Oh yeah, it was purely from an SEO standpoint.
Not quite sure how to encourage people to share my stuff from or on Pinterest yet.

Ok, so you're into sharing the links rather than posting the pictures then?

Google+ for photographersposted in Social Media
What do you think is the best approach when it comes to using Google+ as a photographer?
The images have no real SEO benefit, but the ones I post seem to get shared more, +1ed more than posting a link to one of my blog posts with a preview image.
What do you think is the best way to approach this problem?

Maybe because my blog is now on blog.celynnenphotography.co.uk and I've just told Bing and Google about it?

Not alt tags but Title and description Meta: My designer's answer.posted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
Hello! I was busy doing lots of key wording for my images which I hate and notices that when viewed in source code, the different places I inputed information translated into Title and Description meta tags but NO alt tags. As I'm a a photographer, it's really important to me that I make the most of my images to get increased traffic so I challenged the people behind my website about it. This is their response to the question:
"We all know how important the alt tags are for image SEO so why does
the design allows Title, Description and Keyword image tags but not alt
tags?"Unfortunately, there is no way to add an alt tag and title tag specifically to an image display page. However, as you have pointed out here, we use other elements that essentially accomplish the same thing.
Each image display page does have its own page title and meta description, as you have also noticed. For the title, we use the IPTC Headline field (if there is no headline, then we use IPTC Title, and if there is no title, then we go to file name), and for the meta description, we use both the IPTC caption as well as the keywords - so all of that information is embedded on the image display page with the image itself and search engines can index this content.
Alt Text data intends to given contextual information to search engines when they crawl your site, and the IPTC metadata that shows along with your images, does this as well."
What is your opinion on that answer?

Does having a few URLs pointing to another url via 301 "create" duplicate content?posted in Algorithm Updates
Hello!
I have a few URLs all related to the same business sector.
Can I point them all at my home domain or should I point them to different relevant content within it?

Yeah, I get what you mean about the silly hovering thing...
But as far as you're concerned, neither way will provide any SEO boost?

RE: Blog links: Going out or staying in?posted in Link Building
I just wonder what is best in term of SEO.
This is the link http://celynnenphotography.co.uk/links/wedding-venues/
Is it better to send traffic back into my own website or is it better to send traffic out to "reputable" websites?

Blog links: Going out or staying in?posted in Link Building
I am a wedding photographer and have a "Venues" page on my website.
Am I better associating the links to the venue's actual website or to a blog post featuring a wedding I did there? (PS: In the blog post there will be a post aiming at the venue's website.)
Thanks!

Wordpress Socialize Plugin giving me 400+ 302s. Should I be concerned?posted in Social Media
Looking at my report and saw I had over 400 302s. When I looked where they came from, it seems it's from a plugin called socialize sending stuff to Facebook.
Does it matter?
