You all know the scene… someone banging their head against a brick wall or desk over and over again as a sign of frustration; yes, that was me this morning.

That’s because a very established keywording vendor returned this image, but failed to include the keyword American Flag, America, or even American.

(Thud…. thud….. thud.)

I mean seriously… How do you miss that?

(More thud… thud…. thud.)

    What do those vendors charge for this kind of service?

  • Same vendor who referred to another picture of this memorial with some rather inaccurate/inappropriate keywords?

    Joe; Companies charge between $0.50 & $1.40 per image; although for the amount of correction time I need to put in, I tend to place the value at the lower end of the scale. I’d pay more if they could deliver a better product that I don’t need to spend a full day checking over their work.

    Michael: Yeah, same company. They did follow my feedback and deleted those inappropriate words like I asked, but I was a little dumbfounded when I checked this image and failed to see “American Flag”.

    I would be dumbfounded too Gary. I hope that they have some sort of explanation for this glaring omission. Otherwise it’s inexcusably poor work.
