I am not sure if any of the keywords are weighted, and I know there are different ways to do this, but as pond5 grows more and more, and the search results need to be honed more and more, the 50 keyword limit contributes to many clips that end up in search results where they probably do not belong.
one of the other sites has a higher weight for the first 5 keywords. I think that weighting just 1 keyword or phrase would help narrow results down. I would recommend that each seller gets to pick 1 keyword for each clip that should get a higher weight.
if that keyword is seached for, it would get a weighted boost in search results, but not when its other keywords are searched for.
one example I came across was the word 'butterfly' which triggered a lot of videos about tattoos of butterflies, when in fact videos of actual butterflies were not showing up as much.

Tiberio, that site is almost dead.

Years before you knew P5 existed, P5 did it that way. P5 keeps telling up to submit suggestions like TE recommended. They don't really follow the forum nor seldom answer. The forum is more of an artist get-to-gather place.
