Bigstock has started with a new 'spam free' feature on their site.  A single word cannot be used more than once in each of the title, keywords or description.  Well this is a good idea and all but it simply does not work for the description.

The problem:  Little words such as IS or AT or IN also fall victim to this rule, so if you want a description like

'A female sitting in front of the computer in the kitchen'

bigstock wouldn't accept this because the work IN is used twice.

or another example, if you wanted to write

'A large wheat field on the prairie, shallow depth of field is used with focus on the foreground'

PROBLEM - field is used twice...... daahhhhhh...

or

'bowling balls ready to be used in a retro bowling alley'

problem - bowling is used twice......

how did you override it?  I have had to delete the double words making incomplete sentences or leaving out part of the description.

a week ago you had to delete the words.  but yesterday I noticed you could override the warning.  Not sure how it will affect search ranking.  But because BigStock is that small for me, I don't bother.

I'm annoyed that BigStock insists on having 7 keywords - a lot of the time I only have 5, and have to add a couple as filler.

It's true. What is the problem whit "Colored pencils on white background", what I think is a good simple description. Don't think there is the need to elaborate more. If I search pictures, I don't search word, that is the search engine job.
