June 14, 2020 The newly-formed Stock Coalition, an industry body representing global photographers, illustrators, animators, videographers and other artists who contribute their work to agencies for distribution, has joined the call for a global shutdown of Shutterstock portfolios from 15 - 21 June, after the New York-based agency cut contributor compensation to as low as $0.10 per download.

General Stock Discussion / Re: More or fewer keywords

Another thing which I didn't see being mentioned here is that on Adobestock for example the maximum keywords you can insert is 50, however it's advisable to use maximum only 49, other way the keywords won't get weighted separately (the first few being more important) but every single one of them gets the fraction of the "total sum" equally.
Only 49 keywords. ??? How do you know that? Can I read these instructions somewhere?

The more relevant keywords the better. Because you actually have no idea what words different customers use for searching. On iStock you can see which keywords are used most often to find each image by looking at the keywords order on their individual landing page. Clearly that website runs A/B testing on each keyword and see if it leads to click throughs.
Where do you see keywords order? Can you show me a screenshot?  I find Related Searches useful on Dreamstime. I can see that iStock has this option too.

I should be more specific. I don't know what search algorithms agencies use? If I select for the same image 10 keywords vs. 50 keywords with the same searching term "warning sign". Would the first image be preferred by the search algorithms over the second which has more keywords? :o

What is better, to have more or fewer keywords? Some microstock agencies suggest having fewer keywords, which helps in image discoverability. Or is it that only advantage for buyers? Is there anyone who uses only some keywords? ???
