So you've created a photoblog or Flickr page and uploaded all your best pictures. Now what? You have great pictures, and your own site, but no one is coming to look at them. How do you get exposure, what can you do to get people to visit your photography website?
There are four websites that are important for all photographers and photography enthusiasts. Before continuing, it's absolutely important you register at PictPicture.com, photoblogs.org, coolphotoblogs.com, and vfxy.com.
After you're registered the next step is to peruse the list of hot photoblogs on photoblogs.org; you will definitely come across a few that blow you away; the listing includes some truly great photographers. Bookmark the photoblogs you enjoy, both on photoblogs.org and on your personal browser. (You'll be coming back to them often.) The photography community is a very friendly and personal one. As you visit other photoblogs you like, leave comments telling the photographer what you liked about a picture, or even what you didn't like. In turn many of the photoblog owners will do the same for your site.
Unlike the other sites PictPicture.com allows you to submit individual pictures with a link back your website. Once you post your picture, it's listed under Upcoming, where users can vote on it to move up to the front page. It's a great way to get traffic because each individual picture gives you a chance to get on the front page of the site.
Whatever you do, don't spam comments, or haplessly email photographers in the hopes of new visitors. As long as you become engaged in the community, the visitors will become engaged with your website. Good luck in becoming the next great photographer.
