   I've been loading a bunch of watermarked stock images onto Flickr with a link to GL Stock Images. My images have all the normal keywords, but then I added the tag "Stock Photos". Good idea? Perhaps "Stock Photography"?

   Will those terms show up in Google searches and drive traffic to my Flickr site?

I don't know the answer to your question, but you have to ask yourself how many people go to Flickr hoping to find images they can pay for at a stock agency.
I don't know the answer to that for a fact.
Are you really saying that GL has poor SEO?

(with the new Google, I have lost my handle on what is good SEO anyway.)

Pretty sure that breaks the Flickr terms of service - AFIK you can make commercial references in your profile but not linked to the individual images

Thanks heywoody. You are correct, that it totally violates the TOS. I will correct.

Still, the question remains. Will adding the keyword stock photos to a Flicker image, drive a Google search of stock photos to my Flicker image?

Maybe not in the keywords, but in the description?

I licensed two images directly with a publicher that found one of them through Flickr. (or through a web search tat led to Flickr).

Sellihng directly is OK.
It is definitely against Flickr policy; yet there's at least one Flickr uploader who uses it for a specialty interest group like an online catalogue, ie. all her photos are items she's selling with prices and links, and only last week I saw someone who had in all his descriptions that 'This photo is available on iS and SS'.

As far as I know, what was said above is correct, you're only allowed to mention commerical interests/links in your profile.
