keywords and search engines

I'm in the process of uploading my galleries, and see that S*E unfortunatley didn't add the keywords to my images.

Now I have to go back and keyword them again. So....here's the question. If I keyword a gallery do all the images in the gallery actually inherit the keywords?

Also, from a search engine perspective, am I better off keywording each image separately than relying on the galleries - or even should I do both approaches?

Thanks a lot!

    No the gallery keywords and the image keywords are separate things. It sounds like you want one set of keywords for a given gallery, if that's the case you're in luck. Smugmug has a batch keyword function that will let you add, replace, delete, etc keywords from just a few to all of your images. Give it a try!

    I'm not 100% sure about this one. Anyone else know? My guess is that you'd be better off adding keywords to both the gallery and the images.
    Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.
