As the search engines are evolving each and every day, it's getting harder
and harder to get top search engine rankings.

The search engines now, highly favor, websites that have a large number of
quality, one way links pointing to them. Because of this, it's absolutely critical
that we consistently try to get other photography websites to link to us, WITHOUT us linking
back to them.

Yes, reciprocal linking is becoming less and less valuable. Submitting your
photography website to relevant website directories is an excellent way to get, quality, 1 way links
pointing to your photography websites. You see, many of the website directories online have
a high amount of page rank and have been online for several years.

These are 2 of the most important criteria for determining what a good link
is, vs what a bad link is. These two criteria are:

1. The age of the website linking to you


2. The Page Rank of the website linking to you

With that said, many of these directories have both a high Page Rank AND are
old websites, giving them more authority and power in the search engines.

Not only that, but there are literally thousands of website directories on
the internet that are absolutely free for you to submit your website to! While
it does take time to find these directories and then manually fill out all of
the required criteria to submit your photography website, it is an excellent way to help
increase your search engine rankings.

There are some good website directory submission software products on the market.
The best of which is a product called Directory Submitter created by Brad Callen.
Esentially you simply enter your website details into the software program 1
time, and then click on any of the 1600+ website directories in the software
and it wil automatically fill in all of the submission criteria for you. Click
the submit button and then your site has been instantly added to the website
directory.

So, not only does it save you time in finding all of these directories, BUT
it saves you an incredible amount of time filling out each and every website's
submission criteria. To learn more about Directory Submitter, visit the link

Here's a free software program that helps you to submit your website to over 300 directories! Directory Submitter reduces this necessary task to a 'piece of cake!'

Having a photography website is nice (and mandatory, of course). But, having a reason to have a website is better. In other words, determining your photography website's purpose is critical to the success of the site.

Of course, a website will help you to show your work. Then what? What do you want the visitor to your site to do?

You may not have answers now. These are just something to consider for efficient and effective use of your website.

By visiting other photography websites you will notice different purposes. Many photographers have very flashy, interactive pages - with sound! Others are simple photo galleries. Some of the owners of the sites have given consideration to the purpose of their respective websites. Most haven't.

Consideration Tips:

• Take your time.


• Consider the options that fit and support your style.


• Be clear on what you want your photography website to do - display your work, sell to customers, expose you locally, worldwide, or both, etc.


• Make sure that your photography website fits you, fits your style and fits your understanding of what you want the purpose of the site to be.
