With keywording things is it the more the merrier to get google to list your page? I suppose they should be relevant, but assuming that rule, more keywords couldn't hurt might help right?

    And, they work. Try these terms on Google:

    kata backpack review

    adobe lightroom review

    dslr handstraps

    night shot post processing

    If I'm going to put davidson as a keyword and college as a keyword, is there any purpose to also putting in davidon college as a keyword?

    And I suppose I should do sports photos "sports photos"? (and if the answer to this is yes I'll know the pattern and stop bugging you).

    Well I sure am glad there's a bulk keyword tool. Let's see if I can get my pagerank to be higher than 3/10.

    I recently started going with this approach as well. I do my keyword editing offline and haven't made the changes on smugmug yet though.

    I really like how smugmug lets you use +/- filters on keywords and by using the above technique you get the best of all approaches, i.e., you can be very specific and only see pictures related to "davidson college", or you can start by looking at pictures with keyword college then add +davidson to gain a more narrow view (BTW, this will not necessarily leave you with the same result as the quoted multi-word keyword).
