bichon Frise images I won't see when I go searching for Bichon Frise because those photographers thought it was a poodle.

Sound advice. Keywording is tedious, but important.

This is something that Arterra used to point out, and he's absolutely right. It looks so unprofessional to have incorrectly labelled images.
