Do you SEO?

[CCB]

Just wondering how anyone here manages their seo.

Any tips or tricks?

[Mike Anderson]

Best get it straight from the horses mouth:

Follow google's recommendations. If you get caught doing any "tricks" (any attempt at deception) you will be punished by google.

It's mainly about content, artfully producing text that gets your message across to humans and works the appropriate keywords in.

[Brian C. Miller]

There are different ways to do search engine optimization. For photography sites, which are usually really low on text, put some text on the sites. For instance when Frank mentioned using the Google tools to see what was used to look up his site, I tried some searches to see what really did come up. Ya know, it would be nice to see Google put up all the links to New York photography sites first, before giving garbage results. I think that in the first 10 pages, I saw five websites for NY state resident photographers. I didn't see Paul's site, I didn't see Frank's site, I did see Peter Lik, and I saw a bunch of other really stupid sites.

What you want to do with your site is make it obvious to the search engine what your site is about. The only thing that the search engine can do is index text. That's it. Whether the text is a link or it is descriptive about something, that's all the search engine can do. It can't process the content of pictures. OK, some can, but that has to do with women's boobs matching a mathematical curve, not measuring the artistic content of your pictures.

Put some text with each picture on the site, and lots of "meta" tags. For instance, if there's a picture on your site, fill in the "alt" text. This is text that gets displayed when either the picture can't be loaded, or when someone mouses over the picture. Each page should have a link to your contact information. Your site really should have more than just one page, instead of nothing but a bunch of Javascript and indirection.

There are some things that will get your website delisted from Google rankings, such as Google blacklists BMW.de (http://news.cnet.com/Google-blacklists-BMW.de/2100-1024_3-6035412.html). BMW used Javascript redirection to show different pages to users and webbots. If they had instead used server-side content delivery based on the browser tags, then they wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

You want links on other sites pointing to your site. Normally this is based on the theory that a site is significant because other sites reference it. I know that in the past all it has taken are five links from other sites to propel another site significantly upwards. So, this depends on how much effort you want to put into it. You can put up a bunch of blogs with auto-blogger software to produce blather with links to your site. You can put up web sites, under different domain names, to do the same thing. Or you can just do it yourself. It will take a bit of time, but you can do it without too much effort. You might use an art-speak generator to fill up some pages, with links to your site. Instead of just a repetitious phrase, you want English-like sentences. (Pixmaven phrase generator (http://www.pixmaven.com/phrase_generator.html), "It should be added that the iconicity of the purity of line brings within the realm of discourse the substructure of critical thinking.") Maybe you could make pages of that, and then put it through a Jive or Yiddish-ism translator.

[Mike Anderson]

I'm not an expert on SEO but I don't think creating inauthentic links to your site will do much, if any, good. I think google is too smart to fall for this, one of their mission critical tasks is to provide pertinent search results, and they're constantly innovating to thwart these schemes that make their search less pertinent. (Of course valid links are valuable for SEO.) Here's an article about J.C. Penney pulling a fast one, and google reacting to it, in 2010:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/13/business/13search.html?_r=3&src=busln&pagewanted=all&

I doubt this is possible now.

Q.T. Luong has some thoughts on this subject which I think are useful:

http://www.terragalleria.com/blog/2011/12/20/seo-thoughts-from-a-top-ranked-photographer/

[brian mcweeney]

I too am not an expert on SEO, but I have managed to get my site as one of the top three or four on a google search. If you google Dallas interior photographer or Dallas still life photographer, I come up on the first page. My site is hosted through livebooks and they give you a lot of tools and information to help you with SEO. What the other Brian said is true, putting text into the photos/website with the keywords you think people will use to search, works wonders.

[Preston]

Having text content and some key words on your home page is helpful, along with the 'alt text' for images, and desriptions containing keywords for your images, as Brian suggests.

Happy SEOing, everyone,

I think google is too smart to fall for this, one of their mission critical tasks is to provide pertinent search results, and they're constantly innovating to thwart these schemes that make their search less pertinent.

The main problem that I've seen with the sites is that they don't come up in the top 100 search results. And yes, J.C. Penny and BMW did a bunch of massive spam. However, you don't have to do crazy stuff like that to get your site up there. The #1 thing to do is appropriate text. Then the #2 thing to do is get other sites to link to yours. If you haven't been a reliable "presence" on the web, then there won't be a bunch of sites linking to you. This means getting the info out about your site, which may include paying people to talk about you. Payment may be barter, such as "I'll talk about you and you talk about me, and Google with love all of us together."

