Ok..I just spent over 11 hours the last 2 days keywording and uploading 896 photos to Shutterstock. Is there a faster way to "batch" keyword in Lightroom 2, and choose catagories without doing it after the uploads, or will I have to choose the catagory afterwards anyway? I do not want to go through all that pain again!!!

there are keyword shortcuts ( sort of most recently used ), drag and drop ( from keyword dialog ), and you can always keyword a bunch at once upon import.
watch the library video from the 1st post...

I use keywords editor which is a photoshop plug in. It works great because it is simple and does exactly what i need it to do for stock. It deletes duplicate words, has a thesaurus and spell checker and it can copy keywords from any of the previous images you edited so if you are doing a series you can easily take the keywords from the last image.
As for categories on shutterstock... no you have to choose them when you upload.

I appreciate all the help...just trying to get at least 100 accepeted so I can make a "little" extra money. By the way LEAF you messed up a little in your shortcut information. I don't think my wife would appreciate me doing that in the living room where I use my laptop the most. Just read your directions and you will see what I'm talking about.

Are you a Windoze user and don't have Bridge or Lightroom 2?
Microsoft Photo Pro is Free, does batch tagging of Meta data and GPS stuff. Works well.
Expression Media 2 formerly iView by Phase One (not free) kicks Lightrooms cataloging a$$. Does all media, metadata and tagging. Fast and easy to use. Hiearchal keywording way easier than LR.
Note: I wasn't going to run 2 catalogs so in the end I ended up with LR2. I was tempted by Capture One + Expression Media 2 for < $200, but Capture One 4 (RAW conversion) just wasn't up to LR2s tweaks.

err - i was thinking about something else - wrong answer ;}
though i haven't messed with them much, what about the dynamic catalogs that lightroom2 offers ?
seems to assemble your images by metadata real time. so in theory if over 10 years i tagged 1000 photos with ' dog ' they should all show up in a dynamic catalog i created that looks for 'dog'. ( assuming i've got access to all the files - 10yrs is a long time ;)
so same would be true if i tagged all my stock photos as ' stock ' upon import, or individually as i looked through them.
i've never used expression media 2

well..fotolia has finally accepted [u]1[/u] image...and shutterstock has accepted 48 of the same ones I submitted to the other site. Guess it just depends on what is needed or wanted on the site on which photos get selected.
