I feel like a tool. Flickr is screwing me on Google traffic

    My site has grown steadily over the last few months, but all most all of the growth as been from referring sites. I get about 14% of my traffic from Google, which seems very low compared to other sites similar to mine. Other sites get over 80% of their traffic from Google.

    I didn't know what I was doing wrong.

    I think I figured it out. Most of the other sites like mine are getting over 1000 visists per week from Google images. I get zero.

    I host all my images on Flickr.

    I am getting ZERO traffic from Google images. Since I've started doing a daily photo in November, I'll probably have to move 100 photos to my server and change the links if I want to start getting Google image traffic.

    Lesson learned....
