The Viral Value of Pictures
There is a great value in pictures. The majority of human beings are visually oriented, and we use pictures on a website to get a quick orientation of the content.
To make it easier for visitors to evaluate content, add pictures to your blog posts or website’s articles. Flickr lets you save and share your pictures, as well as use others on your website, through the Creative Commons license.
There is a feature for bloggers and website owners to add thumbshots to the website they are linking to. The very appropriate name of the service is thumbshots.org.
Thumbshots.org lets users spread the message of using thmubshots by having member websites link back to them - which helps the SEO rank for Thumbshots.org, and in return, all member websites that are linked to.
To add thumbshots to your website, all you have to do is follow the sign up process, and you’re ready to add your thumbshots to your site. Through a simple image tag, adding the url you link to, the thombshot is shown on your website. Below are some examples.
I have added thumbshots to anyone who comments on this blog. Add your comment and see a thumbshot of your own website here.
