Adding A New Relevant Keyword To Many Different Images

YES - just go to edit image and add your new keyword(s)/tag(s).

You cannot do a "bulk edit" of images but you can do the image edits one by one. This will not change the other keywords. I had not noticed that you have to re-set customizations upon edit- don't think that should be necessary. I will check some of my own images on that. If the customizations are not saving it is perhaps a glitch that needs to be corrected.


Did I answer your question ? :-)

I just edited one of my images. The product images did not need to be re-customized.

One by one
But no need to start over, just edit.
Similarly, if you end up revising an image, you can change the image and keep the keywords/likes and comments.

Thank you everyone, your replies are helpful - it would have been great to be able to add a single keyword to them all at once but if the customization doesn't get lost then this is good news too,

Pamela yes, thanks!

best regards

Tomer,

You only have to customize again when You change Your image through editing and of course this makes sense. But ONE time I had to customize again and I did not know why. May be there is a second but not regularly reason?

It would be great if we could bulk edit keywords. Many times I have wished we had it.

Thank you Rudi and Valerie too for your comments - yes, I think it would make a lot of sense if one could bulk edit keywords without altering anything else... but I have another related question - does it help if one has many keywords, or is it better to stick to fewer keywords per image?
From reading the instructions here I got the impression that more would be better, yet yesterday, a web designer asked me (regarding website keywords) if I didn't know that each web page should have only 3 - 4 keywords, as more in fact reduces search effectiveness.

I was surprised, I didn't know that - and would like to ask if anyone knows whether the system here is essentially different than ordinary website search in this regard (maybe I ought to bulk edit all my images to "delete most"??? :-) )

The more keywords the better as long as they pertain to the subject of the image. From what I've heard descriptions are very important as well.

I think search effectivity is only reduced when Your additional keywords are worse than the first. So no more is better than bad ones. Good ones should not have a bad effect.
Some days ago I did read in an other thread that the use of keywords also depends on the browser and/or the search engine. Some only read the first ten (have never heard about 3 or 4). When You start with the most relevant ones it should be fine.

OK thank you Jessica and Rudi - I'm relieved I don't have to change anything, I made sure they are all really relevant from the start. Yes this piece of information about 3 or 4 I found very strange, I had to do them for a freelancing website translation job and the one who created the pages asked me to do keywords and then said I sent way too many and 3-4 "the maximum" and I was sort of stunned but... that's irrelevant here :-)

"From reading the instructions here I got the impression that more would be better, yet yesterday, a web designer asked me (regarding website keywords) if I didn't know that each web page should have only 3 - 4 keywords, as more in fact reduces search effectiveness. "

Whoa, 2 different meanings of keyword.
For the search here each keyword (tag) increases, in fact multiplies the amount of searches you are in. Use all that apply .

In the descriptions and title use fewer keywords so the internet knows what the image is about. Your web designer is speaking of content on web pages being indexed and ranked on internet search engines. The FAA engine indexes every keyword that is used in the tag section but not the description and title. Using few keywords is not likely to gain you any rank on the keyword but the exact formula is a secret. But for sure using more words gets your work in more searches.

Thank you Bradford for this detailed helpful explanation ! I'll certainly follow your advice.
