In fact, there&#8217;s a lot you can do with your photo blog to make sure you get the maximum search engine benefit from your visual content. Here are some tips.</p>
<p><strong>Name Your Photos</strong></p>
<p>One of the first things you should do, before you even upload any photos to your blog, is make sure they have names that reflect what they are. If a photo is called DSCN2000 or PICT8500m, how are the search engines going to know what the photo shows? On the other hand, if you call your photo &#8216;Rhode-island-casino&#8217; then there&#8217;s no mistake about what&#8217;s in the picture. It&#8217;s also helpful to resize your photos to the maximum size you want them to display before you upload them &#8211; this will help with page loading speed which search engines love. And when you get around to uploading your pics, then make use of ALT tags to provide additional information. Search engines love those too, and it&#8217;s also helpful for people with visual impairments who are using a screen reader or other accessibility device. Use the image name for the ALT tags and it will be obvious to every site visitor what your images show.</p>
<p><strong>Titles and Links</strong></p>
<p>What is your photo blog post about? Does the page title tell you? If it doesn&#8217;t, it should. Now, this doesn&#8217;t mean that you always have to be factual. Sometimes you may want to ask a question about a photo or link photos together in a theme. But generally, use a title that says what readers can expect to see. Titles are also important because they generate permalinks.</p>
<p>Read any advice on SEO, especially for <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> blogs, and it will say that you should make your permalinks pretty. This is crucial. A permalink is the permanent link to your content on your blog and, just like the names of the pictures, these work better when they are short, sweet and descriptive. As we&#8217;ve said, blog software usually generates the permalink from the title, but you don&#8217;t have to use all the words in the title in your permalinks. Take out &#8216;the&#8217;, &#8216;a&#8217;, &#8216;and&#8217; and the like and focus on the main words that people will use to search for your content. While you already know that keywords are important for written content, they are equally important for visual content to help people to find your stuff when they search.</p>
<p>To help yourself with SEO, consider using a plugin such as All in One SEO Pack, Platinum SEO, FLV Simpler SEO or the SEO features built into premium themes from a range of providers. These will encourage you to include optimized titles, keywords and descriptions for your images. This only takes a couple of extra minutes per post, and is totally worth it.</p>
<p><strong>Use Tags and Categories for Better SEO</strong></p>
<p>SEO is not just about search engines, but about helping users to find your content &#8211; the two go together. Clever use of categories and tags can help you achieve both aims. Think of category labels as ways of organizing large collections. For example, you might have photos of buildings, landscapes, people and art &#8211; each of those could be a category. Then you could tag individual photos by color scheme or location. If you have a travel photo blog, then perhaps you want to create categories for each continent, with sub-categories or tags for the different countries. If you&#8217;re writing about cruises, have categories or tags for the different cruise lines (Cunard, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.iglucruise.com/royal-caribbean-cruises">Royal Caribbean</a>, P&amp;O). You get the idea.</p>
<p><strong>Do Some Writing</strong></p>
<p>Just because you have a photo-blog, don&#8217;t ignore the search engine power of text. A couple of lines of description of the photo will give the search engines something additional to crawl and will provide an excerpt when people link to your content. And you need people to link to you, because that will also show that your site is relevant to others in its niche &#8211; and that&#8217;s also good for SEO.</p>
<p>And finally, post regularly and include a sitemap optimized for Google and other search engines. On WordPress blogs you can do this with the Google XML Sitemaps plugin. This will ensure that all your content is crawled and you can sign up for a free account with Google Webmaster Tools so you can check on the progress of your SEO efforts.</p>
<p>We would like to thank Izzy A. Woods for her guest post on optimizing your images for search engines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is summer almost over? Wow, the last three months have been a blur of hard work, taking stabs at solving very difficult problems and thinking about how we could improve our whole site experience. Our main goal was to ensure that the first page of images we displayed in front of any buyer on any given search, would contain the one they couldn&#8217;t leave the site without.</p>
<p>A few updates. We&#8217;re just adding the final touches to the new homepage design, the new account dashboard and the new picture finder we built. We still have a lot of testing but things are looking great AND on track for an end of August release. Our search page interface is one of the simplest to use and let&#8217;s searchers find perfectly matched picture results even when the keyword they used to search might have more than one meaning i.e. bar (Drinks) or bar (Metal).  It&#8217;s a smart blend of some complex search engine filtering and using words to give meaning to other words to find the most accurate images for that search.</p>
<p>Our new pricing system will move us closer to a credit system. However buyers will still get the option to purchase single downloads via a credit card if they want. The credit system is just easier for most buyers today to understand and will allow us to offer the site in multiple currencies to attract new buyers. Also the changes should help keep the costs down from all the tiny micropayment transactions, return a higher percentage of royalties to you and let you know exactly what you will be earning from your daily sales.</p>
<p>Royalties for exclusive content uploaded after Sept. 1 is moving up from 50% to 55% of the sale. Non-exclusive content will stay at 40% like before. Payouts will still be made at $25 when it is reached. We need more exclusive images and illustrations and we want to pay you for it. If you are interested in partnering up with Cutcaster to represent your collection on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, please reach out to us via creativedirector@cutcaster.com or register a <a title="photo sellers account" href="http://cutcaster.com/register">sellers account here. </a></p>

The quality bar keeps getting raised as we reach 1 million images at Cutcaster in the coming months. With that said, we still see gaps in our collection that have created massive opportunities. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cutcaster.com/help/photography-shoot-ideas/" target="_blank">Find out here about what type of images we are actively looking for and are under-represented at Cutcaster</a>. Fill these holes and you might find yourself with a hot seller.</p>
<p>To expand your portfolio into an untapped arena of stock photography, we urge you to create a portion of your portfolio that really shows your “outside of the box&#8221; thinking, i.e. get granddad out there on water-skis, or place your old credit cards in your kitchen’s blender or use Photoshop to create unique situations in your images by combining different elements. Get as creative as possible. Take chances and see what works and doesn’t work. Then carefully keyword and upload your new creative shots to Cutcaster.</p>
<p id="yui_3_2_0_3_13062617485675724">Here are some examples of pictures we currently have but we&#8217;d love to see more of this type of photography and illustrations:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Difference:</p>
<p>Commercial stock photography can be used in posters, ads, promotional brochures, etc. that advertise and/or endorse services or products. One could define it as any photography for which the photographer is paid for images rather than works of art. Commercial images usually include: better than average to normal looking, everyday people or models; subject matter that is politically correct; or the year&#8217;s latest trends, colors and hues. These photos frequently are taken by a commissioned photographer on assignment, or or licensed via a <a href="http://Cutcaster.com">stock photography agency</a> like Cutcaster.com. All images included in commercial stock photography must have a model release signed by the person depicted in the image, since commercial photos purpose are to endorse or help sell a product/brand.</p>
<p>Editorial stock photos are used in magazines, as illustrations in books, educational materials, informational periodicals and electronic media, etc. Generally these images illustrate a story or idea within the context of a published piece of work. Editorial stock photos can include people in real-life situations and capture a specific real life moment in time. Photojournalism is considered a subset of editorial photography. Photographs shot in this context are accepted as a documentation of a newsworthy event. Obviously editorial photos are inherently more unique and content-specific than their counterpart, commercial stock photos. Editorial buyers look for &#8220;authentic&#8221; pictures, not images that appear staged. Model releases are not needed for editorial usage, in most cases, because their purpose is to educate and inform.</p>
