Keyword sorting on Deposit Photos

(1/3) > >>

I just uploaded about 200 additional images to Deposit Photos. I stick with the site because it was (traditionally) pretty easy to upload to, but I see that they now want us to sort the keywords to show the three main keywords, then 4 secondary keywords and then the rest. For those of us who use Lightroom for keywording, this is a lot of work, as the keywords are exported in alphabetic order. It has made me really question why I am bothering uploading all these images and then spending time on each one to sort out the keyword order as well.

Any comments from the site owners on this change? Are we supposed to go back and edit the keywords on all previous uploads to align with this new approach?

Alamy does the same thing. I'm interested what others have to say.

fljac:
Agree...  It's really annoyin when we have to do that.. I too have often wondered just how much impact the sort order really has for the search engines.. ?

It would be nice to hear what the site repręsentative can say about that..  Depositphotos is a nice site to upload images at, but this tiny detail is some-what annoying  8)

Makes me glad I don't use Lightroom.  I've been keywording with Graphic Converter for the Mac, which leaves my keywords in the order I specify.  As long as I put the most relevant words at the front of the list, this change won't slow me down.  That's a big deal, since my results on Deposit don't justify a lot of effort.

Finally! Linear keywording doesn't work in a set of 1M+ images. No site (except CanStockPhoto for a short time) dared to tackle it. Since 2006, I'm keywording in the order of relevance, in the hope the sites would come to their senses. I wrote a script for that: one-click sorting. Still in vain... Great DP realized it.
