Best Key Words

Basically use the words for a thorough description, without having them in sentence. Best?...there is no best. The keywords must be accurate, not best. The more of them, the better it is.

The ones that fit your image!

KEYWORDS / TAGS
---------- | Abstract Art Tagging
---------- | Keyword generators
---------- | Spamming

The best ones are the ones that fit. There are no magic words.


If you were trying to find the thing you made, what would you type in? Time of day? Location, subject, color, context, objects inside etc. What kind of medium is it, any feelings etc. Those kinds of words.

Just don't list things that aren't there, like don't start rattling off all the presidents, and random vacation spots.

Yours are too general, get specific

Ken,

Welcome! Here's the simple answer: St.Cwyfans church, llangadwaladr,ansglesey,wales church,medieval church,llansglesey church,cribinau church,little church in the sea,ken hurd,  

First 10 words are generally considered the most important. So using "church" as a search word, results in 313,000+ results and you near the end! On the OTHER HAND, using "St. Cwyfans", you're NUMBER 22!!! Much better, huh!

Here are a couple of my tutorials that might interest you:https://fineartamerica.com/showmessages.php?messageid=7073783https://fineartamerica.com/showmessages.php?messageid=5127197

Hope this helps, good luck!

Just make sure the words you use from the list fit your work.

Mike Savad, what does it mean "edit" as a keyword, please, if you don't mind me asking?

I don't recall saying edit. But it means to change your keywords?


----Mike Savad

You wrote it in your last entry, sorry for mentioning, I just wanted to learn...

Edit :) I thought it meant something

In this thread? I did a search. In any case it means to edit. There really isn't any other description as it would probably say in the dictionary:

EDIT - to edit something.

:)


----Mike Savad

No, in your chess image. I thought you meant something special and I wanted to learn.

Thank you for replying!

Oh that's confusing, that should be asked with that thread. Especially since I have no reference.

Here, for this image, you used the keyword "edit", it's listed there.

Oh that. Its a keyword to tell me other challenge edits. Usually I put stuff like that in the end so its not in the box. I also don't remember to put them in for the challenges, but if I want to group them up it will be there.


----Mike Savad

Ah OK, thank you so much!

Welcome aboard.

Who,what,where,why, & "how do you feel about that ?"

What is the thing ? lighthouse, the name of the lighthouse, nickname. Country
Where is it ? City, state & abbreviations.
The name of the harbor, bay , and ocean .
It is a piece of architecture. It is historical
Description - Black & white stripes, white with red trim.
That fancy name for the beveled lighthouse glass.

Day or night. Sunny or stormy .
Weathered and worn, or newly renovated .
Adjectives - tall, peaceful, imposing ....

You can always go back in and Reed it in case you remember something important.

I find it helps to write a detailed description of my image as if I am describing it to someone who can't see it ( search engines are blind and words are what they use for eyes )

Then I can pick through the description and come up with keywords to use which almost invariably leads to more keyword ideas like synonyms or other things I might have missed while I was writing the description.

Abbie's list of keywords for abstracts is super helpful to me because I do so many fractals and abstracts. If you do too you really should copy and paste that list to a file that you can access or bookmark the post for future reference.

Welcome and good luck!

Love your work by the way!

Also, notice that under an image, you will see up to 20 other images. Those are determined by your first two key words. The idea is that if someone sees one of your images and clicks on it for some reason (presumably because he has an interest in the style, the subject, the colors, whatever), he will see related images OF YOURS immediately below it. He can click on one of them to see something else in/of the same style/subject/colors/whatever. If you don't have at least five images that are related in some way, the other images will be your most popular or some random order I don't know about.

Anyway, I try to make sure my first two words are not only an excellent fit to the image I'm key wording but also think what other kinds of images I might have that would have that word in their key word list.
