I have added a photo album to the website to display some of my Australia photos. Instead of using an image hosting gallery I decided to set myself a bit of a challenge by trying to optimise the images for Google Images search results.

Google Images usually takes around 4-6 months to index new images so this is definately going to be a long-term project. I will continue to add more photo’s to the site during the year and hopefully the results will begin to appear within a few months. A number one result for ‘Sydney Opera House’ might be slightly ambitious to start but it’ll be interesting to see how it goes.

A Google Images test
I’m going to see if linking directly to these images helps them appear when searching for my name in Google Images:
