Why Blog? Blogging is an excellent way to bring more traffic to your photo website. Any time you upload new photos to your gallery, or have an announcement to make, like you'll be shooting a baseball game this weekend. Blog It! Tell the blogging community and the world about your new images. Create a blog entry that will make them want to see more of your work and put a link to your main photography website from your blog post so they can easily surf to your gallery and maybe buy some photos. As an added bonus the search engines consider the link to your gallery or website from your blog post as a "vote" for your website and the more Links or "votes" for your website, the better your Google Page Rank will get and the better your page rank is, the more traffic you'll get from the search engines.
