How do you maximize usage of your web site with huge hard disk space from your provider, when you have limited time to write more articles that will fill it up? One way to do it is by filling it up with free reprints of articles by other Internet experts and pros. Aside from filling up a web site with freely distributable ezine articles from different sources, I found another innovation which would surely be likened by busy entrepreneurs like you. The strategy is by publishing a photo gallery section in your web site. From my weekend hobby of going around New York City, and taking pictures with my digital camera since 1999, I found this collection of pictures very useful in making my web site "magnetic" and enjoyable to visitors. What's more amazing is that in each page with a postcard size picture, I could insert banner ads and text ads from affiliate partners, which is another source of income for an internet-based business.
My digital photo gallery is like a movie presentation, which makes my visitors enjoy the beauty of my carefully selected digital pictures. But in each picture page there is a banner ad and a text ad which advertises either my products and services or the products of my affiliate partners. So, aside from building a virtual mall in my web site, I built a virtual theme park, too, by using my collection of digital pictures. It's like a tourist spot you could visit anytime. The only difference is that it's free, and you experience the sceneries in front of your computer.
It's easier to create photo galleries now for the web, because these programs come with the purchase of digital cameras. If you want to try this marketing idea, but you have limited pictures for the gallery, you could visit some photo gallery web sites who offer free downloads of their photo collections. One good name I could recommend to you is businessmate.com. However, if you have a collection of your own digital pictures now, don't just keep them in your hard disks. Use them as HTML pages that could make your web site content-rich and favorite of the search engine robots. It's faster to build hundreds of web pages from these pictures, than the time-consuming writing articles. But don't forget to place the right key terms in the alt tags of these pictures. These texts for alt tags are your "baits" for the spiders and crawlers to consider your photo gallery as the one that makes your site content-rich.
