Providing excellent keywords with your content is critical to helping customers discover your work. Great keywords are detailed and precise. They relate directly to what is in the image or clip, either by describing what it shows, or what it might represent. For example a photo of a flower can include keywords like yellow, tulip, flower, beauty, spring, fresh.

How is Title Spamming Defined?
Great titles are unique and detailed. They read like a short sentence or phrase and not like a list of words. Think of your title as a news headline and try to answer the main questions of: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. Be descriptive and use words that capture the emotion or mood of the image.
