General - Top Sites / How to divert traffics away from istock and fotolia
« on: February 13, 2011, 22:55 »
Hello
Here are some simple steps we do to divert traffic from istock and fotolia to smaller sites. Basically everyone has some kind of website or blogs. Backlinks are very important for search engine rankings. If we can get a few thousands backlinks removed , it would make a lot of difference. I think this is the only way for unhappy contributors to show displeasure of the commission cut
1. Remove all links to istock and fotolia from your website.
2. Remove all your istock and fotolia profile,badge links on forums
3. Remove all refferal links that you spread on the internet. Stop using refferal links from these sites
Create new links on your blog/website all the other middle tier sites. If you don't have one just register a blogspot or wordpress and write a 300 words post write something nice about stock photography, then create links to these sites. Basically search engines eg. google likes good content.
Replace with the keywords below http://www.123rf.com with all the other sites. eg shutterstock, dreamtimes , canstockphoto, veer, bigstock
for example
You may also use the following keywords as href tag description
Keywords by traffic monthly
stock photos 110000
iphoto 90500
free images 74000
free photos 60500
free stock photos 60500
stock photo 60500
free pictures 40500
royalty free images 40500
i stock 33100
and spread this to 5 unhappy microstock photographers.
Cheers!
