An Unexpected Way to Get Traffic from Flickr
Our Roamsters.com travel blog receives a little bit of traffic from the pictures that I upload to Flickr.
But I discovered another way that blogger photographers can get traffic when I received the following message about the picture shown here to the left.
Your photo(s) shown below have been short-listed for inclusion in the third edition of our Schmap Vancouver Guide, to be published mid-November 2007.
While we offer no payment for publication, many photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as Schmap Guides give their work recognition and wide exposure, and are free of charge to readers. Photos are published at a maximum width of 150 pixels, are clearly attributed, and link to high-resolution originals at Flickr.
If you would like your short-listed photo(s) to continue to our Vancouver Guide final selection phase, please read our ‘Terms of Submission’ and press the ‘Submit’ button, no later than our editorial submission deadline – Sunday, November 11.
I set the credit to go to Roamsters.com and accepted the invitation.
I’ve also granted another ‘permission to use photo’ request for a photo to be used in Trail Blazer Magazine which will also be credited to roamsters.com.
Who knows? All it takes is one visitor from the Vancouver Schmap Guide or Trail Blazer magazine to visit the site, make a big buck purchase and my 1-minute picture upload and responses to their requests will have been very worthwhile.

I could never imagine that Flickr would pay off, in terms of anything besides free picture hosting, because they do NOT share ad revenue with it’s free users. In addition, aren’t they in competition with Flixya?
its a great way to get high rates website links. and also, its another way for people to find you. i get 1/3 of my traffic from the photos/images/art on my website. people search for an image, one of mine pops up, and people click to my site to see what its about. so don’t discount photos.
