Learn from my mistakes. Be careful how you use Flickr
My website uses a lot of photos.
Compared to other websites which are photo heavy, I get very little traffic from Google and ZERO traffic from Google images. (I managed to look at referring traffic from sites on ProjectWonderful)
I went into Google images and realized that as far as it is concerned, I have no images on my site. All the links go back to Flickr. In stead of getting hundreds (if not thousands) of visitors per week from Google Image searching, I get nothing.
I'm going to have to go through each of my daily photos and change the link and create a copy of the image on my site.
What is worse, is that I have been telling other bloggers to use Flickr. I'll still use Flickr, but not for anything which shows up on my website.
