to Valaaami: yes, unless you they allow you to do it. But you are right and I will deal with it.

As well many people think that I do it for profit and I really don't need to argue or proof the truth. I wanted to do it as helpful service, but for me there is no reason to put more energy to something that I need every day fight for.

Anyway - most probably the costs will be not covered from the paid searches so the decision is made even easier.

That's why in next days I will close the page for public. Sorry. Active registered members with active deposit can expect special offers for handling the situation.

Thank to all for support.

I would absolutely miss the site if it would close down!

Especially for us whose native language is not English, a site like this is a real help.  For keywording, certainly, but it also enlarges my vocabulary.
If no sites like this existed, I would do the searching manually, so you can call me a keyword-thief also, only a private one.  I never copy all keywords of a specific image, because then there's a big chance I would copy irrelevant words, but I do pick up unknown words.
(example :  pictures of snails :  slug??? I never heard of that word before)

Is it really so?  I think it's exagerated to consider keywords an "intellectual property" or call Maros' tool "stealing keywords".  I agree however that it doesn't look fair to do this for a charge.  A donation system sounds more correct.

See what happens when you try and help people.

How dare you!

I wouldn't be surprised if someone now sues you for taking the site down.
