What are keywords?
Why should I use them?
How can parole chiavi help me?
parole chiavi are tag that te place on the content te invia to fanpop so that other fan can find it. te don't need to use a lot of them, just the relevant ones. You'll want to use words that describe what's in the content. Who is in it, what episode it's from, etc.
Example:
This example is very simple. It's an icona from the mostra Supernatural [keyword], the subject is Dean [keyword], it's from episode 4x18 [keyword] 'The Monster at the End of This Book' [keyword].
It's also sometimes helpful to say what kind of image it is. For icons, wallpapers, fanart and screencaps it's unnecessary because there are already categories that will sort that for you. But episode stills and promotional foto all just end up in the foto section.
Example:
The above image is a little più detailed. It's from the mostra Supernatural [keyword], the subject is Meg [keyword], the actress is Rachel Miner [keyword], it's from episode 6x10 [keyword] 'Caged Heat' [keyword] and it's an episode still [keyword].
In this image I put the actress's name because più than one actress has depicted this character.
Batch uploading
If te are uploading several icone at once, please make sure that your parole chiavi are relevant to each image in the batch.
Example:
These two icone were uploaded in the same batch, they have the same keywords. But not all of the parole chiavi are relevant to each image. They are both from the episode 'All Cani Go to Heaven' but obviously both Sam and Dean are not in both of these icons. They should have been uploaded separately. One in a batch of 6x08 Dean icons, the other in a batch of 6x08 Sam icons.
Let's talk about why te should use parole chiavi and how they can help te and your fellow fans.
parole chiavi help make your content searchable. If you're looking for something specific [an episode, character o type of image], parole chiavi will help te find it.
Example:
Let's say that te were going to make a pick about Dean in the Supernatural episode 'The Monster at the End of This Book'. te wanted to put relevant icone on the options. In theory, the best way to find those relevant icone would be to use the 'Search Club' bar in the Supernatural Spot. te would type in Dean, The Monster at the End of this Book and/or 4x18, then choose 'images' > 'icons'.
This image has Dean in it and is from 4x18. It might be perfect for your pick. But it has no parole chiavi at all. It would not mostra up in any search, no matter what te typed into the cerca bar. It is essentially nonexistent. Unless te happened to see this icona when it was first uploaded and showed on the front page, you'll never see it [unless of course it's reuploaded da someone else but that's a whole other issue].
This image has Dean in it and is from 4x18. But the only parola chiave it has is Supernatural. Which makes it pretty useless. Why would te go to the Supernatural spot and type Supernatural into the cerca bar? The only reason to use Supernatural in the parola chiave section is for outside cerca engines [ie Google] to be able to find it. It should never be the only keyword.
This image has Dean in it, is from 4x18 and has all the parole chiavi necessary for te to find it! Out of the the thousands of icone that have been added to the Supernatural spot- te found the one te needed! That is the whole point of keywords. That is why they should be used with every image. Otherwise, you're just uploading air. The whole point of fanpop is to gather content together and share it with your fellow fans. If they never see it, you're not sharing it.
parole chiavi would also help cut down on repeat content. If everyone used parole chiavi and if everyone used the cerca bar to check to see if something has already been added [promotional foto especially!], then there wouldn't be near as many of the same immagini uploaded over and over and over again. I realize that's a lot to hope for but I figured I'd mention it because that is one of the ways that parole chiavi could be useful.
I also want to give some tips on how to parola chiave videos. It's the same as the immagini but since there are no subcategories for video like there are for images, it's più important to say what kind of video it is. Is it a fanvid? An interview? Special features? Gag reel? A scene? A promo?
Since most of the video added tend to be fanvids, parole chiavi that let people know what kind of video it is can be really helpful for those searching for non-fanvids.
Adding parole chiavi is incredibly simple. All te have to do is take a moment to think about what you're uploading and what te would type into the cerca bar if te wanted to find it. It doesn't take that much time and is simple common courtesy.
I know that most of the people who will read this articolo already know the importance of parole chiavi and use them. However, I think it might be helpful if we all pass this articolo along. Post links to it in spots that have poor parola chiave usage. Try to educate as many people as possible to why they should use keywords. Maybe we can see an improvement.

Yesterday, I was fanpoping. I come across the link spot- And went to videos. link is what I saw. There were mela, apple pie video there. inviato da Hulu.
link are some immagini da other fanpopers reporting this.
Hulu's video should NOT be done da a webcrawler. (or whatever te call it) Dave, either have a manual team do hulu's videos, o dont do it at all.
EDIT: as amazondebs says in the comments, fanpop isen't even getting paid for hulu's videos. What is the purpose of having them here?
(Another) EDIT: più of this maddness. and in link spot!
Let me tell te how I first discovered fanpop. (Just bored so thought I'd write this)
I was on the net looking for pictures. I then came across a site (Which is this one really) and clicked the link.
I never knew what this site was o what and thought it was one of those many sites like twitter and Facebook.
Browsing some più I accidentally landed on someone's profilo page and scrolling down say there were pic's looking like cubes. On superiore, in alto there were titled 'Clubs'.
I noticed a familiar icona of my favourite actor and clicked on it.
It was cool, it was like a website just full of that actors info.
I noticed they had quiz and took part.
Than I released that te had to sign up to record what te got right/wrong etc.
Thats when I decided to log on and realised I was SOOO ADDICTED TO IT!
(Hey I don't even spend so0 much time like this on Facebook!)
So that was how I discovered Fanpop-not to dramatic o interesting, but i found my rabbit hole.
Whats yours?
