>>>I suspect that there are many photography sites out there full of
excellent work that get very few visitors, simply because there's no
mechanism for people to find the site other than word of mouth,
basically. Search engines can't find good photos! They find words,
though, like nobody's business - just go to google.com and type in "bulldog
sauce
typography" to see my picture of a sauce bottle, that has probably
received more views than many a superior shot, just because it's
surrounded by words.<<<<

One thing that helps is specialization. If you photograph dogs in all shapes
and sizes, both cute and pedigree, then your site may get more hits. Photo
buyers will generally not go to "gallery" sites. They need a photograph and
tend not to take the time to browse your general portfolio in hopes of
finding the image they are looking for, unless you are very well known in
the market.

If someone is looking of an image of bulldog sauce, they will find your
image. They will not find it if your site is titled "my pictures." or "my
gallery, portfolio, etc.." They may find it if you specialize in sauces and
the search engine hits on images of sauces or sauce images or even cooking
photography.

Take care,