J.C. Penny's SEO consultant, however, put up a bunch of totally phony sites with links back to J.C. Penny. To bolster your rankings from zero up into the top 100, there doesn't need to be a lot of links. Google results have been skewed from just five links. The example I gave was not for totally empty facades, but something with semi-relevant text. Yes, it's a bump, and it isn't the first thing that needs to be done.

How would I build a website? I would first build it as simply as possible. Sparse is good. Each page would be for one image, and text in the title, tags, and links would be filled out. How do I do this? Ah, well, I've been more sort of writing software since before I was in high school, and while I was in high school I was employed as a programmer. So I would make up a simple database of images and tags, and write a program to create and deploy the web pages for me. (If you think that I'd write HTML for 10,000 pages by hand, boy do you have something to learn about basic data processing!!) Sometimes, reading everybody's laments on this site, I do wonder about writing a general-purpose photo-specific site generator. Seems like there's a need for it.

[Mike Anderson]

Again, be careful about cultivating links. If they smell unnatural (and reciprocal links (http://www.highervisibility.com/blog/do-reciprocal-links-provide-seo-value/) and link wheels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_wheel) will definitely raise google's eyebrows) you can be google-slapped.

My advice: focus first on content and a well structured site (with sitemap and 404 page) as recommended by google.

[Drew Bedo]

Jeez! I can make calls on my un-smart cell phone and answer e-mail on y pre-2008 desk-top computer. Reading this thread makes me feel as though I was wandering in tall corn . I can hear folks talking but can't hear what they are saying . . .and I can't find my way back to the house!


The single thing I've taken away from this discussion is to put more text in the title of each picture (the alt text . . .right?).


Keywords? Meta-tags?

My site comes up on the first page if the search terms are my name (Drew Bedo). What else should I do?

Any simple suggestions are welcome.

[Frank Petronio]

Even putting good captions on your photos will help with search results. And being active on forums like this one, with people clicking to look at your site, will help. And the best way is to be a blogger, with new content all the time, and good content that people want to see is the key. I think Google wants to index and promote good, ethical players with fresh material, that is how they are successful with search.

Now, whether getting good search engine results does you a lick of good is the real question? If someone is picking me on the basis of my using a large format camera or living in New York, it isn't much of a reason and they are not likely to be serious clients for me - instead they are probably just time wasters, other photographers, spammers, or nothing to be concerned about. Occasionally someone may want a stock photo and if you've captioned and keyworded it well, it may show up in their search for "Fall color, Rio Grande River, 4x5". But good luck converting that into a significant sale ~ for the return it probably isn't worth the effort, as the vast majority of the buyers are looking for something cheaper than Getty from an amateur. Or maybe they are desperate and need that image for an international ad campaign and will pay you $30k for licensing ;-p I have some Lotto tickets too.

I'm not saying not to do sound SEO techniques but only do a reasonable effort. You could spend hundreds of hours at it and find it does you hardly any good.

[jon.oman]

Thanks for bringing this topic up. I was not aware of Goggles PDF document on this subject.....

[Brian C. Miller]

Let's say you have one picture per web page. You would put appropriate text into the web page title, the "alt" tag for the picture, some text on the page under the pictures, and a link to your contact page. The other tags need a more detailed description. Here's a good article: Death of a Meta Tag (http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2066825/Death-Of-A-Meta-Tag). The "meta" tag looks like this: < meta name="something" content="something else" >. This allows for specialized information for software that reads the web page. Some are important, and some are now ignored. There's lots of good articles on the web about the best current practices.

[Mike Anderson]

Just wondering how anyone here manages their seo.

Any tips or tricks?

I have been doing computer programming and website design for 10 years as a profession. Photography as a hobby. That said, when it comes to SEO tricks, in my experience there are none.
Simply following Google's recommendations concerning text based sites and staying away from tricks will get you the best results every time. And I have had top 10 listing for numerous sites over the years.

Of course, real SEO can get expensive and is time and resource consuming, but with the proper approach and dedication it can be done and you can compete very well. However, the costs to be in the top 10, are sometimes quite high depending on the keywords you are targeting.

Sometimes, it is cheaper to buy google ads than to get a good listing.

Good luck!

You should look up Googles SEO Guidelines handbook. Very handy!!!!!!

Yeah, that's how I get all my Chinese wedding dress (etc.) spam. :eek:

[Drew Bedo]

Seems yo me, Frank is right. Having a "Good Listing" may be cool, but what counts is attracting folks who want to buy your images.

So then—what actually does work?

[Frank Petronio]

Good pictures!

[Brian C. Miller]

So then—what actually does work?

