Keywording Editorial Content

Enter a minimum of 7 keywords for each image.
Keywords should be separated by commas, everything between commas is treated as a keyword or a key phrase.
Prioritize more on most relevant keywords by putting them in front of the list.
Describe the image as accurately as possible.
Provide keywords ONLY in English.
Provide more keywords so that your image matches more searches and can be easily found.
Refrain from adding unrelated keywords (spamdexing) in order to have your images appear more often in any search.
Do not put in dates of the event in the keyword list.
Copyrighted keywords of famous brands and names like Audi, McDonalds, Michael Jackson and Teflon are allowed to be included into the keyword list.
Be a little more meticulous when filling in the keywords to avoid any errors as it's not possible for you to edit once the images have been accepted.
