Author Topic: new site for finding keywords for photos (Read 29293 times)

mahroch · « **on:** November 06, 2008, 11:47 »

Hi,
I read some post about keywording service. I liked the idea, but I had special wishes for that. So I created my own page for finding keywords to the images. I used it for a long time for my own purposes and recently my friend presuated me to put it online.

So I did, as you can find out at http://www.findphotokeywords.com/ the design is not the main goal. The features I really liked were:
- ordering the keywords from the most relevant to least
- using different languages for keywords
- final keyword string can be divided for Alamy de_script_ion (50 chars for essential keywords, 300 chars for main, ...)
- multiple searching for images
- remembering my preferencies
and others.

Before you consider this as spam you should k now that I have no money from the site, there are no ads and and I hope it will help people.

If you have any ideas how to improve it, I'm ready to implement them.

Maros

Great! I love it that the final keywords are NOT put alphabetically!

Awesome! Thank you for creating this website and sharing your tool with us!

Great tool and it shows how weird is IStock keywording system ;-)

SS and FT show mostly similar results. Is it possible to search all three combined? I searched for "big sur" so it gave me these keywords:

IS: California, Big Sur, Coastline, Cliff, Pacific Ocean, Scenics, Sea, Beach, Pacific Coast Highway, Rock, Landscape, Nature, Hill, Bridge, Monterey, Route 1, Mountain, USA, Water's Edge, Environment, Sky, Western USA, Vacations, Travel Destinations, Seascape, Journey, Travel, Summer, Non-Urban Scene

SS: big, ocean, coast, sur, california, pacific, usa, sea, cliff, coastline, rocky, nature, landscape, rocks, beach, water, waves, highway, state, hill, park, travel, mountain, west, scenic, tide, western, tourist, coastal, beautiful, romantic, shore

FT: coast, ocean, california, pacific, coastline, sur, beach, blue, big, wave, nature, view, rocks, shore, dramatic, central, big sur, sea, romantic, usa, rocky, tide, america, beautiful, coastal, water, state, colorful, mountain, pfeiffer, park, vacation, cliff, calm, travel, peaceful, landscape, scenic, rock, summer, natural, shoreline

I wish I could combine most popular tags from all three :-)

That's an excellent tool! I'll use it on my next batch - Many thanks! :-)

I'm glad that you like my page :-)

to melastmohican : technically it is possible. I though of that before. My first tests showed heavy traffic and most of the time I ended with timeout from the engines. That's why it is so far not allowed. I will work on it, but so far one by one ...

Right now I'm experiencin quite heavy traffic, after one month of public service maybe I will need to pay for exceeded traffic

to Anyka: alphabetical order: this was one of the things I didn't like on other sites. However I added the possibility to order keywords alphabetically (form on the right side), but I newer used it ;-) Especially Fotolia wants to have it in order of relevance, as well as Alamy and others.

Do you think that it would be helpfull to implement some more microstocks? Eg. dreamstime, bigstockphoto or any other?

Great job...thank you...now add a donation button to help pay for it...it's going to be very popular.

gaja · « **Reply #8 on:** November 06, 2008, 15:45 »

I love your tool, thank you for sharing it!
I would like to see an option to choose keywords from DT.

mahroch · « **Reply #9 on:** November 06, 2008, 15:46 »

I really would like to keep it free. It's doing a good job for me for free, so ...

However, if after some time I'll find out that I exceeded the traffic limit I will find solution.

Donation: as we say: if you like it, tell it to your friends. If you don't like it, tell it to your enemies :-)

mahroch · « **Reply #10 on:** November 06, 2008, 15:50 »

to gaja: Adding DT will take some time, but should be possible. Do you have any special reason why to add DT ? Maybe you just like DT - it would be OK :-)

when displaying the results, the 'unmark all' button doesn't seem to work in FF 3.0.3

leaf · « **Reply #12 on:** November 06, 2008, 16:14 »

another suggestion (i know everyone is full of suggestions when it isn't their own site

) ... make the whole box of the table clickable.. so it is easy clicking - you wouldn't have to be so accurate to click exactly just on the tick box.

mahroch · « **Reply #13 on:** November 06, 2008, 16:23 »

leaf : thanx for comments. any idea is considered well and if possible then implemented. However programmer skills have some limits :-)

I tried to implement the idea of clicking on the image, but so far unsuccesfully, but I do not give up.

Unmark all: I checked it out and unfortunatelly it is true. Neither does work Mark first 50 - I'll try to fix it, in IE it works OK.

Great tool. Keep up the awesome work. Looks like I have a new keywords tool to use now.

An I agree, you should put something like a donations button or at least some google adwords at the bottom. Just keep the ads out of the way and the tool will still be great. You should make something off the tool. You did a great job.

mahroch · « **Reply #15 on:** November 06, 2008, 16:38 »

to Brandon Seidel: well, I tried it locally, but it takes time to load google ads. And all of the time we need for search engine work. And as well I got crazy wainting till the ads are loaded ...

I will consider donation button at the last page - it is free choice to donate, nobody is annoyed by ads ...

Tomorrow, I go sleep, it is almost midnight over here in Europe ;-)

Great tool! Thank you.

No Longer Cares · « **Reply #17 on:** November 06, 2008, 16:45 »

You could put the ads in a small frame at the bottom so they do not keep reloading with the code. Then you could put some text for the related ads under it further down so it is hidden in the frame. Just a thought. Good work. Have a good night.

I also put a note in my new blog about it.

Nice job. Works really well. Thanks!

RT · « **Reply #19 on:** November 06, 2008, 17:48 »

That's very clever, I can see some people will be getting very upset though.

One thing I'm not quite sure about, in step 4 you write:

In case you wish to add some keywords, simply write them next to the last one in the area and lick the button after you are finished.

Won't that just leave a smudge mark on your screen

noam · « **Reply #20 on:** November 06, 2008, 18:07 »

It will be my new tool, great job, thanks a lot.

Nice work!

Nicely done, similar to photokeywors, but has more sites to choose from. Maybe you can add more image when you do a search, currently there's 30 which is not enough since many images don't relate to yours.

le_cyclope · « **Reply #23 on:** November 06, 2008, 22:14 »

Wow, very useful!

Thank you for sharing it!

Very good! And, BTW, I personally would not mind if you add some ads, and will click them if you do (though not too often to avoid you being accused in click fraud)
