As I comb through hundreds of photoblogs daily, there is one mistake more than half of all photo bloggers make…they fail to post information “About” themselves. If you are looking for a Quick Way to Improve Your Photoblog Traffic, be ready to take notes.

While most photoblogs have an “About” link somewhere on their page, most photographers do not feel the need to provide any interesting background…What motivates you to photograph? What type of photography do you enjoy? ..Photographers reading about other photographers are particularly interested in the type of photo gear you use. What’s in your bag?

Part of my daily process in posting photoblogs is to first, find interesting photoblogs. While good photographs are aplenty, my goal with ILovePhotoblogs.com is to showcase great photoblogs, not just great photos.

Having a detailed “About” page makes you and your photoblog more interesting. It’s really that simple. If you have any experience with sales, you understand people buy the salesperson first, then the product. The same is true for photoblogs. Draw your viewers in by making a personal connection with them and see your return visits go through the roof. Along with return visits, happy visitors will gladly refer your site to friends and acquaintances.

Going forward, I will place an increased emphasis when considering photoblogs to be published on our site, to have some background information about the artist, as well as interesting design, and great photography.

So if you’re looking to improve your blog traffic in a short period of time, offer more than just a pretty picture! Creating an interesting bio page is the easiest and quickest way to achieve results. While it doesn’t have to be “War and Peace“, consider your About page as your “personal brochure”.

Listed below, are a few excellent photo blogger “About” pages…
