Why is my adobe sales almost nothing?
Very tragic news, my adobe has uploaded 1200 pictures, but almost no download, why? Everyone said that adobe is very good, why don't I think? :'(

I have no idea what "very good" means to you for Shutterstock sales, but I think your main problem on Adobe Stock is probably keywords. The few I checked were pretty bad - not descriptive of what's in the image; repetitive - horse is shown twice for this image of a pig in a dress; not ordered so the first 7 keywords are the most important.

Keywords on the above are:

horse animal grass farm pasture horse meadow nature field mare animal grazing green summer white foal mammal black brown equine rural pony fast horse beautiful domestic

Assuming for the sake of argument that someone was looking for a pig in a dress in a field, your keywords would not help them find this image.

Edited to add that I looked at another from the above series and the keywords were different, but equally bad:

dog animal grass pet green puppy sheep horse canino white meadow nature farm mammal cute animal field young grazing pasture outdoors agriculture weimaraner dog black

Possibly not a huge demand for pigs in dresses either.

I am going to be blunt here- your still life images are just dump on table and shoot.  Flowers - nothing that's really amazing which you will need to compete with the other million images. People on white - just changing the angle differently to get more volume will not cut it anymore.  Overall, nothing really to offer the buyers that isn't already in the 200 millions images... 8)

You won't sell flower photos, even if much better,  if they're not properly identified. Putting random flower names in just won't cut it.

Just because you did not fill them out yourself does not mean you are not allowed to (a) modify their suggestions or (b) enter your own.

You asked why your images aren't selling. If you care about sales, keyword images yourself and store those in the metadata of your image files. If your English isn't good then you'll have to hire a keywording service or take your chances with Google translate.

On the issue of the quality of automated keyword suggestions: If those keywords came from Adobe's keywording hints then they need to improve the software - even considering the rather unusual subject, having horse three times should be a firing offense. Not to mention offering multiple different animal keywords when there's only one animal in the picture.

Your keywording is terrible. That's why.

If you're using Adobe's automatic keywording, you're destine to make nothing at Adobe Stock.

best to look out for another profession with such inaccurate feedback, or are you just trolling
