A Picture Is Worth 1000 Keywords

KeywordsIn the past few years I have noticed a trend among many photographers and smaller stock agencies to outsource keywording. This brings us to the fundamental question - How important is keywording? My experience is that proper keywording is perhaps one of the most important things that can affect the revenue potential of an image. This is because the primary way for a potential buyer to see your images is through an online service which typically uses keywords to determine which images appear in a search. That means that it is very important that keywording is done by a competent professional with an understanding of what keywords should be applied to an image. If you don’t know for sure how to do this you may consider using one of the following outsourced solutions.
