Shutterstock.com / Annoying use of Keywords!!
« on: April 25, 2007, 21:34 »
Hi All,
I know you can submit bad keywords at SS for review but i am not sure whether i am being picky or not? These example are probably borderline but i just find them highly annoying for some reason.
If you search for the word Bee or Bees ordered by most popular you get lots of flowers with not a bee in sight (lots of sunflower images seem to have this). I know you can associate a flower with a bee but clearly if some is searching for a photo of a bee they dont want a flower without a bee near it. I know its not a big deal but i just find it annoying.
Also If you search for communications tower you get copious amounts of heavy duty power lines. I know you can send data through power lines but really i dont see how you can use the keyword communications.
I may not be the best keyworder but i try to check that they are relavent to the image. I admit that i copy keyword from my other images and use them for similar images but i always recheck them.
Any thoughts? any more examples annoying usage of keywords?

. I posted twice in the thread but no one has been able to help me out. so if anyone has the xpi extension file and wouldn't mind emailing or linking me to it, I would really appreciate it. might stop me checking my stats all the time.