#1: If the customer doesn't know about you, they won't buy from you. Sort of like that lottery advertisement about odds are 1 in 15,000,000 to win, odds much higher if you don't buy a ticket.
#2: Easy to navigate website, nicely laid out, lots to choose, easy to purchase.

OK, so back to #1, advertising. Tried and true, from the newsie on the corner to billboards to radio, and for over a decade, the web. This is straight business stuff. From looking at a number of success stories, they all have a phrase in common: "... opened a gallery ..." Foot traffic from idle people with money in their pockets. ... Foot ... traffic ... with feet. Shuffling along, gazing at pictures, wandering off, etc, etc. And then every once in a while someone wants to buy something. If you are going to limit yourself to strictly web sales, you must have web traffic. This means that you need to drive traffic to your site, one way or another. Posters around town? Cheap marketing campaign? And of course, search engine optimization when you want traffic from people who kind of know what they want, and definitely don't know about you.

So now to #2. A place that's easy to wander around, nicely laid out, lots to choose, and easy to purchase. Your website has something like 41 pictures on it. You need more. The AA web gallery has at least 60 on it.

And #3, content. Eye candy sells. I'm not saying that everything needs to look like Peter Lik or Thomas Kinkade, but mainly people buy something for the wall that is nice.

This stuff is all business 101, really. And it does work, the world over. But it does take work to make it work.

[Drew Bedo]

Brian: Thanks—got it.

[Mike Anderson]

Drew,
I took a quick look at your site (this page (http://www.quietlightphoto.com/index.php?page=portfolio&gallery=6)) and there are some things you might want to address. This code:

<img src="gallery_images/05.jpg" id="imgcenter">
Should be replaced with something like this:

<img src="gallery_images/hand-reading-brail-shuttered-sunlight.jpg" alt="My hand reading brail, sunlight is filtering through window shutters">
Use a descriptive filename and useful alt text in the image tag. This will especially help if someone is doing an image search on the subject of your photos.

Also, you might consider conforming to web accessibility guidelines, check your pages with an accessibility checker like this (http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php) and follow the recommendations.

This is all a lot of work, I know.

[Drew Bedo]

Mike: Thank you for the specific suggestions. I am in the process of making these types of changes in steps . . .it IS a lotta work!

I've just finished a round of changes to my image postings on artsyhome dot com. Added a link to my site on every image postesd there.

[toyotadesigner]

I don't SEO, but I have two blogs @ wordpress.com. With the correct tags I ended up in the top 10 results at google very soon. Then I added some links to the other sites and it worked. No sweat, no payments to unknown 'service companies', no facebook, no twitter or any absurd social media. I don't sell anything in my blogs or web site (except used gear), but many people discover me quickly, see what I have to offer and give me a call.

IMHO you can loose too much time when working on SEO - until google modifies the algorithms again and you have to start over. Waste of time...

[Drew Bedo]

Hi Mike:

Well I can'r find and, don't know where to look for that code. I did go to the compatability checker but most of it is unintelligible to me. I may have to pay someone—or just leave it alone.

Cheers

[Brian C. Miller]

Drew, how are you editing your web page? You are using a program to do it, right? The program should have a place to enter the "alt" text for each image. That's what Mike is pointing out. Also, the names of the pictures should be descriptive, instead of "05.jpg".

[Drew Bedo]

Well no,Brian. When I jumped into this in 2005, there was no easy/cheap way to get a good looking website.I told a web designer what I wanted the site to look like and paid him to put it up. In 2008 I re vamped the site with a different designer (other guy now had a good job)I can now edit the text and image content with HTML. None of the code you posted is visable to me when I log in as an administrator.

As I said, looks like I'll either have it done by someone or drop it.

I can change the image titles and I'll get to that.

I suppose another option would be to re-do the site again.

Thanks everyone for a non-geeky, non-condesending interest and suggestions.

[Mike Anderson]

Drew,
If on this page (http://www.quietlightphoto.com/index.php?page=portfolio&gallery=6) you can't find this:


<img src="gallery_images/05.jpg" id="imgcenter" />

then the quoted code is probably generated by PHP and it will be hard to change if you don't know PHP. You might try to find a student of web development that knows PHP to make these changes, they're not that difficult if you know PHP.

