What I found was that people were visiting my pages who, for the most part, had no interest in designing websites or SEO, but were still interested in something I had. I soon realized that this could be a very good way to get traffic to my site. It wasn&#8217;t traffic targeted to most of my content, but still I believe that all traffic is good.<\/p>\n<p>I first thought about what I could use to best bring me more traffic. The Pittsburgh Zoo is building a <a href=\"https:\/\/lillicotch.com\/Photos\/2006-Pittsburgh-Zoo.html\">new exhibit<\/a> for polar bears, walruses and sea otters which was just beginning. I thought when this is completed quite a few people will be searching for this so I started to take pictures of the construction as it went along. I noticed that the more pictures that I put up the more searchers would find me for this. I am hoping that one of the local popular sites (TV or newspaper) will link to me once the exhibit opens. It could be huge.<\/p>\n<p>All of this brings me to a post I found recently by Tony Hill called &#8220;How to dominate image searches&#8221;. It contains more good advise that I&#8217;m going to use.<\/p>\n<h3><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tony-hill.net\/2006\/10\/18\/how-to-dominate-image-searches\/\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I first started my site I thought I would put some photos on my site to fill some space and to give people an idea of my varied talents.
