Grouping options

Hi friends,

I have question about grouping tracks. If I asked a curator to group my tracks, all of keyword that I put separately and differently in each track would be up to the main track ? I'm wondering if some keywords are different in other sub - tracks. Will they be found on search engine ?

Thanks for your answer in advance

From my understanding when you ask the curator to associate your tracks each track still keeps its own unique keywords. I have a few stems for a track and some parts have different feels and i use different keywords for each. When i saw they were associated they still had those unique key words

@SBstudios573 Thank you for your answer. I always have many versions of a track and it will be great if they can keep it own unique keywords.

Thanks!!

to my knowledge, and i know i asked pond5 staff about this (but this was 2 years ago i think, and things might have changed),
it's indicated that you put all your edits as different entries, different uploads, so as to not have main track + edits in the same page
for the buyer to see, but as different pages. also, if you do it like this, you should name appropriately, as in (example following):

"motivating rock track"
"motivating rock track - loop 1"
"motivating rock track - intro"

so the edits point, by their title, to the original file.
also you can put some links in the edits, pointing to the full track's clip page.
and the other way around, if you want, links in the full track's page, pointing to the pages of the edits.

it is possible that you have an energetic rock track that has a slow melancholic bridge. the tags of the
full track would obviously not match the tags of the bridge edit. so it's better to put the edit as different entity.

well, at least that's how i did/do it.

and separate entries are indexed better in searches (or were, at the time when i made the decision to put them as separate entries) so you have better chances of views/sales. if you think about it, having 2 separate entries, one the full length trach and the other the edit, will show up both in search, as different results, so more chances the buyers clicks one of them. whereas, if you have them grouped, i think they appear as a single result in search, so automatically less chances of being clicked/viewed.

i think that the buyer's behaviour is like this:
- he openes some search results (the blue boxes with results) in separate tabs.
- he doesnt check out the actual titles much (if he opens many results i doubt he is very attentive of their titles, rather he randomly clicks around, not reading the entire titles, just taking a short glance at them).
- he then goes through each clip page that he opened and clicks play to hear them.

if this is his behaviour, then, by makind 2 separate entries, one for the full length and the other for the edit,
makes it more probable that he opens them both as different tabs, and listen to them both, so you have more chances to be bought. whereas if you have them grouped, once he opens the group page and clicks play and does not like what he hears, the odds for him to give you another chance and click play on the same page but on another edit from your group, i would say are really really slim. if he didnt like the full length track how it begins, then you lost him, he wownt hit play on any of the edits, and maybe he doesnt even notice the edits are in the same page (who knows?). i think it is best, thus, to make separate entries, separate uploads, separate clip pages, for each of the edits, and not group them.

if anyone has arguments against my standing, he can prove me wrong, but i doubt.