[ROL]

Drew, I've been following this thread for a while now, and it might be helpful to read this (http://www.rangeoflightphotography.com/pages/webmarketing), if you haven't already. The following might be worth considering:


Compelling images
Descriptions and stories of your process
Links to other sites and venues
Having a site you can easily update and add tags to without having to go into code (i.e., CMS)


FYI: This (http://bendewell.com/OldROLHTML/index.html) is a link to my circa 2005 static HTML based site, and this (http://www.rangeoflightphotography.com/) to my current 2010 flexible CMS site. Updating the old site required a repetitive nightmare of making new pages and links for both text and images (and tags), uploaded from my computer. The CMS site is "cloud" based, for all intents and purposes, and other than uploading images to the host server, nearly everything else from writing entire articles, to changing the look and feel (skin), or adding a single comma, is done from any computing device quickly and easily (if not always intuitively) on the site's back end software.

[Drew Bedo]

My thanks to Mike and Brian.

ROL:
Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I have looked at both of your websites and ejjoy them both. I like the overall appearance and legability—and the photography is great.

1. Compelling images
Well—I hope visitors to my site find the images compelling. I am working on that all the time.
2. Descriptions and stories of your process
I as part of my evolving marketing effort, some of my images are now available on
<a href=" http://www.artsyhome.com/search?keyword=Drew Bedo&category=" target="_blank">Artsy Home<a></p>

Each picture there has a description/story with tags and so on. Each description has a link to my Quiet Light site. The goal is to modify the Quiet Light site to approximate (as much as it is possible) the presentation on Artsy Home—without a total reconfiguration.
3. Links to other sites and venues
Quiet Light has a Links page and a few links in the text on the Purchas page. Other links are on the Events page. Are these links effective in SEO?
4. Having a site you can easily update and add tags to without having to go into code (i.e., CMS).
When my site was totally rebuilt in’08, ease of content control was the goal. I understand that total control is easier now. I am not yet ready to make a complete change to another system but will hold that open for the near to mid future.

PHP and CMS are terms I am not familiar with. I have heard the term “cloud” used on TV but commercials today seem so obscure to me now, I don’t understand many of them and “cloud” hasn’t sunk in.

I was trained in computer use in 2007 at a school for the blind on Windows XP. When I got a computer to use it had Windows Vista and that was a challenge toadapt to. I finally found an ad-on (plug-in/app?) that shows the older XP style drop-down menus. I can work with it now. I feel the need to upgrade my desk top unit but Windows-8 seems to be an even bigger change. Moving to an Apple system is even more intimidating. Guess I’m hopeless.

I will make incremental adjustments to my existing site while learning what must be done to re-build it with the current software technology.

Cheers to all

My last post here wasn't a joke, just a link to and quick summary of a page about google's position on <meta> tags.

I'm just posting possibly useful info in this thread on the topic of SEO as I come across it.

[r.e.]

Just wondering how anyone here manages their seo.

Any tips or tricks?

I think that social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest are rapidly undermining the utility, for most people, of static web sites, and that social networks are challenging the very idea of search engines, let alone the idea of improving one's search engine rank.

I find myself using Google search less and less, and more and more, SEO just sounds passé.

[Brian C. Miller]

None of the code you posted is visable to me when I log in as an administrator.

You are correct, the alt="text goes here" tag isn't visible. You add it in yourself. It goes inside the < and > brackets.

Have you thought about going through some tutorials? Adding little bits and pieces here and there isn't that bad once you get the hang of it.

(and no, I don't know what Marfa was writing about, that went over my head, too.)

OK r.e., but the images must be posted somewhere with pricing and contact information—right? How does an artist sell through FaceBook or Twitter? Money and product must change hands somehow. Is PayPal on Twitter?

I'm not saying I know—I don't.

[eddie]

O Money and product must change hands somehow. Is PayPal on Twitter?


why not set up your own mechant credit card accout? i have done that. i should have a new e commerce web site up in the next 10-14 days (non camera related) and i have found a merchant account that charges me 1/12%! yes you read it right....1/12%! $26 per month gateway and PCI fee.....that is it! so as you can imagine i will be working to get away from paypal altogether (i have been trying to get out from under their increasing "rules" for some time). i am going to try to figure out if i can use my merchant account for ALL my e bay sales from now on......lets see if i can figure that out....i know it is possible.

if anyone can help to make sure my SEO stuff for my website is "correct" please PM me and i will show you what i have. my guy is confident he is doing everything correct but additional eyes/brains never hurts.

eddie

[Drew Bedo]

Sounds good Eddie.

So how does this work with Twitter and FaceBook?


Currently, I am marketing my art work through www.artsyhome.com and they take care of billing, sales tax and all that with a few clickc from the customer. I just ship the work and they send me a check. Some of my work is offered at a commission and some is offered commission free (that is; in some cases they take a cut and in some cases not).


My professional website directs potential customers to Artsy Home to complete a tranaction. I do not offer my art work on e-bay.

