Upgrade Report:

I recommend the NextGEN Photo Gallery plugin.  After literally years of trying one photo gallery script after another, I’ve been using NextGEN for eight months on a variety of websites – and I just keep getting happier and happier with it.

Example Photo Gallery

I’ve started to compile screen shots from the websites of clients I have served, and placing them within my version of NextGEN gallery as a way for people to see my work, but also as a means of demonstrating why I’m so happy with this WordPress plugin.

Adding Relevant Images Automatically

NextGEN has the option to automatically include images from your photo gallery that match the tags for each individual post.

In other words, if I write a post and tag it with the term ‘atikokan’ – wee thumbnail images from my photo gallery that are tagged ‘atikokan’ are automatically added beneath my blog post. (see below)

Great for Visitors, Great for Search Engines!

Here are the simple steps I followed:

1. Add the screen shots to a gallery.
2. Customize the Title and Description for each image.  (Write for the reader, not the search engines)
3. Customize the Tags for each picture. (use keywords that represent the content of the image)

That’s it!  It’s that easy. If you have a lot of pictures from your old website to transfer over – be sure to plan time to properly label each image with a Title, Description and Tags – it’s the most vital step of all.

Your Blog is an attraction strategy to bring people to your website, and the NextGEN Gallery helps engage your visitors with your content and your marketing message.

What’s more, linking your content together with tags will help to increase the relevance of your content and thereby boost your rankings in the search engines!

While marketing on the internet will always change and evolve, links will always be the currency.

Links are the DNA of the Internet.

Currently, many search engines rank web pages based on the links pointing to them, and what those links are saying about them.

With this basic tenant in mind, I have found new and lasting success in marketing new content and new offers by turning to the proliferation of Web 2.0 sites where I can set up social profiles and publish themed articles.

To promote this new content, I created a short article that introduced the new fishing videos linked back into the new video section. I posted the new article to a popular document sharing website and to a blog I had previously created.

These Web 2.0 site placements are very powerful for themeing the links that are pointing to my new content, which is important for my search engine rankings, but more than that, these Web 2.0 placements bring REAL traffic of visitors who subscribe and purchase.

Once I spread the marketing article around, and integrated into, to as many of these big Web 2.0 properties as I can, then I start bookmarking.

I entrench the new content into the ‘fishing video niche’ with an account on StumbleUpon that has a list of friends who also stumble fishing websites. Again – this is great for the search engines – BUT it also brings REAL traffic of people who subscribe, download, sign up and purchase.

Another layer of Web 2.0 Marketing involves posting to the Video Sharing sites. The same benefits of additional search engine ranking for your main site – and the same opportunity to have real people visit your offer and start building a relationship with your business…
