Title: Bizarre keywords used to buy your images.
Post by: Whiz on March 06, 2008, 10:37

Today, a buyer used the word "algae" to find a picture of a granola bar that I uploaded a couple of months ago. What odd keywords have buyers used to find your images?

It has happened to me a few times too. I suppose that was a possbile reason - when a buyer was searching for certain image in his mind, he simply found something else interesting on the same page.

Exactly. But also, the last keywords a buyer used is always effective. So if the buyer take a look on the forum or many other things, and finally look at your profile. The last keywords can be wrong in some situation as I understand it

Yes, sometimes very funny. I got this one today of African elephants:

downloaded with the phase/keywords: "girls legs wearing long socks thumb" :D

Now how on earth did the person arrive at the elephants?

The search term for this one was "evolution"

I can see the connection between evolution and fish but evolution and breaded fish with peas and coleslaw?  :-\ I guess s/he got hungry.
