You can post and share your photos on Flickr, a website that Alexa ranks in the Top 40 for internet traffic. The “photo sharing” part is what makes Flickr such a hot social networking site.
A couple of strategies to get the most bang for your buck with Flickr:
1. Be sure to create a relationship-building profile, so social networkers can connect and bond with you. If you want to use Flickr to promote your “WidgetsRUs” business, tell them about you and tell them what you love about widgets. Link to your website and to your email. Use some part of one of your photos to make an icon to identify you on Flickr.
2. The photos you upload from your camera to your computer have some worthless gobbledegook jpg name. Change your photo name to “BestWidget.jpg”. Now the Search Engines can index your photo with a term that people are actually likely to search. And as you share this photo with other social networkers, encourage them to use their Flickr option of applying their own comments and tags to it. That will get you more Search Engine love.
Two simple strategies. Do the first and be consistent with the second, and you improve your social networking results from Flickr.
