I can only say that as a buyer I HATE SPAM because it is a massive waste of my time and feels like cheating to me.
I'm with you hoi ha 100%, if I'm looking for a photo of a cow, that's what I spec to find in my search as a buyer..
FlemishD, doesn't Fotolia limit it to 7 keywords ? and going with what you said about girl.. attractive... and NUDE ! that's a favourite one. even for not so nude ones.
Flemish, I can understand your point, and your very correct, but I think that when you have the time to visually go shopping, is fine to get out of your shopping list and buy something that was not your intention to buy in the first place (just because it caught your eye) I've done it a million times myself, but when you're on a deadline for a project, I find nothing more frustrating and aggravating that having to go thru 5+ pages of unrelated products (pictures) before you can actually get to what you're looking for...
I guess without having the Istock CV, the Alamy example is great. Can only add 50 charachters for the best relevent words and then sub keywords. But there's so many ways to avoid spam. Like the Dreamstime title and description method
Alamy maybe, but last time i looked IStock is not "godly" either.try looking for "necktie" at Istock and see what you get. rabbis, business people, objects, ...for the first few pages. no necktie as in isolated . not until quite a few pages.
An oldtimer once told me "If you have nothing productive to say, say nothing"
