How do I get searchable image hosting in the cloud?
-
My company currently uses Picasa to host our images and links to them on our website. However, we'd really love to have our images start showing up in searches. Is there a way to get maintain our Picasa (or use another, similar site) and get the images searched by webcrawlers to say we are the source? Or do we simply need to start hosting all of the images on our own servers? Thanks!

It used to be that you could embed images on your site from another site (like Picasa) and your site would show as the source. I don't know if this is the case. I would probably put them on my server anyways.

Getting Youtube Channel to Appear in Own Brand Search Results
Hi There When searching for a company's name, the company's YouTube channel infrequently appears on page 2, and more often than not a single video is displayed rather than the channel itself. If you search for Moz, there video's appear on page 1. https://www.google.co.uk/search?safe=active&sxsrf=ACYBGNSFXYC_ZW2NSU7MGBPkVLQaKwArZA%3A1574343148737&source=hp&ei=7JHWXamfKrC7gwf1roS4BA&q=moz&oq=moz&gs_l=psy-ab.3..35i39l2j0i67j0i131i67j0i67l6.680.953..1052...0.0..0.86.239.3......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i131.PYRZrWhmps0&ved=0ahUKEwipxYehtfvlAhWw3eAKHXUXAUcQ4dUDCAg&uact=5 I've added a rich schema link on the site to the YouTube channel, but could I ask what else I can do, either on the site or on YouTube to create a stronger connection between our brand name and our YouTube channel? Many Thanks In Advance For Your Assistance

Adult dating site. How can I get people to share content on facebook or google plus..
I am working on http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com an adult dating review website. I want to build a presence on social networks so have set up twitter, google plus, and a facebook page. As I understand it retweets, like, shares etc... Play a significant part in seo. Therefore I want to get as many shares etc as possible. My initial idea was to create a fan page on facebook and pay to promote it on facebook gaining likes on the fan page. Will likes on the fan page impact the main site? I would imagine not? However I can see how someone visiting the main site and liking a post would have a positive effect on rankings. The problem I've come into is facebook won't run the ads as the page is adult so they won't accept paid ads. If I add a post to the facebook page how can I get it in front of people to share or like it? Equally how can I get google plus shares? I'm new to social and am unsure of how I should proceed? Especially as facebook considers the page adult. Finally how important is social. I've read it can get short term wins and optimised posts can appear at the top of search results but don't stay there long. Link building is still the long term strategy?

Is there any SEO benefit to hosting your Facebook photos on your own site?
I will often post photos that I have taken to my Facebook page (either personal or my fan page). Sometimes these can get lots of likes. I got thinking that perhaps I host these photos on my site (i.e. www.example.com/images/photo1.jpg) and then share that "page" on Facebook. That way any of the likes would be counted towards my site. What do you guys think?

Why do people try to get random pictures on the first page of reddit?
I'm fascinated with reddit. Yesterday I did an IAMA and got lots and lots of comments. In the comments I was able to refer back to some pages in my website which got me some traffic. I can see the benefit of getting your website featured on reddit. But, I'm wondering how people benefit from putting random pictures on reddit (that don't link to their sites at all.) Is there something that can be done with the link karma that you get? Am I missing something? btw...I just posted a random picture on reddit just for fun as I realized that my daughter has reddit pajamas: http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/k5kv3/i_just_noticed_that_my_daughter_has_reddit_pajamas/
