The above screen capture is from my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jsloss"> flickr account</a>. The huge spike in traffic came from the most random of places, a Phish (the band) message board.
It just goes to show that you can never really tell where a big spike in attention is going to come from. It never would have happened if I didn't upload my photos and tag them with relevant meta data. The key, make content easy to share. How?- Posting your photos is key, leaving them on your memory card because you think no one will like them is not. (marking them as Creative Commons can help too)
- Make them discoverable by adding tags (aka meta data). In this example it was The Gorge, Camping, tags that made the difference. Phish is playing at the gorge, and people wanted to know what camping there was like. My photos did the trick.
So what?
