Maybe I'm mixing something up, but I thought that you need to categorize your images at pond5 (I submit to lots of websites).
I believe to remember that I had to categorize my images, but I can't find that field during submission. I keep lists of all categories for each website locally on my PC so I wonder whenever I wrongly renamed my list as "pond5". I used those lists with a tool I have written for myself and I don't want to keep categorizing if I don't need to.
Here is the list:
"abstract", "aerials", "alpha channel / greenscreen", "archival", "animation", "animals / wildlife", "backgrounds", "buildings and monuments", "business / commerce", "celebrities / paparrazi", "church and ministry", "crowds", "clouds", "concepts", "elements and effects", "explosions", "fire", "food and drink", "globes", "health and beauty", "holidays / celebrations", "industry", "lifestyle / people", "lower thirds", "loops / vj", "medicine", "military", "music related", "nature scenics", "news / documentary", "politics", "retro", "science", "slow motion", "sports", "stereoscopic 3d", "technology", "textures", "timelapse", "transportation", "travel", "underwater", "cities / urban scenics", "verticals", "virtual sets", "transitions and wipes", "weddings"
Is or was this Pond5? Any idea which other website this could be? Can I throw that away? Google search wasn't very helpful.

I don't recall ever putting categories in at P5, but I could have easily missed part of their submission process.
-
Those categories are for video.
I don't think they have categories for photos.
-
Sounds like Pond5. When they redesigned the site the got rid of categories.

Yay!!
I wish Fotolia and Istock did the same ;) Categories are plain horrible there.

It takes up time and buyers rarely use them or agencies could retrieve categories out of keywords...
