Question

How can I get my photos to become more popular on Flickr?

Answer 1

1. Make sure you have a good camera. Nobody wants to look at blurry or grainy pictures, they want to look at clear, high quality photography.



2. Tag your photos. When you tag a picture of yours, anybody that searches for that tag will see your pictures.



3. Join groups. Join the groups related to your pictures, people browsing the groups will see your work too, that way.



4. Show them to your friends, and ask them to show their friends! If you have good pictures, people will notice.



5. Be unique. You'll get more views if you are creative and original with what you do.



6. Comment other people. If you comment others they will look back at what you have done, and they're likely to comment back on what they think of your pictures, too.

Answer 2

Take pictures of a variety of things. I've been on flickr for a while too. I'm not a 'popular' person, but I've learned that if you comment others/add them as a contact, you'll get a lot more activity on your photos.

Answer 3

Put them in lots of group pools, popular groups and rating groups are the best. And comment on a lot of people's pictures. Make yourself known and more people will check out your work.

Answer 4

well people always love unique pics and usually of landscapes so start finding some good backgrounds and you should get a camera with a wider lens for a better pic

Answer 5

threatening people won't get them on your site i should change your attitude

Answer 6

sexual explicit photos are not allowed on flickr:)



i have some ideas i use:



1) tag your pictures. if you pictured a flower add tags like "flower, flowers, bloom,macro,nature, summer" and so on. so when someone surfs for pictures related to one of the tags your picture will appear on the search!



2) add your pictures to some groups (so called 'pools'). if you've pictured your dog search for pool that is dedicated to dog pictures. you will be astonished how many pools you find. there are many different pools: lip prints photos pool, colorful photos pool, vegan food photos pool and so on and so on :)



3) geotag your pictures. it means you can point the location where you've taken the photo. so when someone on flickr wants to view pictures taken in your location, he/she will see your pictures.



also people like to view pictures that are good in quality, so if some photo is too much blurred better don't upload it.



oh and as someone already said: the more unique and crazy picture is the more attention it gets :)



last but not the least:) leave some comments under pictures uploaded by others!
