Title: Tagging - does order matter?
Post by: Tomasz86 on April 16, 2015, 12:23
Hello,

I am a newbie to the group so sorry if I ask the oldest question but does the order in which you put your tags matter for the search engines?

Thank you.

Alamy -  yes   Shutterstock - no    so if you upload them in your preferred order you can't go wrong.  Also try and put as many of you keywords in your descriptions and tittles.

Some seem to re-order keyword tags alphabetically as well which is not helpful...

Alamy seem to have reverted. For a while I wasn't seeing too much of the old 'office party' search hit which was the head office of a political party, but recently I've had similar mismatches, of which I offer two as examples:

'George Ferguson' - returned the Adam Ferguson Building (Ess) in George Square (Main) Edinburgh.

'George MacDonald' - returned Lesley MacDonald (Ess) in George Square (Comp), Glasgow.

How much the caption is influencing the search results, I couldn't say.

I tend to reorder things only for iStock through Deepmeta (occasionally)

As others have indicated it depends from agency to agency: iStock - yes; 123RF - no; Fotolia - yes
