How important are the keywords you use ?
The truth…keywords are a HUGE determining factor in the ultimate success or failure of your photo blog. Not to bore my fellow photographers with SEO talk, but I feel this strongly about the topic. Keywords can easily make the difference between a site or blog that has marginal traffic and one which enjoys heavy traffic.
Successful blog owners or webmasters spend a lot of time researching the right keywords to use within their site. Since most of the traffic a site receives come from search engines, your content should be rich in killer keywords to feed the search engines.
At ILovePhotoblogs.com, 70% of all traffic we receive is from search engines and half of that total comes from image search results.
Instead of focusing on single keywords, concentrate on keyword phrases; 2, 3 or 4 keyword phrases. You will find success much more quickly using multi-keyword phrases on your site. Also, if you have a site rich in image content, it is extremely important you incorporate keywords in the title of each image. Again, half of my traffic comes for image search results!
