Thank you very much for this. I'd also suggest you to put some adds on site or maybe add a donation button, if not more at least for hosting and domain to pay.

I used to learn some programming, but I could never put something like that together. So thank you again and I hope you will spread joy among stock photographers for long time!

It´s nice, but i prefer this one. http://arcurs.com/keywording/

mahroch · « **Reply #27 on:** November 07, 2008, 05:05 »

to RH: no problem, you can use whatever you like

as I wrote in my first post, I did mine one because I didn't like some of the features of other sites. For sure others did on their pages good job (especially Yuri Arcurs with all his experience with microstock business), but I needed something different, so I wrote my own search engine ...

That LuckyOliver search must come in handy

The forced /automated alphabetically sorting of photokeywords was my main issue with that site, so i agree this is an improvement. The different languages is also a very nice option photokeywords doesn't have. But there are still some things that are little better resolved at photokeywords like thumbnailclicking , more thumbnails viewable, Retrival count out of more then 5 mil searches display, better and more clearly arranged results-display etc.
So it would be nice if you would continue the developing of the site

Great tool and very nice work. I agree that you should put a Donate and/or ads to pay for the traffic this tool will generate.

mahroch · « **Reply #31 on:** November 07, 2008, 07:16 »

Hallo everybody,

many thanx for your support.

As we spoke above I added the donation buttons for Paypal and Moneybrookers to the last page (final list of keywords). As well I added small google ad to that page. If you feel so, please use it.

Other main changes I did in meantime:
- thumbnail clicking method - now you can click the image and the checkbox will be marked / unmarked
- defualt number of showed image was changed to 40
- corrected some spelling errors ( now you don't need to "lick" the buttons ;-)
- corrected some small bug in remembering user preferences

I still work on the Unmark all function in FF 3.0 but so far unsuccesfully

Thanx for posting your comments - I will do my best to make it more useful for you.

M.

As I promised before, I added the search engine for new microstock photobank - DREAMSTIME.

Enjoy

PS: I want to thank to Noam for his donation - the first and only :-)

Thanks for the hard work.

It would be nice if a person could choose images from multiple pages. Sometimes 60 images just aren't enough.

mahroch · « **Reply #34 on:** November 10, 2008, 13:49 »

Just an idea: if 60 images is not enough, isn't it a time to specify more the search query ? as well you can pick some images, remember them by clicking to that specific link and search again and possibly be more accurate ...and finally get keywords from all your searches ... you just have to keep in mind that too much images selected (let's say more than 15) could case the timeout of the script ...

I will think of any technical solution of more pages. So far I know that dreamstime offers 80 images on one page so that may be a start point ...

However - now the page traffic is 2 times bigger than on any other of my quite active webpages, which means that if I will find the solution for more images in the same time I will have to start to think about covering the traffic ...

I did small change on the separating words for Alamy, because I surprisingly realized that Alamy expects the words separated by space, not comma or other symbol. As well they accept quotation marks for keywords made of more words etc. The work on this didn't finish, I want to implement some more things, but the basic is done.

I've been using the Arcurs one, but this one looks a whole load better. I'm going to switch.

Thanks for setting it up, a really great facility.

The only addition I'd suggest is the option of adding your own keywords (as in the Arcurs one) and the program removing any duplicates.

But, apart from that, it's great!

Thanks

mahroch · « **Reply #38 on:** November 11, 2008, 14:59 »

I understand, add the keyword you can do simply by writing it to the text field - it is possible. As I got it this solution miss the function of checking duplications if any of your added keywords is already entered.

It is no problem to add the Add keyword input field. I'll do it in next days.

Yeah all experience are good but now i am satisfaded with free keywording service on Pixmac.com [nofollow] which write keywording for free. But on Istock [nofollow] i will sell more photos.

CofkoCof · « **Reply #41 on:** November 20, 2008, 13:02 »

Currently you can only search keywords from SS?

mahroch · « **Reply #42 on:** November 20, 2008, 13:08 »

to CofkoCof : you should be able to search :
- shutterstock
- dreamstime
- fotolia
- istockphoto

Do you experience any problems seeing all four of them?

using the "[Remove all my preferencies and selected images]" -link should resolve your problem

mahroch · « **Reply #44 on:** November 20, 2008, 13:39 »

ahh that's true .. this small feature could do it ... if not, just write here. Maybe you have really found a bug ...

Yeah I've figured it out.

Dook · « **Reply #46 on:** December 20, 2008, 15:01 »

Your tool is great, thank you.
Only one question: What is the method you use to calculate most popular(relevant) keywords, how you make this order? And what do these numbers (in the row USED) mean? I mean, it is really great, but how?
THank you!

mahroch · « **Reply #47 on:** December 21, 2008, 04:19 »

To Dook: it is simple - if you search eg. for word dog, you will get different images of dogs. So you pick some images of dogs - let's say 5 images. The system then goes through all the keywords of all 5 images and uses them for calculations. It is obvious that 5 of them will have in the keywords word DOG, let's say 3 of them ANIMAL, and let's say 2 of them PET. So the 'uses' means how often is the word used among all keywords of picked images. Clear now?

If you propone any other method for calculations I can implement it in the new - almost done - version, that will be able to search in multiple microstocks, will have more options for final keywords lits, ... etc. It will be my X-mass surprise but so far needs some more time to be finished :-)
