Title: Fotolia Country
Post by: technicalproblem on December 17, 2017, 03:50
Does anyone know what's the meaning of field "Country" in Fotolia?

Except for architectural and street photography - and events, but they don't accept editorial - it means nothing in most cases.

Is it indexed?
Is it used to show different results to different buyers based on their country?

I used to think that my sales would be better if I put some western country, never tried it thou and I really don't know what it means. Maybe acts like an additional invisible keyword when strictly searched.
I read somewhere, on 123RF or DT, don't remember, that it helps buyers find photos relevant to their country, for instance if a buyer is looking for an isolated hairdryer the search will come up with hairdryers with wall plug relevant to buyer's country. Something like that.

I always put USA if nothing else is more appropriate. God bless America... and all who sail in her.
