How to get more Photo views
I hope I am not opening a can of worms. I was just wondering How I can get more photo views. Jun 05 12 08:05 am Link Okay I viewed your photos. Have a nice day  ~ MR Jun 05 12 08:13 am Link Shoot nudes. They don't even have to be that good. Why are photo views all that important? Edit: I am being serious. Shouldn't you be more concerned with getting qualified leads rather than simply more quantity? Jun 05 12 08:18 am Link Images by MR wrote: Haha, very funny Jun 05 12 08:18 am Link Post on the forums often. Post announcements on the front page. Post in shout. Comment/tag people who's work you like. Enter the various contests around the site. Jun 05 12 08:37 am Link JAE Photography PA wrote: Yep. Do those things and I think you'll get more views.

Although if you're just looking to bump up views, it doesn't really matter if you like their work. Jun 05 12 08:49 am Link I was told a long time ago that full on nudes get more views that artistic nudes. I have certainly found that to be true on my own page. Jun 05 12 09:08 am Link I have no advice to give, OP, but I will say I think you are a good photographer.

You have a great portfolio, but your current avatar is one of your weakest shots Why is this not your avatar ? He even looks like a "Chesterfield"  Jun 05 12 03:00 pm Link Chesterfield Hector wrote: Look at other people's photos. Make a mental note to how you found them and then repeat the inverse. Jun 05 12 03:36 pm Link I viewed   Jun 05 12 04:15 pm Link damned if i know lol. i post in forums and semi-regularly make announcements, but it doesn't really work. maybe i need to set myself on fire and run around nekkid?  actually the nekkid part would probably help the most... *sigh* Jun 05 12 04:21 pm Link IraMonko wrote: personal validation maybe?

Also, Id say comment on pictures of people from your area, they will be more likely to check your stuff because there is a possibility of working togeva. Personally I don't normally view pictures of people outside UK (only if I'm really impressed and have time), but maybe it's just me.

Isn't it more important to have your target client view your work? Jun 05 12 04:38 pm Link More boobs. It's the ticket to views.

I try to change my avatar every few days to keep profile fresh. It really does seem like I need to shoot sexier(tasteful) photos to get noticed.

Jun 05 12 08:30 pm Link Having 5,000 views isn't even going to win you a free cup of coffee Just focus on making something good to view! The rest will work itself out.Jun 05 12 08:32 pm Link Chesterfield Hector wrote: Have good photos? Jun 05 12 10:36 pm Link Chesterfield Hector wrote: Why do you want more views? Is there a prize?

Jun 06 12 04:53 am Link OP, are you asking how to literally up the number of photo views, or how to get more people to come to your page and look around, etc? Jun 06 12 04:58 am Link I agree with most other posters that the number of views you have is really not all that important. Yes, it feels nice when you see how many views an image has, but does it mean anything? When I am casting for a model I don't base my decision on the number of image views, lists or comments they have. In addition to the suggestions of being more active on the site, you might want to consider a female model as your avatar. This site certainly has more female models than male and more photographers that shoot women than men. Female models looking for a photographer are probably more likely to click through to view a profile of a photographer with a female model. And male photographers looking for inspiration for a shoot, or just to see pretty pictures of women, will click on a female avatar. So if views is your priority then it might help. Of course, that may hurt in your attempt to network with male models. You do great work with men, definitely in the minority on this site in that respect, but to get more views show off your shots of women. Just my $0.02 Jun 06 12 05:20 am Link Thanks, My avatar changes everytime I come on here, it was girl up until yesterday. I made it that picture because its my picture with the most comments. Up until yesterday, it was agirl in a swimsuit. Jun 06 12 05:39 am Link If your on Facebook post a link to your MM page also. Or whatever social site you use and vice versa. Asking for a critique of your port might do the trick. By the way nice pics and keep up the good work! Jun 06 12 05:53 am Link I feel the exact same way, I mean yes I can post on the forums board, but is there any other ways?

Jun 09 12 04:56 am Link Views also depend on where you're located (US gets most), your fame and are exponential, once you're well established everyone will have a look. Subject is also important too, several people have mentioned that nudes tend to get more looks than other pics, but ones with unusual qualities that stand out will attract attention or those of a specific genre, for example some people will look at every fantasy or sci pic in a port Jun 09 12 06:36 am Link JAE Photography PA wrote: Great advise...
