Flickr Optimisation Tips

  • Here are some tips to help you establish your online presence using Flickr.
  • Once you have created a bit of a Flickr profile, with relevant links and biography:
  • Create your profile: Make yourself visible by keeping your username, profile image and biographies the same, or similar to your other social media sites. List your website, blog and other profiles to generate traffic between them.
  • Optimise your photos: If you want to be included in the Google image search results pages, be sure to use the correct keywords when tagging your photos, with your keywords in the title and caption.
  • Geo-tag your photos for better relevance: By making reference to your geographical position, you are more likely to rank for local search requests.
  • Live photo blogging: Mobile technology allows you to create media-rich content quickly and easily.
  • Browse the themes groups: Join groups relevant to you and your images, and interact with others to increase your online presence with Flickr.
