Where to shove your photoblog?
Starting a photoblog today is quite inexpensive - hosting has recently become more accessible, and literally for $ 100 a year you can ensure a very good existence in the Internet space with dot-py (this is not a company, just a domain location). At the same time, you can even make money to pay back a little - good, today both Google and Yandex make it possible to make money on contextual advertising (this is for those who think that a hundred bucks a year is too much for a person).
However, even having started your photo blog, you will immediately encounter the problem that there is no one to show photos. That, in fact, is not surprising - it is quite possible that even the search engines did not have time to index your new site. However, even when they are indexed, there will be little benefit from this. However, if you post a picture on the photoblog with the name “Britney Spears boobs photo” (a completely killer name for which Yandex can attract attention as a porn resource, as a result, if you believe their new algorithm, people will go to you for a very long time ), people will go pretty quickly, but it will not last long.
To say that the Internet audience is grateful is a lie. If you take the statistical majority, then 80% of your blog visitors will be search engines and spam bots, and the latter will write such heresy in the comments, which will immediately discourage the desire to attract visitors in general. However, we will not consider cases of Internet retreat, considering that most photobloggers (these are people who have their own blogs for photos) suffer from healthy exhibitionism, i.e. the desire to show something to the world: no matter what it is, good or eternal.

So, visitors need somewhere to take, and only friends will be completely insufficient: today, even some pets have their own pages, to which no one goes, except the owner. Naturally, we will assume that you have good and interesting photos ...
Usually, the “easiest” way to attract viewers is to register in catalogs and on specialized online resources (however, sometimes a “unpretentious” publication in a magazine, like the Photo Workshop , can bring millions of visitors out of nowhere, another thing is that there is no way to get there) and usually just a beginner and difficult to find the “same” list of resources where you can shove your photoblog (believe me, nobody needs your photoblog, so you shouldn’t have any illusions that someone else will lead it for you, instead of you or with you m, by the way, hence the name).
What can be done in this case:
As for the behavior on the Internet, you just need to realize that the network is just the reality of the new time, and without activity on your part here, everything will stall and die. Today, it is not enough just to do something - you have to show it to the world, and try to do it with all the forces available to you, otherwise it just won't work.
Good luck and good frames.

What can be done in this case:
- If you have an account in LiveJournal (and others like them), be sure to enter the address of your photoblog in the settings of the journal itself, and in the photoblog script connect the module / plug-in / addon for crossposting photos into your journal - it will even be easier to live (for add-on searching just search the support forums for the string “ lj crosspost ” - there are solutions for common ones like WP or Pixelpost).
- Register on “Photo site ” and in your personal profile, again, indicate the address of your site - all photo sites should be replenished regularly, so get ready for work.
- Similarly help registration Hiero.ru , Flamber.ru , Fotokritik.ru .
- Foreign photo sites can also help: Flickr! DeviantArt
- Get a profile on copi.ru and add your site there.
- Register on the profile forums and be sure to include a link to your website: forum.ixbt.com , club.foto.ru , etc. - the main thing is that the link is reflected in the author’s profile.
- Register with Western blogging resources — many of them, by the way, pull out your photos via RSS and allow them to be shown there, which is why people can come to you, and publication efforts are not required, everything is done automatically: CoolPhotoBlogs , FForum , Photoblogs , VFXY , BlogFlux , PhotoRama , Photoblog Community , Blogarama .
- Russian resources for photoblogs (as yet undeveloped industry): Best Russian photoblog , Photorate .
- Rating systems: Photos , Rambler Top , Mail.Ru-Top , Yandex.Catalog , Top-Photo .
- There are individual approaches, such as: you can get acquainted with other photobloggers, exchange links, comment on other photoblogs in order to get a response (note that the 10% rule applies here - ten comments come back to you one), write articles for others (by the way, we also publish) or translate articles for other resources.
As for the behavior on the Internet, you just need to realize that the network is just the reality of the new time, and without activity on your part here, everything will stall and die. Today, it is not enough just to do something - you have to show it to the world, and try to do it with all the forces available to you, otherwise it just won't work.
Good luck and good frames.
