Comments on: Flickr tip - Add TITLE and Description to every image http://danperry.com/wordpress/flickr-titles-and-descriptions/ Discussing golf marketing, internet marketing, golf course reviews, and other miscellany. And maybe beer.

Remember that a good percentage of my pics (and yours) have nothing to do with anything in particular, and wouldn't benefit from ranking for anything in the SERP's. I do write reviews of most of the golf courses I play, so the value of ranking for the golf course name is apparent. Although there's no money involved (I don't monetize this blog; more interested in sharing my opinion), there is value to me in ranking. As for your question, it is and it isn't. I think it depends on the goal. Is there value in having the image ranked? If there isn't, no biggie (here's an example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/golf_pictures/2569749823/). If there is, it's worth considering. @Jim L I don’t think it’s very important in cases liek this.

For instance, this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimbl/2573026948/ Just curious, title isn't really indicative of the photo, but putting exactly what the photo is seems boring. Thoughts?

That's going to change, post haste! I normally add a strong TITLE, then leave the rest blank. That’s going to change, post haste!

I don't even have a Flickr pro account, but I would suspect in the next week or two I will upgrade and be able to see stats then. Good info though, I will have to try a little more detail with my stories. :) Jim I usually title and describe my photos, but mine are usually more “story” like rather then keyword heavy.
