Question: Putting my photos on Flickr and on my blog

3 replies
Hello,

I see quite a few bloggers 'house' their pictures on Flickr that also go on their blog (via a plugin, etc....)

Question is what exactly is the advantage in doing this? I would think just putting your photos on your blog only might be the way to go but I'm sure there's a reason.

Thanks in advance.

    Its all about the SERPs and content relevancy - Images hosted on flickr get index much quicker and get better ranking as they are classed to be relevant to the site.

    Its just like putting a video on YouTube and thn embeding it on your blog.

  • I recommend putting your personal photos on your blog. But if you have commercial pictures (e.g. products for sale etc.) then place them both on your business' blog as well as on Flickr because this is another tool for driving traffic to your website. For example, whenever I offer personal items for sale on ebay, I upload a picture on Flickr with a link to my ebay listing.
