Title: keywords issues in veer
Post by: mtkang on January 26, 2012, 07:36
Hi All,

I think keywords issue in veer had been raised before.. I wonder what one should do..

It seems the system will turn the keywords into a 'search term' and sometimes critical keywords are lost. For example i have an image which i had put 'social' 'networking', and the social keywords is lost at the final results.

how you guys do with the keywords in veer? i usually just submit without adding keywords with their system.

it is a serious problem because picture buyers may not able to find some pictures, and some pictures will never end up as correct search results.

hey mtkang I had similar issues a while ago that I asked their support team about.  For instance, I had images of a kangaroo which ended up without the keyword kangaroo! The response was though, that their system will still have that keyword behind the scenes, but displayed will be a more specific keyword in that category if your IPTC data included one. EG: also in my list of IPTC keywords was the word 'joey' - so joey got displayed on the site as it was more specific than kangaroo, however kangaroo still remains (unseen) as a searchable term.

Hope that helps :)

Hi THP, but will your images come out under the search of kangaroo?

I had tried to search with the related keyword, my image doesn't appear in the results.

Yes they do show up under Kangaroo. It worried me for a while, but understanding that at least it still worked eased my mind.

It's a worry though that yours don't even show up? Have you tried it for a few images? I would email Veer support, they got back to me about my issue within a few days from memory.

Sorry I can't be of more help
