Saw this and thought it might be useful...thousands of searches on Dreamstime and Pond5, and the number of images found for each search

Wow thanks for thinking of us, and your first post too!

Does the list also tell us how many times each search has been made?

However, If I search for "lazers" only 24 pics are tagged.  This is a niche you can dominate.

Is that the niche of spelling mistakes?  ;D

In sites where it's possible, it's smart to include common spelling mistakes, especially if the site doesn't offer any sensible alternatives to the typo/mistake. Also alternate US/English spellings.

Because it is not a niche if you use the correct spelling: http://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/laser.html

So?  The idea is to avoid tags with thousands of results.  If you can find meaningful tags which lead to only a handful of images then you're laughing

I agree about alternate spellings. But arent you usually against keyword spamming?

But "lazers" is not meaningful! If you just make up words there are plenty of "niches" with 0 results...

It is meaningful to the person who typed it into the search box....remember these are real searches, not made up words.  They may be typos or alternate spellings, but that is what these people were searching for.

Why can't you just honestly say that this is your product rather than coming on here pretending you stumbled across it. Especially when it is on that den of thieves, fiverr?

It's infuriating.

Worthless - correct spelling.

All sites generally have terms that prohibit this kind of thing:
"You may not ... use any data mining, robots or similar data gathering and extraction tools on or at the Website or use any other automated means to access the Website;"

Spam is putting pear on a photo of an isolated apple, thereby polluting searches on 'pear'.Putting lazer as an alternative spelling isn't spam as there us no real 'lazer' search to be polluted.  Presumably someone searching for lazer is actually looking for laser images.
