Re-add your photos to groups<br />

Maybe this is a bit a spammer's<br />

approach, but you can re-add<br />

your photos to the groups of<br />

your choice after a certain time.<br />

Especially to get good photos<br />

even more seen. There are so<br />

many photos in certain groups<br />

that your upload might not get<br />

recognized. Therefore you just<br />

re-add them one week later<br />

again to certain groups. Delete it<br />

first and then add it again. Sorry,<br />

this is working and sometimes<br />

you should use this feature, just<br />

to re-promote some of your best<br />

photos from time to time.<br />

Share uploaded photos<br />

In Flickr you can share your photos with your Twitter and Facebook contacts<br />

just with 2 clicks. Use this feature as not everybody is on Flickr the whole day.<br />

In Facebook they may see your posts and will look at, comment and fave your<br />

photo. This might be another resource to bring traffic to your photo stream.<br />

On Twitter they may get re-tweeted and then you get even more attention.<br />

The Flickr Explore<br />

There is the Explore feature in Flickr where the best 500 photos per day are<br />

visible. This is a bit of a black box to me and I'm not sure, how you get listed<br />

there. It's a combination of views, comments and favorites, combined with<br />

the amount of groups a photo is in. If you want to get listed on Explore, you<br />

may have to follow another strategy than adding it to as many groups as possible.<br />

There is a service called Scout from BigHugeLabs where you can see, if<br />

you were ever listed on the Explore page of Flickr. I will talk about this feature<br />

in detail in the next chapter.
