Keywords - find them, use them!
Feb 23rd, 2011, 10:55am
 
But don't MISuse them.
 
This is a GREAT example (in my opinion) of a talented artist using proper, creative, keywords for a beautiful card ...

I try to go to "newest sold" or even "newly created" sections to see how others are using their keywords.  It reminds me to reach out of the box, but still within proper-use boundaries, with applying keywords to my own work.
 
LOVE this card example!

Yes, I think some of us think that where it says ten words, that GCU means that is all you can use, but as long as the words describe the product - use them!  Ten, I would say would be a minimum.  If you can't find ten worthy words for your card, it probably isn't worth selling.  
 
The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words....should tell you something.
 
Of course you don't want to use keywords that don't apply to your card either.  That does nothing but annoy people when they're searching for something.  I know it does me!

That's a really lovely design...I wonder if it's selling well? I was browsing at Hallmark Card Store yesterday, this design is better than most at Hallmark.

Thank you for using my card as an example of proper keywords.
 
Being in the microstock business for 4 years now, I have discovered that correct descriptive keywords
are the tools for buyers to find an image/card in a stack of millions.  
 
No... this card has not sold yet.  undecided
