Using Photo Sharing Websites in Your Social Media SEO Campaign

When undergoing an SEO campaign on your website social media should always be incorporated. Things such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube all help to give you links back to your website and create brand awareness. Social media can be regarded as SEM (search engine marketing) because it allows people to find out about you and your business.

One element of social media which is sometimes over looked is photo sharing websites such as Flickr and Photobucket. These sites allow you to create an account and upload your photos and images.

The importance of these photo sharing sites is that once you have added your photos you can create descriptions, titles and keywords just like a web page on your website. The photo albums you create can be linked into your website or blog and used as a slideshow.

By creating these albums with their descriptions, titles and keywords not only can people view your images within these sites but they will also appear within search engine results especially image results and this has to be good for your website.

By making the images as attractive as possible so people want to search for them and view them as this way you are increasing your chances of traffic to your website.

To get the people who view your images to your site many of the photo sharing sites allow you to add a direct link into your website from either the image itself or through your profile page on there.

The easy the link is to find the higher the levels of traffic to your site. You can then see the impact of your images by studying Google Analytics and seeing how many people linked into your site from the images.

Always remember to ALT tag all of your images on your website too so you get maximum exposure on image search engine results, every little bit helps with your SEO and SEM campaign.
