I just stumbled across this on Twitter ... post leading to Yuri Arcurs website. It mentions Lucky Oliver so is probably an old tool?

Looks interesting. Take it for a spin:

It is an old tool but sill very much functional, at least with the Shutterstock database. I use it for keywording of my images.

SS, LO or both. wich one u choose Wink

Why not update it?

Ps. Am I wrong? was there an option earlier where you could choose both? It´s not anymore.

I remember that too.

I guess that some agencies didn't like to amount of traffic the tool sucked or didn't want to encourage "keyword theft" and "keyword spamming" or the idea that too many people use the same keywords over and over again. Who knows.

Then why didn´t they remove LO at the same time ? It´s so popular, why not work on it a little?

Don't ask me, ask Yuri.

Since he doesn't earn money with the tool, I do understand that he sets different priorities... Cool

Sorry, It was just a question out in the open air. I am also grateful for this tool. I just think it´s a pity to not have it 100%.

I guess he easily could earn money on ads there. Must be thousand of hits every day..

I will have my programmer improve on it a little this summer. I promise. Remember. It is non-profit!
Server expenses are about 600 USD per year with the amount of user now using the service.

That´s good:) Thanks !

I still think you could have ads there. There are tons of foolish microstockers out there, clicking on everything Wink

Don't forget all the sales you lose in there by assisting your competition Wink

I think a couple of ads on the page wouldn't hurt. It would help pay for itself and any improvements.

I used picniche keywording tool the other day and threw everything out but 2. I keep more of the keywords when I use Yuri's. It is more accurate.

I agree, the picniche tool needs a little work. The Yuri tool takes a little more time but yields better results.

Hi there -

Funny one the keywording tool. For those with English as a second language it's great. For those who are pushed for time - it's great. For anyone else, it's a good start, problem being you end up with the same keywords as everyone else if you rely totally on it.

I would suggest using the tool, but spending some time thinking about other keywords as well.

The way the keywords are arranged when you are finished is convenient for cut and paste, but beware if you upload them in the same order to sites like Fotolia where keyword order matters.

Just a thought

Old hand

I usually write about ten or more of my own keywords and then see what it suggests to fill in another 10-20

Hi!,
I've created this tool to assist myself in keywording. Just want to share it with you all.

cheers,

Good stuff. I have used Yuri's tool for keywording for a while. Tried the other tool http://www.findphotokeywords.com/ but this one seems to be easier to use.

Hey Karen & Travis

Just wondering if you could elaborate a little for me please on the picNiche keywording?

Were there not enough keywords, or were they inaccurate?
Did refining the query help or hinder your desired results?
Was it something else, UI, ordering, etc?

Any feedback is hugely appreciated Cheesy

It's really slow (as my server is pretty awful for now Sad

but working on that too

Thanks

** Not sure where to put this response as it probably shouldn't be in this thread :/ if you feel it should be somewhere else Leaf please move it

Thanks

Hey Bob,

I tried the picNiche keyword tool with the word "apple" and these were the results:

apple, fruit, green, health, diet, fruits, red, abstract, food, healthy, background, woman, vegetable, autumn, girl, color, christmas, isolated, orange, beauty, white, concept, apples, colorful, cornucopia, nature, water, art, vitamin, graphic, summer, sweet, nutrition, wallpaper, pop, city, fall, business, reflection, shape, pattern,

Of these results I feel only maybe ten are relevant to the image I had in my head. If I were to use Yuri's tool I could select a handful of images that were similar to mine and then easily select the images I want to use and have them all compiled in a comma separated list.

Hope this helps.
