Please STOP Repeating Words in the keywords, if not, then I'm going to turn using them off for everyone except Admins.

1. EVERY word in the title is indexed by default.

2. EVERY word in the description is indexed by default.

3. Your name is indexed and linked to each item you upload by default.

No need to put any of those in the KEYWORDS, as they are not keywords they are already indexed.

Keywords are "special" words NOT included in the items above, they are intended for search to use to "key on" outside of the above and should NEVER be common words, they must be "special words" else they are pointless to define and just make the search run slower and return stupid amounts of false hits on non-specific common everyday words.

If none of this makes sense or you still don't know what a KEYWORD is then leave that field blank, it's better empty that filled with unnecessary or unneeded words.

Thank you.

:-)

Yeah I know, if your curious on if a word is "good" to be used as a keyword.

Enter it in the search box, in the gallery and see what you get back.

If you get a ton of hits, then it's a bad keyword, if you get few or none then it's good to go.

Enter your name in search, it will return every cover you have posted.

I purged all the keywords when I transferred over to the new gallery as there was a ton on crap in there, like Disney on every Disney cover or label ever made.

The question then becomes how does someone think that will help anyone find their cover or label, if everyone is using Disney as a keyword, see the problem.

I mean you can stick it in the description I guess if a person wanted, then it will index but it will not be particularly useful.

To be truly useful they need to be unique.

They are a little confusing, so blank is good lol.

Actually not putting anything in there is more useful, than adding something wrong, as odd as that sounds.

:-O
