Does naming your clips help with finding your clips?

If this is the case Jason why don't we just paste our keywords into the description also?

Well Scott why don't you do a search on Google using one of your clips and see for yourself if your keywords help.

they still show up if I'm searching keywords... but I'm searching dapoopta then the keywords

When someone other than yourself is doing a search on Google their not using your screen name. Does that make sense?

Indeed the "screen" name is and should result in a Google search result. In fact many buyers that follow new products may indeed search either by the artists real name or his handle.

I just used my screen name to try to limit the results to let me see if all my clips with keywords that aren't in the description are coming up. I think the keywords are being indexed by google and then they come up, I might be wrong though, because sometimes p5 doesn't even index right with plurals of some things, but google handles them correct.

I do the same, a fast check to see if everything saved correctly. By do this I have found clips of mine missing keywords several times.

But not everyone who searches Google uses an artist/screen name while searching for footage.

Well Jason if 1 to 2 percent or even less do these searches doesn't it make sense to do it. Agreed, most buyers don't know artists names but are only looking for a subject matter. Every little 1 or 2 percent might help.

Clip title is the main thing used by Google, keywords and description does not matter (such was an explanation from Marcus a very long time ago)
