Hi--Question about how istock search works. We can't use any keyword we want in istock and some words--like the name of a city or a road--are not offered. But I've noticed if you use those words in the title and/or description, the image will appear in a search.
Though, Getty explicitly says otherwise: "Keywords help customers find your content. The Title and Description help customers understand the context of your work, but do not help with search. Customers use the Title and Description for accurate and relevant insight into what they are seeing." (from Getty's "Keywording Guide")
So, what is the truth? Are search terms drawn from keywords AND the description? or from keywords and the Title? or from all three, keywords, the description and the title?
Thanks!
