Sally_131513 Senior Member artist Posts: 422	card keyword removed Oct 18^th, 2010, 10:00am This card was approved but keyword friend was removed cause they say it doesn't apply or is not something or other. Hmmm curious... 700140 I don't know how to link it here. Sal

Well, that is a conundrum isn't it Grin

If it were me, I would reply back to the same email and inquire as to why saying Good Friend on the inside does not allow the word friend in the keyword...although you haven't told us what category(s) it was approved for. If it is NOT in a holiday card for friend category, then that is probably why.

I was told by the reviewer that the card had to have that specific word on the front! I had mine on the inside too......but it was sent back, and I was told to choose another category or add the word to the front of the card! Doubt that makes you feel any better though! Cynthia

Hi Sally

I love your card

Being on GCU is training me to think differently and I am learning to be very literal in regard to my cards. I ask myself does it directly reference friend on the front or am I suggesting what it could be used for.
Is your card appropriate for a friend, I think so, but I guess GCU views it as if someone is looking for a card for a friend they want friend on the front.
I think it's worth an email clarification to the review team.

Also you don't have Christmas in your keywords? Was that nixed too? Huh

And Judith...your cards were so worth waiting for, great cards

Pamela,
I've been under the impression that when a card is put into a category, i.e., Christmas>Whatever, that the [major/primary] category selection serves as a keyword...am I mistaken? On my Christmas cards, I add Xmas as a keyword, but not Christmas..........hmmmmmmmmmmm.........guess I need to take a refresher course in tagging..........or at least revisit the info

I was under the impression that what you put in your keywords and Title are what the search engines 'search' Doreen, If you are there am I right in my assumption re the search engines? Pamela

Doreen, If you are there kiss

am I right in my assumption re the search engines?

Pamela

Sorry Pamela...out all day lips sealed

I believe you are correct. A good solid Title which makes sense such as; For Dad at Christmas Reindeer with Santa and then keywords with Xmas with both Title and Keywords being picked up by search engines.

Now, let me also state that I always include who its for and the event in my keywords as well as my Title...for what it's worth Grin
