First a little background:
Almost three months ago I created my second ever website using Squarespace. The focus of my website will be for my photography with the hopes of selling an occasional print. The website consists of 6 galleries of 20 photographs each. Each photograph has a few sentences to a a few paragraphs describing the photograph.
Once the website was up and running, I created a Facebook account and a Blog on my website that mirrors the Facebook account. Actually, I write the content on the blog and send the link to the Facebook account. After 2 months I've got 54 likes (roughly half of my friend lists) I try to stay consistent with one entry a day.
Recently I created accounts on Yelp, Foursquare, Tumbler, Pininterest, Flickr, Linkedin, DPReview, Metromix, TripAdvisor, and Disqus4. Each account has my full profile and website listed. I did this to try and establish some back-links for both follow and no follow. Some of these accounts I already have a lot of content on and others need some attention from me by adding further content.
I've also done the obligatory things as well.
1. Ran my website through nibbler.silktide.com/
2. Ran my website through woorank.com
3. Ran my website through google.com/webmasters/tools
4. Set up Google Analytics
Other than W3C Validity (13) errors and the suggestion of adding a Google + account (woorank.com) my website seems to be okay. Per Google WebMaster Tools, their are no errors.
So here are my questions.
1. Keywords. If I have a photograph and an associated text block describing the photograph, do I need to worry about "keywords"? I played around with keywordeye.com/free/ and I am having difficulty seeing how I would incorporate those results into my text block on the page?
2. Tags. Do I need to worry about these? SquareSpace allows me to tag each photograph with keywords, but I've already used these words in the accompanying text block that goes with each photograph.
3. What else should I be doing that I have overlooked?
4. What is a realistic goal for me to see my website listed? Right now, my site does't list on a Google search. When I type in site: and my website Google does list my site and accompanying pages.
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading my inquiry. Any advice would be appreciated.
