Thinking of Joining? - Read This First.

Welcome to the Photographers Blog. By joining and regularly contributing to the content of this blog you will raise awareness of the services you have to offer. As I write there are 99 openings left (Google limits this to 100 users at present) and I would like to see a good mix of professionals from around the globe. With this in mind, openings will be restricted at first to just 5 photographers per country.

What you can do on this blog
  • Post news and press releases.
  • Post backlinks to your own or another member's website.
  • Include your keywords within the post copy and backlink them to your website.
  • Post images and videos that are relevant to your or another members services and business.
  • Network with other members.
  • Advertise for any photography related equipment that you have for sale or is wanted.
  • Add a marketing linked banner in the page margins (for a small monthly fee).
  • Add contact information and enclosure links to your posts.
  • Add keywords (labels) to your posts to reflect those on your website.
  • Advertise your workshops, holidays and photography services.
  • Add your details to the directory (for a small monthly fee).
What you must do.
  • All posts and other related text must be written in English.
  • Use the default font on all posts to keep the site looking uniform.
What you cannot do.
  • Post or link to adult material of any description. This includes posting images, links, references to and the like. If you choose to ignore this, you will be removed from the blog and all posts and links will be deleted.
  • You cannot link to external sites that are not relevant to the content. Sure that You Tube video of the guy with his head in the washing machine is funny - but it's not relevant. The same goes for suppliers of photographic equipment. You can mention in you post that such and such a store is selling a lens 30% cheaper than anyone else, but you cannot link to the web page. Any links of this type will be removed without notice.
  • Email me requesting help on how to put html code in to your posts - I'm sorry I just do not have time to deal with this. You are more that welcome to post your issue though, and someone may be able to help you.
I will be searching the web and inviting professionals whom I think will benefit the blog to start with, so we get some good people on board quickly.

If your happy with the above terms, please Email me and request to join. I will try to respond to all requests within 24 hours.

Simon
