Have keywords set at upload time?

I'm looking for a way to set the same keywords for all images being uploaded instead of going in and setting them after being uploaded. I might just be missing something. Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I do this all the time in Adobe Bridge. You just need to put keywords into the proper metadata field in the images before uploading. You can do this in Elements, Photoshop, Bridge, Lightroom and most image editors or workflow tools.

More software now lets you add keywords and metadata to images as they are imported from the camera. The latest versions of Lightroom and Bridge do this, and they do presets.
For instance, I can spend 1 second applying a preset to an import of 100 images coming in from a camera card, and that preset adds copyright, my name, the city, state, and country of the photo to all 100 photos. This is before you have even touched the photos. Of course you can then add specific keywords in the software. After that, you never worry about it again and they are preserved all the way up to Smugmug.
