Re-visit old stock images

I attribute some of my success (almost 4,000 sales!) on Dreamstime to analysis and subsequent incorporation of feedback provided on the site. One such lesson is the importance of titles, descriptions and keywords. In the early days of uploading I frequently revised as I learned better approaches to keywords. Titles turn out to play a big role in how an image sells early on. In that light, I frequently take a quick look at images that have been online for a while with views and no sales. Below are two examples that I changed titles on, and was quickly rewarded for my efforts with a sale:

Interestingly the words used to search on for the second image didn't relate to my title changes - the keywords used to find my image were: "senior alone woods", and "Outdoors". In the first case a mere 14 images in the Dreamstime database match those terms: Senior alone woods
