Last week I wrote 10 tips to optimise your LinkedIn profile, this week I’ve decided to follow on from that with 10 tips to getting started with Flickr. This is meant as a guide to show how you can use Flickr’s photo sharing to generate traffic, optimise for the search engines, build your reputation and gain SEO value.
