Seo using images
-
I have a client that creates a lot of custom jewelry and takes pictures of it. They've been reluctant to part with it for fear of competitors stealing their designs, but I was able to finally wrastle them into submission and get them to release 30+ original images. I had some ideas about it, but I was wondering if you guys could help me brainstorm doing some linkbuilding using these images.
1. tag them all on pinterest
2. create a slideshow using them and upload to slidesharing sites
3. create a flickr account and upload all the images
4. search for other image/slideshare gallery sites and upload to them. (I welcome any suggestions regarding this).
Any other suggestions for submissions? I was also thinking of creating some written content around each image. What type of web properties would be best for for example a FAQ about custom made emerald rings, or other types of jewelry.

You could make them available via Creative Commons on condition that a link is provided back to the originator's website if they're used.
Google have recently stated that they've made an improvement to their algorithm in the way that size is a ranking factor, so make sure the large versions of the image are of decent dimensions, but don't forget to compress the image. And keyword related filenames and alt tags will help people find them of course.
Do the pictures look AMAZING? Unique? Professional? If they're great/different photos it'll make people more likely to share them.
Some studies have shown that photos with eye contact can be more successful, is the jewellery modelled? And pictures of cute animals always go down well, how about jewellery for dogs, cats, or chameleons etc?
How about offering free photos and jewellery to influential bloggers in the niche in return for a review and link?
If you created the best step-by-step guide to making jewellery on the Internet, that would get a load of links, but as your client has only just agreed to share the images perhaps they won't be open to doing something like that yet...

That's a great idea, I forgot that a video can be a collection of stills
Any advice on which video sites to use? Should I be embedding links into the youtube videos? Which sites would give me a do-follow link?

I would also create videos showing specific types of jewelry (rings, chains, etc.) and post them on video sites. Make sure you brand the videos and tags them to your client's site.

Can piracy sites linking to you hurt your SEO?
Hello, Our website sells software that we have developed, but there are piracy websites that offer a crack/keygen to our software and are linking to our site. From an SEO perspective, are those sites hurtful to us if their spam score is below 30 and their DA is not 1? We'd like to understand if there is any action we need to take from an SEO point or if our site's SEO is not affected by it. Thank you!

Best SEO Friendly URL
Hi. Currently I'm using the following url: mysite.com/this-is-the-news-title/news-1234 The news title followed by the directory and the news id. Same goes to mysite.com/my-name/user-123 I think its better for SEO since the relevant words (news title and name) are to the left of the link. But some people are saying that this is not good for SEO because crawlers can't "organize" the urls in directories. So they say its better to use: mysite.com/news/this-is-the-news-title/1234 mysite.com/user/my-name/123 Cause then the crawler know what is a news and what is a user. What do you guys think? Thanks.

I was looking for the best practice to use anchor tags...
Seomoz says NOT to use your anchor terms on other external pages as you will cannabilize your main page - this is news to me. Appreciate any input on this.
