Considerations when posting

You are now probably aware of the benefits within your post of back links to your main website. I would like to take this one step further by asking you to consider other members, who do not work in the same area as yourself. My ultimate goal is to get this blog on the top of page 1 of all photography related search queries. This is turn will benefit each and every member as your own website will be behind it at No 2 for the relevant keywords.

In order to do this we must give some consideration as to how we post our copy. I'm sure that your all aware of the meaning of "NY Glam Tog" but this is not what end user's will search for. It is far better to include the term New York Fashion Photographer, as this will account for the majority of search queries for this keyword term.

If, on every post you would be so kind as to include a search term that is out of your scope, it will assist all of us in the long term. Please do not spam the post by including the keyword term more than once. You also need to give the keyword term a strong emphasis by formatting the text in bold. It also helps if you include the term within your post labels.

If we can assist each other in any way, we will all reap rewards in the future.

Edit Your Profile

Down the left hand side of the page there is a heading titled "The Photographers". Under this heading are links to each members profile as they appear on the site. As your profile may be the first thing visitor's click on, I would urge you all to give some consideration as to how your profile reads. This "first impression" of you and your business should come across in a positive and professional manner.

This should be your "shop window" and inform any readers of the service's that you offer and a little about your business in general. I would also request that all profile page copy is written in English. The website can be translated in to other languages as required by the end user.

Please also ensure that you include a valid email address within your profile so as potential clients can contact you.
