7 keywords max ?
this is the opposite of what some other sites in the Big 6 advise you.

i remember reading the photographer's handbook or whatnot and they give an example of how to choose your keywords,
and if i am not mistaken, there were a lot more than seven.

so, my question to you chode is:
are you only referring to fotolia on this matter?

FT dont advise you to use 7 max, it is just my own (anf few other people) theory. It might not be correct. I also have few images on first pages with 13-15 keywords, so it does not support that theory, but mostly, images with less keywords (not always 7) will come first. Not always, but often. Once again, it is just a unproven theroy, not an official information.
