    Hi guys i have site with pictures for mobile phones.
    I have optimised them. atleast i believe i have, i have added alt tags with their names, titles, descriptions, on every page there are around 54 pictures and 10-20-30 words(keywords). my site is new 1 month old, but still i cant get more than 7-10-15 uv's from organic traffic. can you help me out here?
    my site is pr3 and i have around 3000 backlinks but still no big effect.
    i have around 800 pictures on my site for now, i will add 800 more until the end of the year.
    There are categories on my site with their own keywords and detailed descriptions. but still no big effect.

    Its really tough to get organic traffic to pictures site. The main reson is lack of text based content. The best approach is to include as much relevant text as possible with each post (or page).
    Social bookmarking sites are best to get traffic for such sites. Dont try to spam them, just post good images on your site and let those Sb users find them. Kids share interesting pictures like crazy.

    Arpit - spot on. Getting a solely picture based website could prove to be a wee bit difficult, even with all the alt tags and other stuff being right.

    A short description for each picture or maybe each category could atleast get your category page to rank which is good. You could even associate a blog with your domain and write about mobile phones, providing contextual links to each category page.

    I think the point is adding some relevant text along with the images. And you may want to write something on your index page so that it will be keyword rich.

    You have not mentioned your website url. For getting more organic visits you can submit your site into social media sites such as digg, stumble upon, sphinn and many more others available on internet. Through such social sites, you can get lots of organic visits to your site.

    well for getting traffic for picture sites. the first priority is that your picture of home page should be very very eye catching and clear. Unless its like first impression as bad impression. Rest promote your website to everywhere in social media and portfolio sites.

    You said it's just 1 month old. You need to do more link building for the site. You can't get the rankings in just a short time.
