My Stash of Photo Citation Opportunities

This post was originally published at Nightlitemedia.com.

We are always looking for new citation opportunities; spots no one else thinks to look. Recently I did a post on video citation opportunities, which I have since put into practice, and am continuing to see great standings.

Since our team is in the digging mood, a couple weeks back we decided to go find some other photo citation opportunities. In the past we had been using only Panoramio, Flickr and Picasaweb, which still seems like more than what our competitors do. However recently Panoramio has tightened up, and we are finding some of the photos we are uploading are getting pulled down. Because we create a brand new account, and submit seldomly, they are being flagged as spam. So, in addition to creating a work around, we set out to find new alternatives. Here is our complete list:

In case you don’t already know, by NAP I mean is there a place where you can sneak in Name, Address and Phone Number. Geotag means that the site will ask you something like, “where was this photo taken?” and allow you to fill in an address -this is a good thing! And finally, backlink is the opportunity to leave a link going back to your site.

Before uploading the pics, I would suggest running the pics through Exifer, Geosetter or Photolinker so as to embed the image with even more juicy geo data.

Please let me know if I am missing any big ones : )
