Hi,

I'm new here, just got all 10 fractals of my first batch approved, but I'm a bit baffled by the keywords.

I have an impression that I'm under-keywording, but given that I only do abstract art, I don't really know how far I can go before it will look like spamming.

Is there any way to know through which keywords people are finding your images? Also, where can I see stats for each individual image?

To see your downloads for an individual image:
Click on "STATS" in the menu at the top of the page. When you get the "Download Stats" page, click on the tab which says, "By Subscription Download".

To see how other fractalers have keyworded their images:
Go the the main page of SS: http://www.shutterstock.com/. Search on 'fractal'. You can see how the creators of recently popular fractals keyworded their images.

Congratulations on being approved!

thanks, will do that. I guess it takes some practice.
