Title: New Feature - Suggested Keywords?
Post by: THP Creative on November 28, 2012, 21:09
Just uploaded some new files, and found that on the Submit Images page each image now has a box underneath it for Suggested Keywords and a little button to copy them into your file.

New feature? Although the box didn't have a single keyword in it for any of my 40 images, so perhaps it's still in testing?

I guess it could be a good feature, although it would be useful to know how they are getting the suggested keywords.

I suspect that may be what they are working on here.

Huh, interesting. So does everyone else see the box, but without functionality? Cos I didn't leave my name in the forum to get signed up.

Thanks for the link w7lwi :)

Agreed interesting idea. I see the blank boxes as well.

Do you think this will help improve keywording? Or will it encourage spamming as many keywords into a file as possible?

Personally I am sort of moving away from maxing out keywords, generally I think it seems to work better for the 'relevancy' type searches to have less than the 50 keyword max.

Not saying its a bad idea BTW, just wondering what the effects of this idea will be.

I doubt the keyword spamming on SS couldn't get any worse,
 though I will probably be proved wrong.

Canstock has a feature like this but I rarely use it because it is one of the last agencies I upload to.
