When i started contributing on microstock, i didn't care alot about keywording. After the first
short period when i submitted everything i had, i started to pay attention to the type of
photos which had been downloaded the most, and i tried to adapt it to my portfolio, however
it is difficult. Of course i also tried to improve the technical quality of my pictures. I had
never payed attention to the keywording of my pictures, i just added the necessary
minimum as i didn't want to 'loose time' by editing detailed keywords to my pictures, as i
found it pretty boring. With the time i realised how important this issue is. I started to do the
exact opposite and added as many keywords as i could to my pictures, because i thought
the more keywords will add, the more times my pictures will appear among search results and
the more times they will be downloaded. However sometimes my picture got refused for not
having relevant keywording - for example on IStockphoto there is a
strong control of keyowrds added to pictures, as keywords have to match their own vocabulary.
Some agencies also have a system which allows all users of the wesite to report the bad
keywording and also allows 'punishing' photographers who are adding irrelevant keywords for
example 'Dreamstime'.
Dreamstime also has a great function which shows which keywords sold the picture. I realised
that adding too many keywords will not help to sell the image because when a picture appears
in search results and is not relevant for the search, it will not be downloaded anyway.
So now i try to find the best way to add relevant keywords to my picture without having to
spend hours on there. Recently i came across the microsite 'Pixmac' ,
which offers its contributers professional keywording for free. This sounds good but i have not
yet tried it and cannot say if the keywording is good quality, however it is the only site offering
photographers free keywording. It is also still possible to keyword your photos by yourself but you
have to use their keywording guide which is based on c******* on the keywords and it helps you
not to forget anything. But what i found most interesting are systems allowing easy keywording
and multiple picture sending to different microsites. It is a payed service as far as i know, so i
have not yet tried it, but i definately want to try it as it seems very clever to me.

If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

清晨很早就醒来了，不是被游客吵醒的，是自己醒来的，出门在外我总是保持着很高的警觉性，所以不怎么容易睡 得熟。

　　院子里很安静，只有一个小妹在认真地扫地，我仔细端详了一下这个小妹和那个昨晚我都没来得及看清楚的院 子，小妹是典型的纳西人，院子中央是一个四四方方的天井，地上铺的是青石板，高低不平，还有些许青苔在上面 ，很像我小时候老家的院子。

　　没过多久，娟子和小葛下来了，娟子换上了一件衬衫，显得更加英姿飒爽了一点，小葛的腰昨天背包的时候扭 了，走路显得很吃力，我让Frank带上她俩出去吃早饭，我留守总部联系包车的人。

　　又过了一会，另外三个也下楼了，ivy和vici出去拿昨天定做的衣服，只剩下了我和丁丁。在七个人当 中，我目前对丁丁的了解最少，正好利用这个时候跟她聊了聊。丁丁长得很文弱，是上外的mm，还记得在上大学 的时候，我们只要一谈论起上外的mm总是会眉飞色舞，几乎人人都盼望找一个上外的mm当女友，那可是一件相 当拉风的事情。我咽了咽口水，努力定了定神，丁丁给我的感觉就是一大家闺秀，举手投足之间都是标准的上海大 小姐。她以往也是很循规蹈矩的在家里过节的，这次不知道是什么触动了她，下定决心跟走亲访友说再见，来投奔 我这样一个吃苦自助游，一想到这次我带了四个大小姐出来，头皮就有点发麻，隐约觉得前途坎坷。

　　不一会儿，出去的几个人都回来了，衣服和早饭，该买来的都买来了，人手一付豆浆和鸡蛋饼， 还挺丰盛。

　　正好吃的差不多的时候，司机和司机老婆也来接我们了，大包小包背上肩膀，队伍浩浩荡荡的出 发了。

　　这是我在丽江停留的最后一段时间了，我努力的四处张望，企图尽量多的搜罗丽江的影像，回去也可以跟朋友 们吹嘘一下，不至于跟人说我在丽江就睡了个觉。好在去停车场的路很长，正好可以让我沿路浏览下丽江的风光。

　　不过对于一个在江南古镇生活了那么久的我来说，丽江对于我而言，实在提不起兴趣。我觉得全国的古镇都是 一个模子里刻出来的，小河，石板路，砖木房子的无数种排列组合组成了各种不同风貌的古镇。丽江呢，就是再多 了一些酒吧，而且商业开发的比较早，比较好，再加上独特的地理位置，得以领先全国的古镇，但就本质而言，没 啥特别。

　　跟着司机大哥转悠了好几条街之后，终于走出了丽江古城，上了他那崭新的商务车，开始了一天 的行程
