I launched a wallpaper site about a month ago. I regularly open 1-3 gallery-style topics daily (one gallery contains between 10-20 wallpapers, I open them as topics) and I enter a unique 2-3 sentence description. I haven’t gotten involved with links, promotional posts, etc. yet (I don’t really understand them much anyway). So far, I have linked back to the site by uploading some wallpapers from certain topics to sites like Reddit, Facebook, StumbleUpon, and DeviantArt.
What are your suggestions? What kind of path should I follow?
Try to be more active on image-based social networks. You can build a good follower base by using the right categories (such as Flickr, Pinterest, Tumblr).
Additionally, you can do some minor work on images to get traffic from them. For example, you could start a blog about movie posters. By posting quality content there, you can link to the images. (You can provide a link in the format of yoursiteaddress.com/image-address.)
Having image file names related to the image can help you get a lot of traffic from Google Images.
Which script and what kind of hosting are you using, sir?
All images are published with alt tags. Image files are uploaded to the server and names like image-name-1, image-name-2 are entered for all of them, sir. I use WordPress. I created a responsive, clean, and quite useful theme for myself.. I can say it is 70% unique.
Exactly, having it in the image-name-1 format is important; even if the image name conflicts with other images, the code there ensures uniqueness. The server is important; what kind of server are the photos hosted on? If you don’t mind, could you give me the site name so I can examine it?
The initiative in this matter is entirely up to the site owner. You can start when you feel your satellite sites have become sufficiently strong. Do not look at these sites strictly as satellite sites. It is much better to view them as sub-sites. You can get results by opening a site named filmafisleri.com, seeing that it receives traffic, and then linking to the main site.
You should proceed here without going overboard and without acquiring low-quality links, otherwise you may face problems in the future. Additionally, open topics on platforms where you believe you can get traffic (like forums, dictionaries) or write replies to related existing topics. If visitors come to your site from the link provided, you can see the benefits significantly.
Thank you. Let the topic remain open. I will share the steps I take and my progress here in the topic from time to time. I hope this will be a guide for others as well.
