The top ways to drive traffic to your photography website are all time and relationship intensive.  The first issue you have to cross before you can even consider driving traffic to your website is “will your users ever come back?”  Without good content few will return, but that’s obvious so lets just skip that topic for another time.  Here’s three ways to drive traffic to your photography website.

1.  Develop a great working relationship with a famous photographer.  If he mentions your work on his website, you have the potential to get thousands of hits in a single day from just one link.  Overall, this is a short term solution.  A single mention from David Hobby will change your life.

2.  Use Flickr.com and get involved within the photography community.  People love to see your work.  In fact if you’ve read this far look at my photostream!  Create links to your website from within the descriptions of your posted photos.

3.  If you’re not blogging about your experiences, then you’re not contributing to the photography community around you.  Being grateful and helping others brings good kharma… try it. 

I’d love to hear about other’s experiences in this arena.
