Doubts with the tagging of videos

Hello Adobe people, I have a problem. I can't sell what I really would like or have to sell. I suspect the problem is with the tagging, good tagging is essential when trying to get people to download a video or photo. I am currently uploading photos and videos of sky and clouds.

 

This was the label before putting the sky and clouds videos:

 

evening, sky, gray, light, environment, sunlight, bluish, beautiful, color, abstract, nature, weather, clouds, blue, wind, fluffy, fluffy, time lapse, day, atmosphere, bright, space, cumulus, strange, sky, high, outdoors, cloudscape, shape, meteorology, white, cloud, beauty, outdoors, compact, mass, greyish, whitish, cloudy ,grey, time-lapse, backgrounds, air, speed, motion,

 

After reading an Adobe article that further explained tagging, I created a new tag, which is this:

 

Evening, clouds, sky, meteorology, sky, landscape, timelapse, joy, peace, aerial, open air, climatology, climate, light, bright, during the day, beautiful, beauty, environment, color, blue, white, nature, time, speed, fast, slow, video, wind, abstract, fluffy, compact, dense, background

 

 

Is the new tag better than the old one? What is the problem with the tag if there is one, what words would you add to the tag to improve it?

Maybe you're not giving customers what they want.  Or perhaps you're in a fiercely competitive keyword category that just doesn't have much demand right now. 

 

Sky.cloud have over 16 million assets in Stock.

Have you spent many hours researching the tags by searching on them? To see what your competition is, and how many thousand or million images there are with similar tags? Does your photo show in the 100 pages of results?

Yes, I have looked at people's tags, and fortunately my videos appear on the first pages, but I don't have all the downloads that I would like or should have, so I suspect that I have not tagged well.

If your assets appear on the first pages they are getting seen by potential Buyers. The problem is that it's a very competitive category. When I searched videos in "clouds sky" there were nearly 1.9 million results. Perhaps add another tag for the type of clouds - cirrus, nimbus, cumulus, etc.