What r.e. was saying was that this website model will become passe. My question is: Howdoes the social media retail model actually work?

[Mike Anderson]

Facebook is no substitute for a website for marketing, one of the main reasons is that only Facebook members can see your Facebook page.

Twitter isn't much of a marketing tool unless you have something to link to (website, FB page, etc.).

You can use these social networking things to augment a website, all it take is time and energy.

[r.e.]

Facebook is no substitute for a website for marketing, one of the main reasons is that only Facebook members can see your Facebook page.


The whole point of Facebook Pages is that you don't have to be a member of Facebook to see and interact with them. For example: http://www.facebook.com/cocacola

[r.e.]

What r.e. was saying was that this website model will become passe. My question is: Howdoes the social media retail model actually work?

Have a look at this: http://www.wired.com/business/2012/10/walmart-facebook/

At the end of the day, it's just as easy to connect a social network presence to a retail sales content management system as it is to connect Google search to a retail sales content management system. The difference is that the former is proactive (aggressively selling) and the latter is passive (waiting for the customer to come in the door).

With respect, I think that a lot of the people here who bash Twitter aren't actually using it and don't understand how important it is becoming. Just about everyone who has a brand, or wants to create one, is using it. It isn't much of a leap to figure out that visibility on Twitter can be converted into sales (or, as in the last few days, help for a lot of New Yorkers affected by Sandy, whether it is Twitter calls for volunteers to show up at an address in Red Hook or call a telephone number or to go to a static site to make a donation).

[Frank Petronio]

Right, it depends how you set the privacy controls. I keep the professional page public and the personal page extra private, works well for sharing photos with exactly the intended audience. Now if FB didn't butcher the photos...

[Mike Anderson]

The whole point of Facebook Pages is that you don't have to be a member of Facebook to see and interact with them. For example: http://www.facebook.com/cocacola

I just now checked to see the difference between what a member and a nonmember can see and do. Nonmembers, after closing the signup screen, can see an ad for Coke but can't do much participating or interacting without signing up. Most clicking paths lead to a sign up screen.

(If you are a FB member, you can open that link in privacy or incognito mode so FB doesn't know you're a member, then you can see how it looks to 'outsiders'.)

[r.e.]

Mike, my point is that the network model is about interactive communication and the search engine model is passive, and that both models can be connected to retail sales content management systems. See my comments three posts up :)

[Mike Anderson]

Mike, my point is that the network model is about interactive communication and the search engine model is passive, and that both models can be connected to retail sales content management systems. See my comments three posts up :)

Understood. My point is that facebook excludes most internet users so it's not a good substitute for a website. Augment a website, sure.

[Drew Bedo]

What I am getting from the last few posts is that social networking is another way to bring additional traffic to an existing website.

I will still need a web presence to present my work to the public. . .however it is that someone finds it.

Do I have that right?

[Drew Bedo]

For the entirety of this thread, I feel like THAT GUY asking what is the best single camera -lens combination for landscape, architecture and studio portraiture.

[Brian C. Miller]

For the entirety of this thread, I feel like THAT GUY asking what is the best single camera -lens combination for landscape, architecture and studio portraiture.

Well, this is an area that is weird and confusing even for the main players. Our society's information connections are still evolving, and are by no means static. The main players of yesteryear have gone from top dog to bottom feeder. Some are still flying high, and some are on their way up. Somewhere, the next big thing is being written, and nobody knows what it is. Content delivery to the consumer is important, especially when you don't have a real store front.

TED talk about how something goes viral. You need a "tastemaker" (or "connector"), a community of participation, and something unexpected.

First, you need something unexpected.
Second, you need someone that people pay attention to, to get your info out there.
Third, the community relays it, and sometimes participates in producing variations.

[Drew Bedo]

Great info.

Not sure how to post a videos here.

I've got two interviews posted to U-Toob . . .how can they be posted here?

On the quick-reply box, the third icon graphic from the right looks like two frames of 35mm. Click on that, and paste the YouTube URL into it.

The part that you need to put in is the URL (URI) component, i.e., the stuff in the src="" part. (http://www.youtube.com/embed/4P2xhGBHbZI) Try it again, with just the URL part.

They are both on my profile page at artsyhome.com . Dunno if they will go on my webpage, its all html. I will see what can be done.

Ok—Wow—If I had known it could be done just with a cun-n-paste in 2010 I would have done it then!

Thanks!

It's easy. Go to the youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P2xhGBHbZI&feature=player_embedded), click on the "Share" button, then click on the "Embed" button and the code you need is displayed:


<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4P2xhGBHbZI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Then just paste that in your webpage where you want it.

Got-er-done!
