You can't, or it doesn't work, or something. You write stuff about things relating to your photography. If you write up a product shoot, that's exactly the sort of thing that people will find on searches more or less related; they will take a quick look, bookmark, go away, then someone on a mailing list will ask about something, and they'll say, "Hmm, saw a good site on that the other day". Here comes the Weak Link - their brain - can they remember how they bookmarked it. Anyway, it's precisely abuse of metatags (How can I show my visitors a dissertation on stellated icosahedra, while showing the search engines sex, tits, bums, and mp3, or more likely the other way round) that causes people like google to decide to ignore them.
