I recently made a website and needed keywords for the SEO. Ive typed as many as I can think of but need more.
Is there a giant list of keywords for photogs out there? Anybody want to post theirs or send me a copy?
Im at a loss for words now but I know theres 100's more.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Are you talking about the META keywords tag entries, for Yahoo? To my knowledge the consensus is to use only a short number (15 or less) of keywords that specifically correspond to the page you're adding them to, and that more is not necessarily a good thing...

More is less. In fact some may say the the metadata Keyword is pretty much useless now. It's all about your <title> tag, <description> tag and more importantly relative content.

Google Keywords, this will help:

It will help you focus your attention which keywords may be of interest, you will have to set up the keywords for each individual page to optimise the whole site.

Meta-keyword is still used but not heavily weighted. Meta-Description is far more important as almost all SEs use this as a way of describing your site. Having relevant URLs and internal links is also important.

There are two uses the term "keyword" here that should not be confused.

Google does not use the "keywords" meta tag in your ranking. They do suggest that you find relevant "keywords" for your site, and make sure they exist in the content, are incorporated into your links, are listed in the title and description meta tags, image alt tags, etc.

Yahoo is more of a mystery (to me), but to my understanding they do still use the keywords meta tag, but for a short list only. Of course keywords in your content are still more relevant.

Google "seo tools" and similar terms, there are all sorts of online tools to help develop relevant keyword lists.
