Title: South Dakota !?
Post by: Stu49 on January 26, 2010, 11:03
Just had a submission to iStock declined, it says :

We regret to inform you that we cannot accept your submission, entitled USB Card Reader - with SD fitted

The following keywords used for this file do not appear to be fully relevant to the subject.
{[  South Dakota ]}

Entering "sd" when keywording probably disambiguates to South Dakota.  You should be sure to check all the DA choices before submitting.

You really have to be careful with keywording and iStock. If there is a keyword in there they don't feel pertains to the image they will reject the image.

Good for you. Did you make a request to add the keyword?? I'm assuming you did since they added it

NO !!  I put 'SD',  they changed it to 'South Dakota',  then refused it because that 'Key Phrase' didn't fit the image !

Idiots !!  ;)

Whoops misunderstood that. I thought you were saying they had added it to THIER keyword database. I guess like sjlocke said they probably associate that with South Dakota because of its abbreviation
