This keywords like this is OK? for SS. :o
I will do this Coz can more than 50 words.

So I see in only one guy to do this and his image going POPULAR a lot! ::)

I believe it is allowed. I am not sure how well it works as apparently very few buyers search for combination keywords (using ""). There was a big study looking into it a few years ago, when Yuri releases his keywording tool I think. What matters I guess is if words in the combined keyword phrases also get a boost in searches containing the same word/s outside of speechmarks or by themselves. I don't know the answer to that, but if it does lend the individual words extra weighting everyone needs to rethink how they keyword I guess!

up^ THANKS :)

This is spam, pure and simple. It should never have been approved with these keywords - not because the keywords are multi-word or complex, but because most of them have nothing whatever to do with the image. This contributor's portfolio is awash in spam of this sort. Nothing wrong with the images, just the metadata.
Here's the image in question

Even if you ignore the borderline keywords, these are just not applicatble: attack, clinical cure, crm customer relationship management, donate donation charity, foster home, fundraising charity, medical assurance, pediatric doctor, school education, sick survivor people, single mom.
This one (same contributor) is just as bad

Spam: biotechnology engineering, car automobile vehicle accident, child adoption week, city society development, creating creation, ecology technology, foster care, international day of prayer and acttion for human habitat, parent finance saving, rich poor conceptual idea
This contributor has a piece of woven fabric as a texture with the keywords manuscript and clothes line. An isolated white canvas bag with the keywords agriculture and wall paper. White jigsaw pieces with keywords startup business, office and children.
I can't see how any of this spam can help (who searches for world thinking day?), but for heavens sake don't copy this rubbish

Sorry, I didn't even read through the list. I thought it was a general question about using keyword phrases. Yes if they are not relevant to image it is not allowed.
-
Total spam and should be rejected. My guess would be that those keywords were never even approved but were edited after the fact.
-
The biggest pile of steaming horse apples I ever saw.

I guess I have to respectfully disagree that these keywords should be considered spam. When I think of someone typing in these phrases to the search engine, I think this could easily be the type of image they are looking for. The concept relates in some way to just about all the keywords in my opinion. Well thought out phrases to make an image stretch to all it's potential topics.

Phrases are fine, but this kind of spam is nothing to do with the image of the hands and house with a car.
"Spam: biotechnology engineering, car automobile vehicle accident, child adoption week, city society development, creating creation, ecology technology, foster care, international day of prayer and acttion for human habitat, parent finance saving, rich poor conceptual idea"
No biotech, no engineering, no accident, what does a house and hands have to do with adoption, society development no way, creating creation has no relationship, no ecology technology anywhere, foster care because it's a house, day of prayer hands are not praying, human habitat it is a house, no parent finannce nothing in the photo, rich poor is where?
Total spam and misrepresentation trying to get view. The closest words are a terrible stretch and not concept that has anything to do with this shot. All agencies should close accounts for this kind of spam.
Phrases are a good idea. Bad irrelevent phrases to get more words in should be puniushed.
