How to get backlink from Flickr?

[harrygreen90]

I know Flickr is for sharing photos it is possible or how to get backlink from it? I would like to hear your SEO ideas to get SEO benefits from Flickr. Thanks!

Go to Flickr and create an account.
Go to profile settings and update your profile using your website details and put your website there.
And copy your flicker public profile link and submit to google link submitter to index and crawl.

In addition to sharing your profile link, don't forget to modify your photos with a "watermark" which includes your short link to your desired landing.

So many eyes look at your photos and even when interested, don't know where to go to find you!

A good "organic" strategy would be to use graphics (and photos) as a way to gain interest and traffic (targeted depending on your graphic).

SEO wise it won't help much. Your link is going to appear on a page with no authority.

Why? Flickr is a popular website and I think it can help driving traffic to your website if you have links on your profile. Although I don't believe that Flickr can help SEO but at least it can help in traffic aspect.

And like I said, SEO wise it won't help at all. What part of that are you not understanding?

I don't understand two things
- Links from social networks as on Flickr or others such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin..etc..didn't count as backlink for websites?
- Links on profile files on websites or social networks will not be useful for SEO?

All of those links are extremely weak. They are on pages that have zero authority on their own. It would be hard to finder weaker links.

And a lot of Facebook and LinkedIn are blocked unless you are logged in or a follower of a particular page. Google couldn't even see those pages if they wanted to.

I would like to know how you "define" a page that will give weak backlinks? what tools or ways to know about that?

 

[SEOPub]

SEOPub

The strength of a link is determined by the location on the page of the link, the relevance, and the links that are pointing to the page where the link is.

So links on places like Facebook are extremely weak. Yes, Facebook has tons of links pointing to it, but not the page where your link will appear. Same thing with Twitter, Flickr, and any other social media site.

Wasn't for SEO. The strategy is for traffic and SALES! lol!

Actually flickr is a image sharing sites, images also getting backlinks to your websites. In flicker sites you can able to add the anchor text its very helpful to increase your website backlinks and you can add title, description and tags.
1. First you go to flickr.com and create an account
2. Next step go to settings and completely update your information and put it your website link
3. After updating you get one url copy that url and submit in google and you should index and crawl your page.
