I guess it depends on your imagination. if you look carefully you could see almost all of this in the file
impressive work,looks like it has the whole context of an English dictionary as kw.

edit: btw no wonder he is very a creative person as you can see from his work.I don't think he needs to get that creative with keywording though as his work  is already excellent.

He could add banana, toast, razorblade, zebra, tulip, peacock, milk, cresanthemum.

Would make about as much sense as those already there

Such portfolios should be disabled....

wow how long did they spend keywording, or did they just copy and paste a dictionary?

Is there a list of most popular keywords somewhere? Maybe that's how they got such a varied list of keywords.

steve-oh:

I just noticed that this image still has loads of keywords that seem to be irrelevant to the image.

As a matter of fact, this image has over 300 keywords!

Isn't StockXpert going to do anything about this???

Sorry, must have missed this thread. I'll notify the review team.

Thanks!

OMG, uploaded Sept 25 and already 46 dls.   Maybe all those people looking for the keyword "garbage" or "ocean" or "technician" thought it was fabulous.  LOL. 

And still nothing has been done on this obvious spamming...
Patrick.

I think every site should have some kind of  inaccurate keywords reporting system.I know  IS has it but  I don't know if it really works there.I mean there should be system not just for the sake of it but a system that works  and  although it is not our job to do  but  many of us would volunteer reporting them when we come across one.
as for reporting this case has been really disappointing example even though it was publicly reported  yet no action has been taken.

When I started considering selling my images on microstock sites about two months ago, I read a few articles, in which people said how important it was to enter as much keywords as possible to every image.

So, finally, I can see what they meant 

...By the way - I checked and found out that it is possible to put keywords to your images additionally on SX, so maybe this is how these people do it: they attach a reasonable number of keywords to their images PRIOR TO the approval process, and add those dozens and dozens of inappropriate ones later...

I agree with sharply_ done,it's good to have the option to add or remove keywords after approval  and it doesn't have to be seen as an opportunity keyword spam (not referring to anyone)
